knives

I am not a collector, but a friend's father recently died, and appears to have had a significant collection including knives produced by some well-known makers. He is wondering how best to realize the value of those knives for his mother. He mentioned Arizona Custom Knives, and I understood that...

I read a few things recently about the Spyderco Shaman, and thought: Didn't I have one of those? I carried a Spyderco Native LightWeight for over 10 years. The Native LW was eventually usually replaced by a Spyderco Manix 2, which is larger and even stronger. Well, the Shaman is about the...

I have some nice knives designated for dressing game. And a couple of nice kitchen knives. These are expensive knives. Money well spent. For day to day I carry a box knife in my pocket. It cuts wire, nylon, rope, boxes, baling twine, used for prying, and taking out my frustration on hard to...

Active duty service members periodically have to move locations (and often, job positions). My Master Sergeant is PCSing out of state. The plaque has a plate commemorating his time with our company. It holds an engraved ESEE 6, and is designed to hold the knife securely, but allow for removal...

I know some folks got knives for Christmas (looking at you, Doc). Please share! Scout got a Gerber knife, and Uncle Al gave him a multitool.

I recently picked up these two WWII theater made knives online, I was hoping someone out there could help me learn something or anything about them! I probably over spent, but thought they were way cool so they were worth it!

I'm bound for British Columbia for a short excursion, or so it appears. Obviously this will mean some things have to be left at home. I've read around and I seem to have a grasp on the knife laws there though, I'll summarize my understanding here... No auto/gravity knives No concealed knives...

Ka-Bar is known for making solid, reliable knives that are usually in the medium-low price range of quality knives. Their Zombie line that came out a few years ago features four large different blades with black coating and interchangeable black or bright lime ("toxic") green handle scales. A...

Sam and I are justifiably proud of the Camp Defender knives, which are serious, no-frills gear, but if you're looking for a very large knife for the outdoors, it's hard to find a better deal than the RTAK II, which can often be found for a little over $100 on Amazon. If you choose the right...
