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...]

Helle Temagami Les Stroud Survival Knife Review
TV personality knives have always gotten a bad rap from the bushcraft community. Far too often companies overplay their hands and throw in marketing crap into a tool that is supposed to be practical in nature. This pessimism isn't helped with products like the first … [Read more...]
goTenna Mesh Off-Grid Communication Device Review
In late 2015, I reviewed the original goTenna. It's fair to say that, right off the bat, I was pretty smitten with the concept of this tech, but back then, I felt the goTenna was too far ahead of its time due to the inherent range issues. Communication platforms only work on … [Read more...]
Review Roundup: Quartermaster, Baladeo, Boker, & Tops Knives
After I published my process for reviewing knives, some of you wanted me to do some quick reviews on the blades I own, but for various reasons, are undeserving of a full review. These are quick and dirty overviews and I 100% gloss over some of the aspects. I picked four … [Read more...]
Boker Plus Exskelibur I Titanium Framelock Knife Review
The Boker Plus Exskelibur line of knives has been a mainstay of the Boker catalogue, and for good reason. This Burger/Skellern custom design features unique quirks that no other production knife has (more on this later) with solid ergonomics and way, way above average … [Read more...]
Spyderco Roadie Little Big EDC Slipjoint Knife Review
Over the past few years, the amount of Spydercos I've reviewed has dwindled. A lot of this is due to the relative high cost of the new stuff (Mamba anyone?) or what I would define as thoroughly uninspired designs (Polestar... what where you thinking Sal?!), but every once in … [Read more...]
SouthOrd PXS-14 USA-Made 14 Piece Lock Pick Set Review
When I think of lock picking, SouthOrd is the brand that immediately springs to mind. A few days ago I scribbled about a lock pick adventure on Survival Threads and decided to test out the waters and do a review of my favourite (thus so far) lock picking set, the SouthOrd … [Read more...]
Leatherman Signal Wilderness Survival EDC Multi-Tool Review
When the Leatherman Signal was announced, it was billed the ideal preparedness tool to have if you ever find yourself stranded. The literature even uses the example of being stuck at base camp and thus having to rely on this badboy alone - a tall order for what is on paper a … [Read more...]
Spyderco Pingo Slip Joint Everyday Carry Knife Review
When I heard that Jens Anso and Jesper Voxnaes were the designers behind the Spyderco Pingo, I was ecstatic. I always loved the unique minimalism that Anso and Vox brought to the table and this guaranteed that I would end up snapping this fella' up. Sadly (for me) the Pingo … [Read more...]
Schrade SCH304 Heavy Duty Folding Knife Review
Schrade has had a rocky history with a lot of us, from its traditional American beginnings to the rebadged "New Schrade" owned by Taylor Brands LLC (of reformed mall ninja fame). I have always had a slightly kneejerk negative reaction to the whole thing, but after many years … [Read more...]
