This Modern Gentleman Folder is as Soulless as Most Modern Gentleman I have to be careful and start by saying the Civivi Elementum functions well.

This Burlap Micarta Handled Utility EDC Knife Has Hard Use Specs But The Jimping Is Over The Top. I’ve never been quiet about my love for Buck knives. I love the brand’s history, the quality, and the general styling. So, when the chance came to write the Buck 841 Sprint Pro Burlap Micarta Review, I …
Good Looking, Tough And Easy To Carry. The lionSteel T5 is The Knife We All Aspire To Be The lionSteel T5 is a good looking knife. It is also relatively expensive. This is a combination that often gets me in trouble when writing a review. It is just too easy to make excuses for a …

My Cheap D2 Folder is Better than Your Expensive Supersteel I will die on my cheap muddy hill about this. In the right hands, D2 steel can have better edge retention and overall performance for the price than pretty much any other option on the market (but I’m also clearly biased toward budget steels). D2 …
A Tough Alternative To Shun Classic The 8 inch Mon chef knife is a pretty knife that’s comfortable and cuts well in that order.
