A couple of weeks ago we published an article on the best value folding knives, bang for buck. Now, the last time we posted a massive knife roundup list like this (our best EDC knife article), I ended up with a lot of "leftover" photos that I loved, but couldn't use in the main article. I decided to put some of these extra images into a knife drop so that I could still share them with you ...
CRKT Drifter G10 EDC Folding Pocket Knife Review
The CRKT Drifter has been a mainstay of the CRKT catalog for more than a few years now. I never really thought much of it based on its aesthetics, which is why it's taken so long for me to pick one up. This is a decision I rather regret now.

Thoughts on Pre-made Emergency Preparedness Kits
This past spring, I received a series of questions from an intern over at the CBC, asking me if I'd be able to answer some questions with regards to how effective I felt emergency preparedness kits were for those in Canada.

So when you have a plastic scaled flipper drop point folder with a super lean hollow grind, then it's ...
Cold Steel Rajah 2 Oversized Folding Knife Review
The Cold Steel Rajah II is by far the largest folding knife I own. Swinging in with a 6 inch (15.24 cm) recurve blade, it's a pretty fearsome sight. I have been hounded to review some of the big folders from Cold Steel for some time, and whilst many of my preconceptions about the size of the knives were confirmed when I finally held one in my hands for the first time, I did also find a lot to like ...
