Being burned is a modern world reality. Not all of us have had a dislocated shoulder or severe lacerations, but I can almost guarantee that everyone reading this has been burned at least once. I find it interesting that there's typically so much advice/discussion within … [Read more...]
Helle Mandra Les Stroud Small Bushcraft Knife Review
Reviewing the Helle Mandra offers insight into my (honest) bias. In a lot of ways, I have to compare my feelings for this little "neck knife" to the conclusion I reached in my review of the Buck 110. It's a non-optimal knife that I can't help but love. It's surprising to me … [Read more...]
October 2017 EDC Pocket Dump
Similar to another EDC of mine from earlier this year, but hey, it's what I'm using. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Frankly, with how grim the weather has been here in the UK, I'm quite happy to just stay at home puffing my pipe. Everyday Carry Item Breakdown Coffee … [Read more...]
Lefty? The Best Left-Handed EDC Knives to Get Your Hands On
Wrong-handed folks have long being stigmatized in the knife industry. There are a number of pocket knives designed with left-handed support, don't get me wrong, but most of these seem to me to be more of an afterthought, rather than being true ambidextrous folding EDCs. … [Read more...]
Asthma Attacks: Symptoms, Treatment, & When to Seek Help
A couple of weeks ago, I woke up to a feeling I hadn't experienced in over a decade. As a kid I had mild asthma, and to suddenly feel my breathing become constrained - the start of a very mild asthma attack - was a real wake up call for me. I had almost forgotten that I used … [Read more...]
September 2017 EDC Pocket Dump
A minimalist EDC update for doing things around my grandmother's garden. This, of course, does not include all the things in my pocket that can be seen here. The Mandra is a super nifty little knife. I would define it broadly as a neck knife, but you can just about get a … [Read more...]
5.11 Tactical Stryke Pants Flex-Tac Ripstop Apparel Review
I've had these 5.11 Stryke Pants for a while now, have tried and tested them and worn them every day for over a month, and yet still have found myself really struggle with formatting this review. See, reviewing clothes and apparel on this blog is always difficult for me. In … [Read more...]
Kershaw Pub Sinkevich Multi-Function Keychain Knife Review
I think many of you will have seen this review coming. When Kershaw announced the "Pub" by Dmitry Sinkevich, I was beyond excited. It seems to me that Spyderco was always the de facto "weird 'lil knives" company, but recently I have found myself straying and loving these new … [Read more...]
Kershaw Emerson CQC-10K Folding EDC Knife Review
Ever since Kershaw announced their collaboration with Ernie Emerson, I have been waiting for a knife like the CQC-10K to arrive. The first Emerson collabs were in the same vein as the previously reviewed CQC-6K, a true-blue Emerson design, but in a smaller-than-Emerson … [Read more...]
August 2017 EDC Pocket Dump
Minimalist EDC in my grandmother's garden. Nope, the CQC-10K is definitely not UK legal, but private property = I get to carry it anyway. Review coming soon, but spoiler alert - it's freaking amazing. As a side note, I removed a lot of my "extra" mini-tools that were on … [Read more...]
