Cold Steel Talwar 21TTL Tactical Folding Knife Review
Cold Steel has never been shy about buckling trend and the Talwar really brings this point home in spades. Very few knives in my collection (and as you can imagine, I have many) feature a more visceral presence, and whilst the Talwar is (slightly) over the top and styling can be seen as a bit "too much" for some, frankly, I think it benefits the industry as a whole to have such divisive and ...
How to Purify Contaminated Water
Let's dive to the reader question right off the bat today.

I decided to put some of these extra images into a knife drop so that I could still share them with you ...
CRKT Drifter G10 EDC Folding Pocket Knife Review
The CRKT Drifter has been a mainstay of the CRKT catalog for more than a few years now. I never really thought much of it based on its aesthetics, which is why it's taken so long for me to pick one up. This is a decision I rather regret now. The cutlery industry is always trying to re-invent the wheel with new processes and materials so when a small boring knife joins the fray it's easy to ...
