My new favorite little big knife, Spyderco Techn

Image
It takes me a long time to buy anything. Once I decide I'm interested in something, I spend the next few weeks doing research, trying to make sure I'm going to make the right decision. I went through the same process when I decided I wanted a new pocket knife. I ultimately decided I was going to go with the Spyderco Techno, and when it first arrived, I thought I'd made a mistake.   The Techno is a design from Marcin Slysz, a Polish knifemaker. It has a blade made from CTS-XHP, and the handle scales are made from titanium. It is a framelock design, which means part of the scale on the right side acts as the locking mechanism. It's a very secure design, and this particular knife has no blade play in any direction. It's a real slicing machine now, which is surprising for its thickness. I have knives with blades half as thick that don't perform as well as this one. The other surprise with this knife, is just how comfortable

Spyderco Delica 4 FFG: long term review

Image
In the 1990s Spyderco was requested by a branch of a U.S. law enforcement agency to make a knife for their undercover agents. They needed to have a last ditch weapon just in case they found themselves in a situation that prevented them from carrying a handgun. The knife should allow an officer with no formal knife training to escape life-threatening situation. The Civilian is the result of that design challenge. The current production model now has a G-10 handle but the business end of the weapon is unchanged; a fearsome 4.125" (105 mm) fully serrated, hollow ground S-curved VG-10 blade with a 3.75" (95 mm) cutting edge. Blade thickness is .125" (3 mm) at the base near the handle and the overall length when opened is 9.188" (233 mm). You’re not reading this review for just the specs right? Let's go on to what this knife is meant for. The Civilian is the only production folder that I know of that is intended for cutting human flesh and not

Gerber Knives and the Art of Survival

Image
Survival equipment is a growing market in the last few years. Whether you just love trekking in the wilds or preparing for other activities, outdoor gear will be at the top of every wish list. Chances are, Gerber knives will appear in many of these wish lists.   From cutlery to the outdoors Gerber knives, one of the biggest and most well-known knife companies around, had humble beginnings. In the holiday season of 1910, founder Joseph Gerber mailed twenty-four sets of kitchen knives to clients of their family's advertising firm. The handmade knives caught the attention of Abercrombie & Fitch, who placed a request for more of the knives for their 1939 catalog. That same year, Gerber founded the company that would bear his name. By the 1960s, Gerber was one of the most trusted and collected name in knives. Gerber knives have seen use in wartime and peacetime, as hunting tools and survival gear. One old Gerber poster best describes the knifemaker's rep

Bear Grylls Knife - A Cut Above The Competition

Image
The Bear Grylls Ultimate Pro is the newest version of the Bear Grylls Gerber knife collection. The knife is a complete redesign from the original. They basically went back to the drawing boards to make a seriously nice knife. Despite the original Bear Grylls knife being the best selling knife in the world, it had its fair share of critics who bashed the blade for its sub-par steel, blade serrations, and that it was not a true full tang blade. Gerber and Bear took that criticism as fuel for the fire. The new Bear Grylls Ultimate Pro has awesome steel, using 9cr19Mov which is a Chinese version of 440C. This steel is strong, non corrosive and will hone and retain a razor sharp edge. Very high quality. The next item that they addressed was the tang. The PRO has a fully exposed tang down to the pummel and has slab handles. The knife blade actually reminds me of of the SOG Seal Team Elite.. Lastly the improved on the lanyard whistle as they made it loader and easier to use.

Spyderco Resilience

Image
Spyderco Resilience If you are a Spyderco fan then this is one model you want to make sure you add to your collection. The superbly crafted folding knife is big on detail and not so big on price.

This is also a great coll

Spetsnaz ballistic knives for sale – the best proposition among the existing models of spetsnaz knife

Image
Among spetsnaz ballistic knives for sale, there are some really good propositions, which you can add to your collection. Knife Machete “Taiga” is the first-born knife of the Russian design spetsnaz ballistic knives for sale . The idea to create such a thing came to him after he was worn out in the mountains, taking back the so-called “aviation survival kit” that includes a machete knife and a folding knife. Specificity of “Taiga” is in a differentiated blade sharpening. One of the blades was designed for digging, the other is for ground for cutting wood (“Taiga” excellent digs and cuts), the third part of the function of Cutters (so the pilot could quickly get rid of the parachute), the fourth is for cutting through the thickets, the fifth is a saw and cutting. In addition, the “Taiga” (spetsnaz knife) provides a solid NAE (portable emergency), placed inside the handle (awl, matches, fish hooks, needles, thread, and other things necessary for survival). Spetsnaz we

What is the difference between a Bowie blade and a clip point?

Image
The words “Bowie” and “clip point” often seem to be used interchangeably. Has this confused any of you? Have you wondered if they actually mean the same thing? I felt like I understood these words for the most part, but I couldn’t really articulate the difference between them. So, I did some digging, and here’s what I found out from my research: When used correctly, “clip point” refers only to blade shape. A clip point can be found on different types of knives, fixed and folding alike.  “Bowie,” however, does not refer solely to the blade shape—although most Bowies have a clip point—but to a specific overall knife style. Also, Bowies are typically fixed. Does that make sense? So, a Bowie blade usually has a clip point, but not all clip points are Bowies. Here are some pictures to help you out. Buck 110 (Clip point) This knife has a clip point blade, but you can tell by looking at it that it does not have the traditional Bowie style to it, nor is it a fixed blade

Brous Blades

Image
The majority of the Bowie blades on this blog have been pretty traditional-looking, in my opinion. So, it’s time to change things up a bit with Brous Blades . Jason Brous, the face behind Brous Blades, started his knife-making journey with 10 years of CNC machining experience behind him, which is probably one of the reasons his knives are so solid. Jason also has an interest in “bio-mechanical” art, which shines through in his uniquely designed knives. Take a look at one of his series—the Stryker with a Bowie blade. It is available with a satin, black, or acid washed blade. Jason tries to keep his knives focused on functional simplicity. As you can see though, that doesn’t mean his knives are boring; quite the opposite is true. Another thing I like about Jason is that he doesn’t make anything he doesn’t like. He does get feedback from customers and responds to it to give people what they like, but ultimately he doesn’t put anything out there that he wouldn’t want

Scout's firing knife NRS-2

Image
In the 1970s the Soviet Ministry of Defense and the State Security Committee initiated the development of a special knife fitted with a firearm. Thus the task consisted in turning a scout knife into a combined-effect weapon. This increased the number of silent and flashless arms in scout units. NRS 2 Knife       A knife version with a firearm, chambered for the 7.62 mm SP-3 special cartridge, was developed by a designer team under the supervision of R. D. Khlynin in Tula.      Externally, the 6P25 NRS special scout knife, fielded with the Soviet Armed Forces, resembles the conventional 6P25U NR knife. The knife is used as cold steel to kill the enemy. It is also a working too! — its blade with sesquialter sharpening and a saw on the back edge can cut ropes, cords, demolition cords, saw solid wooden or steel rods, be used as a screwdriver, etc. The insulated scabbard is fitted with a device for cutting wire with a diameter of up to 2.5 mm, telep
