Kleenex is the brand behind the word “tissue”, Band-Aid is the brand behind bandages, and Benchmade is the brand behind the Osborne 940. And, after 21 years of production, one of the biggest names in folding knife history has decided to make a mini version, dubbed the Osborne 945. It’s quite the challenge to take […]
Cold Steel 4Max Scout Review
Have you ever wished your pocket knife was as heavy as a fixed blade? Have you ever wanted a folding knife that you could possibly hold with 2 hands? Do you ever desire to perform the act of chopping small tree branches with your folder? Or, if you’re just looking for one of the biggest, […]
Sencut Acumen Review
Reviewing budget knives used to be a simple task – all they had to do was not be garbage and we’d be impressed. I know that’s setting the bar low, but for a long time the bar for budget knives was incredibly low. You get what you pay for, and when you pay $5 for […]
Work Sharp Knife & Tool Sharpener Mk2 Review
When it comes to knife sharpeners, there’s a decent amount of choices – but what’s interesting about this market is that no one really agrees on what the best type is, much less what the best brand or model is. I suppose there are several ways to skin a cat, and knife sharpener preference boils […]
Gerber Asada Micarta Review
A lot of the knives I review are simply just interesting knives, and the purpose of the review is to see if they’re any good. It’s a fairly simple concept, and it’s worked well for me over the years. But sometimes I review a knife to answer a specific question, one that’s not necessarily applicable […]

Key Specs: Olight Warrior Mini 2 Length 4.65″ Weight 4.3 oz Max Lumens 1750 Max Throw 220 meters Battery 3500mAh 18650 Cost About $90 This weekend I was able to check out the Olight Warrior Mini 2 in some more depth. It really is one of my favorite EDC flashlights thanks to the sheer power […]
QSP Gannet Review
Let us begin this review not with a clever summary of the knife and a splashy metaphor, but by talking about country of origin. The QSP Gannet is a Chinese product, with a capital C, and at no point does QSP even attempt to disguise this fact in any way. If you navigate to the […]
Spyderco Gayle Bradley 2 Review
Are you tired of sequels? Well, Spyderco isn’t. It seems like they make a CQI (constant quality improvement) variant of a knife, a sprint run, a dealer exclusive, or a different color of an existing knife on a weekly basis. All the while, leaving many of their greats behind in production. But, luckily for all […]
Spyderco Slysz Bowie Review
Marcin Slysz has been making knives for quite some time. He makes beautiful, custom folding knives, that fetch high end price tags. But as many one-man-show knife makers do, Marcin has teamed with Spyderco multiple times to make collaboration knives, which are manufactured by Spyderco on a production level to meet the demand of high […]
Asher Knives Spiro review
What brings me joy is finding new stuff, interesting stuff, weird stuff – stuff you’ve never heard of. For the same reason that I can’t feign interest in the latest multicolored exotic steel sprint run of a Spyderco they’ve been making for twenty years, I just can’t help but seek out fresh items. A lot […]
