I received the Kershaw Camp 10 in the mail right before I departed to the mountains of Virginia for a few days. I took it out to clear some access trails to our tree stands and it worked comfortably all day. The Kershaw Camp 10 is a full tang fixed blade machete with a design […]
The Emerson Knives Commander is celebrating it’s 20 year anniversary this year. Early on Emerson Knives created the ES1-M, which was developed as an all-around survival knife for the SEAL Teams. That knife (The ES1-M) is what we know today as the Emerson Commander knife. Take a look at the photo below out of Tactical Knives […]
Machetes are a great tool to have in the arsenal. I’ll be honest in saying that during the majority of my time in the Ranger Regiment, machetes were not all that common. They were, however, used by some lead elements to break through brush when conducting jungle specific operations or movements through the densely vegetated […]

As avid of a knife fan as I am, I still feel like I need to justify the purpose and intent of each one I own. Fixed blade knives have a wide range of uses. From skinning a deer, filleting a fish or self-defense; these primitive weapons still find a special place in our heart, […]

I’ve had the ESEE 4 for a few weeks now, and it’s been a near constant companion on my adventures. It’s too large for everyday carry, but perfect for every adventure carry. I’ve taken fishing in the Gulf of Mexico and exposed it to salt water, and barely cleaned it and not a touch of […]
ESEE knives are made with absolute attention to detail using the finest raw materials and care during the manufacturing process. The ESEE-3 is a no compromise high-performance fixed blade knife designed for anything from general utility work to use as the survival knife in your bug out bag. Designed by jungle survival instructors for performance […]
The SpyderCo Assist rescue knife blasts through glass and slices with ease. This is the safest and most effective rescue knife we’ve ever used.
I have carried a Gerber multi-tool for many years and still do so I was excited to check out their StrongArm fixed blade. I got to test it in the field through a couple of training operations and it withstood everything from opening MREs to some light bushcraft in the form of shelter construction. To […]
