REVIEW – A short time ago, Leatherman teased that new products were coming to their lineup. There was a lot of speculation about what that might be. There was mention of a budget-friendly Arc or maybe Magnacut blades in some of their other multitools. I think it’s safe to say most people who follow Leatherman

REVIEW – I’m murdering onions tonight with the TACRAY Folding Kitchen Chef Knife! Designed for the kitchen and the campground, this beastie folds up for stowing like a pocket knife but boasts full-sized performance for your food prep needs. Don’t feel bad for the onions (they know what they did). To the review! ⬇︎ Jump to

REVIEW – A utility knife is a great EDC option because if the blade gets dull or damaged, it can be replaced with a fresh blade. Generally, the handle and opening/closing mechanisms of utility knives are inexpensive. The OKNIFE U1 Ultra utility knife changes this with a precision blade lock and quality materials. I have

REVIEW – I’ve carried a small knife for the last 20 years or so, but I’ve never considered myself a “knife guy.” More of a “guy with a knife.” In fact, I’ve carried the same knife for the last 20 years. (Well, not the exact same knife because I lose stuff, but the same

REVIEW – We’re looking at a piece of history today! It is said that the Gerber LST pocketknife changed the EDC knife game back in the early 1980s. Fast-forward to 2025, and we’re looking at the latest edition of this lightweight workhorse. I’ve got this knife’s standard and mini versions for evaluation, just in case you
REVIEW – Hi, my name is Zack and I have a knife problem although I’d prefer to call myself a knife aficionado. I just reviewed the very expensive Benchmade Bugout 535-09 and of course it’s hard not to love a knife of that quality but sometimes you just need something cheap but reliable. The original

REVIEW – I have wanted a Benchmade knife forever! I’ve never had one. I’ve only ever gotten my hands on them in stores specializing in outdoor sports. So when The Head Gadgeteer In Charge told us there were a couple of offers to review them, I jumped as high as my 51-year-old body could muster

REVIEW – Vosteed has gotten quite a reputation for offering great EDC pocket knives at exceptional prices. And if you didn’t know, they also love to name most of them after animals. One of my favorites is the Raccoon I reviewed last year. Now they’ve released the Porcupine. How does it measure up? Is it

REVIEW – The other day I counted all my folding knives and I got to 24 which includes my well used Benchmade Bugout 535BK-2 CF-Elite. My partner said I have a knife problem. We counted how many pairs of shoes she had and we got to 98 so I figured I would get another knife.
REVIEW – Being a fan of all things EDC, I am constantly reading articles and watching YouTube videos on the subject. Over the past year or so I kept coming across videos on the benefits of replacing a folding pocket knife with a fixed blade. Naturally I was very intrigued as I had yet to

REVIEW – Back in December of last year, I reviewed the Shieldon Gambit knife. I liked it a lot for a budget cleaver-style blade. The build materials were good as was the choice of steel in a budget knife. Well, I’m back with another Shieldon offering, the Hoplon. How does it compare to the previous

REVIEW – I prefer using a utility knife for slicing through packing tape when opening boxes vs. using a nice pocket knife. It’s so much easier and more convenient to replace a worn utility blade than having to clean sticky tape residue off a regular knife blade. When OKNIFE (a sub-brand of OLIGHT) asked if

REVIEW – The Tumbler Original Rolling Knife Sharpener is a safe and effective way to sharpen almost all knives, but does it grab your attention at its price point? I retained all 10 fingers during my testing and found the Tumbler easy to use and compact to store. Join us for a read and comment

REVIEW — Titanium? Adamantium? Vanax? Mithril? These metals are known for their unique properties, strength, and beauty, yet only two are available to us mere mortals. The We Knife Hyperactive is one of those rare finds made almost entirely from Titanium and Vanax. I have one to review; read on to see what I think!

REVIEW – I have reviewed a few Vosteed knives in the past including their first collaboration knife with RS Knifeworks called the RSKAOS. A fellow Gadgeteer also reviewed their Trek or button lock Thunderbird and both our reviews were very positive. Now Vosteed has teamed up with Tuffknives and created the Psyop. Let’s check it
