There's a whole lot of nonsense that gets repeated on the internet, and there's no exception to this rule, even for the knife community. Many of the "facts" about knives that people wholeheartedly believe are not facts at all, but are really just myths, commonly believed and rarely ever questioned. While these myths are typically blatantly false, there are good explanations for why many of them ...
Buck 110 Folding Hunter Knife Review
The Buck 110 is a classic slice of Americana. I love this knife, though to be frank, I love it maybe a little more than I should. When I finally bit the bullet and ordered my Buck 110, I was ecstatic. I grinned ear to ear when it arrived, and when I at last took it out of the packaging, I explained to Elise just how long this knife has been on my want list, how nice it was to finally have it, and ...
Vegan/Vegetarian? Would That Change in a Survival Situation?
Just over a week ago, an episode of Naked and Afraid aired that, to me, stood apart from many of the rest. What made this episode particularly fascinating was that a hunter, Adam Young, with quite traditional views on wilderness survival and what's necessary to survive, had been paired up with a vegetarian, Jaclyn McCaffrey, a woman experienced in primitive living skills, but who did not want to ...
Spyderco Resilience Black G-10 Folding Knife Review
For all intents and purposes, when you imagine the Spyderco Resilience, you should simply imagine an upscaled Tenacious, much like the Spyderco Endura is an upscaled version of the Spyderco Delica. I've personally modified the blade on my Spyderco Resilience (just as I had on one of my Tenacious knives), in order to make it a much leaner slicer. I prefer having a finer tip for utility on these ...
Stitches, Bandages, or Super Glue?
If, like myself, you frequently enjoy trampling in forests and repeatedly hitting trees with sharp slabs of steel, at one point or another you're going to get a cut or two. Many of these will be no more than scrapes, tiny love bites from recently acquired folding knives or nature's little reminders of the adventures you've had together. Other cuts, however, will be much more serious. In this ...
Spyderco Urban Safety Orange G-10 Slip Joint Knife Review
I've been asked a few times already why I never seem to carry slip joints. Although I do have a few, they don't make up a large part of my collection, not because I have anything against slip joints, but because the knives I happen to like coincidentally happen to have locking mechanisms. I am aware that the Spyderco Urban, one of the very few slipjoints I do own, is possibly the least traditional ...
