This could get dicey folks. As of 26 minutes ago, we hit over 80,000 confirmed cases of Coronavirus including a disturbing rise in a country adjacent to my own. The spread of this virus has shone a light on the darker impulses of our species from democratic abuse to … [Read more...]

After so many years of blogging (admittedly, not so much recently), its interesting to sit back and muse about what MTJS represents and how the girl and I have evolved along the way, both as people and as content creators. MTJS was created as a way of justifying my … [Read more...]

Re-reading my past scribbles is always interesting to me, not because I am obsessed with my own written word, but rather because bloggers, by virtue of being given a platform to be highly opinionated, tend to ignore uncomfortable realities when it's much easier to outright … [Read more...]

The insane have taken over the asylum folks. The geniuses over at the Canada Border Services Agency decided that they weren't going to let the United Kingdom beat them in the Stupid Olympics and have opted to ban the import of basically all folding knives (if the new law … [Read more...]

Back again with a Cyber Monday post, and just as I'd hoped, Amazon's deals are a lot better for knife aficionados - and hell even for outdoor gear junkies & survivalists - than Black Friday's sales were. Concentrating on Amazon & Blade HQ this time, because … [Read more...]

Welcome to our annual Black Friday Knife & Gear Deal Round up! This year (unlike last year) we have some pretty worthwhile Amazon deals you might want to jump on, though unlike last year, these are very, very few and far between, meaning we simply don't have much to … [Read more...]
