Gerber MiniSada 01 e1741665080267

REVIEW – Hi, my name is Zack and I have a knife problem although I’d prefer to call myself a knife aficionado. I just reviewed the very expensive Benchmade Bugout 535-09 and of course it’s hard not to love a knife of that quality but sometimes you just need something cheap but reliable. The original […]

Benchmade Adira knife review – Sitting on the dock of the bay in Magnacut, baby!

benchmade adira 10

REVIEW – I have wanted a Benchmade knife forever! I’ve never had one.  I’ve only ever gotten my hands on them in stores specializing in outdoor sports. So when The Head Gadgeteer In Charge told us there were a couple of offers to review them, I jumped as high as my 51-year-old body could muster

vosteed porcupine 6

REVIEW – Vosteed has gotten quite a reputation for offering great EDC pocket knives at exceptional prices. And if you didn’t know, they also love to name most of them after animals. One of my favorites is the Raccoon I reviewed last year. Now they’ve released the Porcupine. How does it measure up? Is it

Benchmade Bugout 01 e1740163640955

REVIEW – The other day I counted all my folding knives and I got to 24 which includes my well used Benchmade Bugout 535BK-2 CF-Elite. My partner said I have a knife problem. We counted how many pairs of shoes she had and we got to 98 so I figured I would get another knife.

Civivi babybanterfixedblade 9

REVIEW – Being a fan of all things EDC, I am constantly reading articles and watching YouTube videos on the subject.  Over the past year or so I kept coming across videos on the benefits of replacing a folding pocket knife with a fixed blade.  Naturally I was very intrigued as I had yet to

Shieldon Hoplon pocket knife review – Is it your next EDC pocket knife?

shieldon hoplon 2

REVIEW – Back in December of last year, I reviewed the Shieldon Gambit knife. I liked it a lot for a budget cleaver-style blade. The build materials were good as was the choice of steel in a budget knife. Well, I’m back with another Shieldon offering, the Hoplon. How does it compare to the previous

OKNIFE U1 Pro utility knife review – Solid knife with a hidden feature

oknife u1pro 10

REVIEW – I prefer using a utility knife for slicing through packing tape when opening boxes vs. using a nice pocket knife. It’s so much easier and more convenient to replace a worn utility blade than having to clean sticky tape residue off a regular knife blade. When OKNIFE (a sub-brand of OLIGHT) asked if

TUMBLER 13

REVIEW – The Tumbler Original Rolling Knife Sharpener is a safe and effective way to sharpen almost all knives, but does it grab your attention at its price point? I retained all 10 fingers during my testing and found the Tumbler easy to use and compact to store. Join us for a read and comment

Vosteed Psyop 01 scaled e1735244124819

REVIEW – I have reviewed a few Vosteed knives in the past including their first collaboration knife with RS Knifeworks called the RSKAOS.

Case Black Carbon Fiber Weave CT2 Hunter knife review – A phenomenal little EDC fixed blade

case taylor 1

REVIEW – I’m typically a folding pocket knife kind of guy. It’s not that I don’t like fixed blades. I love them too, but I never found one I could conveniently carry all the time. Most of the time the fixed blades are too big or the sheath is bulky and uncomfortable. But, I watch
