A Tough Capable Chef Knife That Falls Short of the Marketing Hype Direct to consumer knife company marketing tends to be fairly hyperbolic. I assume this is because they can not depend on the promotional efforts of their resellers, so they really talk the knives up in the limited marketing real-estate available to them. It …
This Julio Diez Knife is Basically a Machete that can Start Fires We’ve been fans of Julio Diez’s work ever since we got the Bush Slicer and the SBK and went on one of the best camping trips we’ve had in a long time. He has a functionally overbuilt sensibility with survival knives, and we …
A Classic Looking Damascus Steel Fixed Blade That Is A Handy Campsite Tool. The Forseti Steel Jim Baker would look right at home in a camping scene in an old black and white movie from the 50s. Its design lacks the popular fighter-jet aesthetic of modern tactical fixed blades, or the over simplified scaled-back barebones …

A Capable EDC Knife With High End Steel And A Low End Price. Call me crazy, but I try to balance quality with affordability as much as possible; I want as much for my buck as I can get. I don’t always need the latest and greatest tech or materials, but I want the things …
A Surprisingly Good Fixed Blade Camp Knife from a Folding Knife Company It’s weird to see a knife this big come from the same company that makes the Elementum, but here we are. Civivi made a big camp knife, and it oddly looks and feels exactly like you would expect a big, fixed-blade Civivi knife …
Key Review Takaways There’s a lot of flash in this knife: It has a fancy looking pin in the handle, the Damascus blade has a mirror polish and a hammer finish, there’s a big Dalstrong logo etched into the butt of the handle, and it ships with a metal pin in the box with about …
This Knife is the Only Good Pocket Bowie Out Right Now The Caiman is the kind of brilliant but simple design that makes you wonder why no one has made this a hundred times before. Not to say there aren’t folding knives with vague allusions to a bowie style, but I’ve never held a well …
