When we reviewed our first QSP knife last year, it was really a shot across the bow in terms of quality for a budget knife. The Gannet front flipper blew us away with its high level of finish, immaculate front flipper deployment action, exotic materials and attention to detail for the $80 price point. If […]
Civivi Elementum Set
‘Tis the season for giving and so we decided to take a look at the Civivi Elementum II gift set which includes a snow-white Elementum II button lock knife paired with a rather nice StellarQuill pen (quite a name!). Everything comes nicely presented in a cute little gift box so it’s all set to be […]
Gerber Assert Review
There’s an old idiom that says “good things come in small packages” – that just because something’s small doesn’t mean it’s not worth admiration. I think that’s certainly true when it comes to pocket knives, because my bell curve of greatness skews to the left, where I find a lot more utility and usefulness and […]
Knafs Lander Review
“What iiiiiiiis UP guys?” If you’ve been into knives and the unique culture that surrounds them on the internet, that phrase probably elicits a Pavlovian response in your head – assuming you’re a fan of YouTube knife videos. Ben Peterson was the face of BladeHQ’s YouTube channel from 2011 until 2013, then had a stint […]
Kershaw Covalent Review
Fresh on the heels of reviewing the surprisingly excellent Kershaw Heist, equipped with Kershaw’s new Dura-Lock, we’re also taking a look at the Covalent. The Covalent is one of four knives that Kershaw released at the same time with their new sliding-bar lock, which is KAI’s equivalent of an AXIS lock or other similar locks […]

The Best Emerson Knives
As a knife enthusiast, you may love Emerson or hate Emerson, but it’s at least a safe bet to say you know Emerson. It’s hard not to, what with the brand being the genesis of the tactical knife genre that so many other brands today are built around. In this round-up article we’ll be taking […]
Cold Steel American Lawman Review
Andrew Demko and Cold Steel are synonymous names in the folding knife world. Before venturing out on his own to make a new line of knives (the AD20 and AD20.5 line), he worked under Cold Steel’s brand as a designer for many of their knives, with an emphasis on the spokesman and testing side of […]
Civivi Vision FG
We recently got our hands on the Civivi Vision FG and I have to say it’s darn impressive. This knife is a collaboration between WE Knife and Malaysian designer Snecx Tan. It’s a sweet looking folder that’s truly ambidextrous thanks to dual thumb studs and with well balanced ergo’s. The blade on this one is […]
Schrade Radok Review
We know what you’re thinking. Schrade still makes knives? Actually, it would be more accurate to say that Schrade is making knives again. The history of the brand is long, storied, and troubled. Dating as far back as 1904, the cutlery company founded by George Schrade eventually became part of a conglomerate of 5 other […]
