Some the knives you people buy are terrible, and some of the knives that have been real popular with the knife cognoscenti are objectively unlikable. Or maybe it’s just that they […]
WE Knife Banter Review
As every reviewer has the obligation to say, “What iiiiiiis up, guys?!”.

Spyderco SpydieChef review
Stainless steel knife blades are a great thing to have at the ready, in your pocket at any time. A completely stainless knife is one better. Add a dash of class, a pinch of titanium, and a ton of unique style, and bake at $234 for 3-5 days, and the result is the Spyderco SpydieChef. […]
