I have talked about a lot of different knives from Schrade recently, and I usually have a lot of good things to say about them. I have really liked every knife I have reviewed from them … until now. The Uproar Tactical OTF by Schrade is a letdown and really doesn’t compare to the rest…
John Moses Browning (AKA The Prophet) is responsible for nearly every advancement in modern firearms. Even to this day, many of his designs are still essentially unchanged from their initial specs. His 1911 is the most familiar of these inventions and, of course, the authoritative .45 ACP cartridge that it fires. While practice ammo is…
The new Ed Brown fixed-blade knife is here, and Eoin’s taking it A to Z! This hot new fixed blade proves that Ed Brown puts the EDge in everyday carry knives. It’s a 5.5” drop point blade from A2 tool steel, making it a great working knife. It will hold an edge and be a…

In a world where carrying a gun at a festival is frowned upon, it’s nice to see an event where you are not only allowed to have one, but it’s encouraged. Yes, I’m talking about the Rod of Iron Freedom Festival located in Greeley, Pennsylvania, where I had the opportunity to attend the 4th annual…

As promised, we’re reviewing new knives from the big Schrade re-brand, and today I’m starting with my personal favorite: the drop-dead sexy Radok Pivot Lock Folder.
