I’m a sucker for new and unusual knives. Consequently, I spend a lot of time wandering around knife stores lusting over blades that I can’t afford. Now imagine my surprise when I found a brand new Spyderco knife at my local knife shop for under $20. Sounds too good to be true? Well, maybe I …
You can tell a lot about a person and how they use their knives by how many serrated blades they have in their rotation. For the longest time, I avoided having any serrations on my knives and considered it “wasted space” on the blade. However, if you are a bit wiser than I was you …
If you’ve started wondering about what steel is best for your next knife it means one of two things: you’re at the point in your life where you worry about things that don’t really matter, or you actually plan on giving this knife some punishment and performance matters a lot. Either way, you’ll soon find …
Let’s be honest, every knife magazine or website out there wants to highlight Sebenzas and Hinderer knives. Why? Well, first off, because they’re super sexy.

One of my best memories as a kid is visiting family in Idaho every holiday. I’m sure the food was great, but the most exciting thing we did was look for obsidian pieces and arrowheads. There was a site on my family’s land where we found dozens of 200+-year-old arrowheads that were still sharp enough …

But what’s worse would be to get pulled over for speeding and to unknowingly have an illegal knife in your pocket. Accidental felonies …
Despite how short and liberal Connecticut Knife Laws are, they leave a fair amount of latitude and confusion about the specific types of knives that can be owned or carried in the state. So let’s take a deep dive and see if we can make things a bit more black and white. Quick Notes Version …
I’m not sure what’s going on but I blame the hipsters. In the past year, the price of vintage knives, particularly high carbon versions, has gone sky-high. There is usually an ebb and flow of vintage knife sales but this time prices don’t seem to be coming back down anytime soon. Despite the hugely increased …
Don’t tell anyone, but I carried an illegal knife around my college campus for more than a year. I just didn’t know that I was breaking the law. I was carrying a Spyderco Paramilitary 2, not an egregiously large knife but one that was apparently illegal as the blade was over 3″ long. I knew …
Anodized knives run the entire luxury gamut. On one end you can find “anodized” stainless steel knives (for sale at gas stations everywhere) and on the other end, you get anodized titanium. The thing they all have in common is that they absolutely love fingerprints and grease. If you’ve ever held an anodized knife you …
