Bear & Son cutlery has been known for making solid edge-holding knives for quite some time now. While they deliver everything that you would expect in a quality blade, their products typically come at a price. Not wholly numb to this, the company has set out to add a few more budget-friendly offerings to the...

Regular readers know that I’m kind of tough to please, and that I consider it a service to you to point out the cons as well as the pros of an everyday carry knife up for my…
How do defensive experts choose a knife when they’re paying retail for it? Life can be sweet for a guy who tests and evaluates EDC knives, but the fact of the matter is that sometimes, yeah, we have to pay out of our own pockets for things we really want. But what happens if you…
One of the best things about testing outdoor gear is that I often get sneak peeks at EDC knives before they’re released to the public. The not-yet-released Tellus FLK knife from SOG Knives is one such. It caught my eye because of the bright and weird combination of colors available, but it held my gaze…
WE Knives is a knife company based out of China that has been at the forefront of the production knife game for a while now. It’s a very high-end brand, but the company also has two other imprints, both at more affordable price points: CIVIVI and Sencut. At the BladeShow in Atlanta, I was struck…
Boring knives are something of a tradition in my family … this thing of ours … but on this, the day of my daughter’s wedding, I have vowed that I will not allow a person in my family to carry around a small/boring knife. That’s right; I went to the Godfather. The Godfather Auto from…
This EDC knife knows it may be your last line of defense. Sure, folders and out-the-front knives have grown in leaps and bounds over the years, with their structural integrity becoming increasingly impressive. However, as good as they have become, they will never eclipse the reliable assurance of a fixed blade. With roots and inspiration…
At the NRA show this year in Houston I was walking through the aisle and this guy looked at me and said, “You look like a knife guy.” Well, yeah. Naturally, he took me to the Cold Steel booth and showed me to a case that read “New Releases.” Naturally, one knife called to me…
Ever heard of Acta Non Verba? ANV is a company out of the Czech Republic, and they have some of the coolest blade shapes on the market. Each and every knife in their lineup takes the “everyday” in “everyday carry” to “extraordinary.” Their new line of A100s and A200s doesn’t disappoint; up for AtoZ review…
There once was a knife design that took the knife world by storm. The so-called perfect knife for EDC, the chosen one, the creation of the knife gods. Released in 2017, it’s often imitated but never duplicated: the Benchmade Bugout. This knife was an instant hit as soon as it hit the market. The weight,…
The head nurse spoke up, said, “Leave this one alone.” She could tell right away I was bad to the bone. Look at this everyday carry beauty from CIVIVI! Designed for tactical use, it’s also perfect for any number of everyday tasks. The aggressive serrations and razor-sharp surfaces are bolstered by top-quality steel and a…
During this weird time in our country and world, there’s a knife company working to brighten the future. Founder Diane Carver found her inspiration in making the blade industry more women-friendly, noting the lack of offerings on the market designed for women. She wanted to make a difference; she wanted to brighten the user’s day;…
Yeah, that’s my Randall blade. I accept your envy. There is a name that is murmured around the knife world. A company so popular and exclusive that it takes five years to get their products in after placing your order. You can only buy one per household every month. They are resold at almost…
