Named after the slim, elegant, and deadly epaulette shark, this blade’s got Neeves Knives sprung … No everyday carry (EDC) rig is complete without a good, versatile blade, and reviewer NeevesKnives (you should like and subscribe!) has found just the one. With its silky-smooth action, top-quality steel, wicked edge, and superior flippability, the WeKnife Epaulette…
Human beings have no claws, no fangs, no armor. But the CIVIVI Incisor II does. Let’s face it: Nature kind of did us Homo Sapiens dirty. We’re not very fast, we’re nowhere near as strong as the other great apes, and let’s not even discuss our embarrassing lack of fur. But we’re survivors. We make…
Today, we’re back on the Schrade tip (see what I did there?) …. As part of my series on each and every knife from Schrade’s new lineup, today I’m spotlighting the all-new Kinetic Folder, which is a new addition to Schrade’s Delta class of knives. The Kinetic Folder’s blade is a clip point style made…
The Fox Wihongi is almost as much fun to use as it is to say. If you’re looking for high-quality cutlery, your first stop should be your native land of America. The second place, in my opinion, is Italy. Home to some of the best knife companies in the world, including the top of my…
With all the knives I have reviewed from Schrade I think I have found my favorite yet: the Shudder, and I have to admit it gives me a shiver up my spine. It has everything you need in a perfect EDC knife. The size and weight are perfect, and the action is smooth and quick….
Kid at Christmas! Unboxing the CIVIVI Elementum Tanto & Fixed Blade Our own Eoin May of @atoz_reviews got an early start on Christmas this year with two fantastic, gift-ready blades from CIVIVI. As our resident edged-weapon fanatic, Eoin’s reviewing these top-quality, budget-friendly knives with a weather eye for reliability and utility! From unboxing to unzipping…
In the words of the great Willie Nelson: “On the road again!” We are back on the road of reviewing knives from the new relaunch of Schrade. After my last review you may think I lost all hope in Schrade OTFs (Out The Front, or what’s also known as a telescoping or sliding knife), but…
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…
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…
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…
As we go along the trek of Schrade’s rebrand, we take another stop in the Alpha class and talk about a very weird but intriguing knife: the Triux Pivot Lock Folder. One of the new releases from Schrade, the Truix has a S35VN tanto-style blade that measures a little over 4 inches long, with a…
See how the Schrade Melee Automatic Knife stacks up against our other top picks in the best automatic knife guide. As we continue our journey through Schrade’s rebrand, I have come upon one knife that that’s the perfect entrée for carrying a knife every day. That doesn’t mean the pros can’t carry it, of course—just…
