For my first review of 2021, I figured it would be fun to court controversy by taking a look at Dalstrong knives, Specifically the Shogun Series X 10.25". Now to some of you sitting at home who haven't heard of Dalstrong knives and remain blissfully unaware of the vitriol … [Read more...]

How Much Is Your Life Worth? SafeGuard Armor Ghost Bullet Proof Vest Review
Before I get into the meat of this review, I want to structure this away from regurgitating specifications like every other review of this sort and instead spend it musing about what this product represents to so many people the world over. Bulletproof vests are not about … [Read more...]
Hazard 4 Grayman Series Patrol Tactical Backpack Review
Tactical backpacks are always a tricky proposition. Either they make you look like you just got off the set of Rambo or they are jam packed with performance compromises in an effort to pass as a normal pack. The Hazard 4 Grayman Patrol is one of the few true blue tactical … [Read more...]
Gerber MP600 Multi-Plier Bladeless Needle Nose Multitool Review
Reviewing Leatherman-style multi-tools is always a tricky proposition. They are essentially pliers with extra tools tacked on as an afterthought and in the case of the Gerber MP600, I found myself struggling with the performance of the pliers (wire cutters, specifically) and … [Read more...]
Svord Peasant Friction Folding Bushcraft Knife Review
The Svord Peasant knife is a century old design that was brought back to the mainstream by B.W. Baker. This is a knife I have used and owned for a good long while, but have always been on the fence with regards to reviewing it. In practical terms: this is a very, very basic … [Read more...]
Kershaw Shuffle II Blackwash Multi-Function EDC Knife Review
Back in 2015, I reviewed the original Kershaw Shuffle. I don't normally review newer models because usually the differences are so slight (Paramilitary 2 vs Paramilitary 3 for example), but in the case of the Shuffle II, it might as well be a different knife. It would be … [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...]
Legacy Food Storage Breakfast, Lunch, & Dinner Bucket Review
I know that many preppers think it's silly to fixate on taste when it comes to survival food. If you're in an emergency situation, they'll argue, you're unlikely to care about the taste of the food as much as you'll care that you have food in the first place. They're … [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...]
