One tool that is indispensable for many outdoor tasks is the machete. Machetes are versatile tools that can be used for everything from clearing weeds and underbrush to cutting…
They say go big or go home, and it doesn’t get a whole lot bigger than Cold Steel’s All Terrain Chopper. This is one big mother of a machete, and I knew as soon as I saw it that I would eventually have to get one and test it out.
The idea behind the Gerber Versafix is to provide the advantages of both a camp knife and a machete in one package. At a glance, I’d say they’ve succeeded. Bigger than your average bushcraft knife and smaller than your average machete, the Versafix threads that needle nicely.
I picked up a Tops Machete .230 in the hope that it would be the ultimate slashing and chopping tool. And while I perhaps wouldn’t go quite that far after putting it to the test, I have to say that this really is a premium machete, and one that I’m very impressed with.
It’s small, but not too small, and light, but not too light. The handle is very smooth and fits my hand perfectly, and the stainless steel blade is beautifully shaped and finished, with clean lines and great attention to detail. Overall, the Arrui is a simple but impressive knife right out of the box.
It is clear that A.I. cannot comprehensively review a pocket knife because it lacks the necessary input from real-world experience. Human experts can still offer an informed opinion on such products, as they have had the opportunity to use and assess them in actual practical situations. For example, a human reviewer can provide details about…
The newish knife from SOG, the Terminus XR is up today for review. It’s another ho-hum folding knife to come out recently, and I grabbed it off of Amazon after seeing a few YouTube reviews. It got more favorable reviews than I’m about to give it, but all in all, it’s not too bad for around $50
Kershaw Knives have been around for a while and their catalog boasts a wide assortment of folding knives, fixed-blade knives, camping knives and more. Probably best known for their folding knives, Kershaw offers a lot of knives for not too much money.
The term “machete” comes from the Spanish word for sledgehammer, and while any machete can make it through bushes and branches, heavy-duty machetes have all the wrecking power of this tool due to their unparalleled size, weight, and power. A heavy duty machete differs from a regular machete in that it’s meant to be more…
Condor Tool and Knife made the Bushlore knife to tackle the toughest bushcraft and camping tasks, and, by extension, help you survive in any natural environment. It’s not quite a survival knife, but it’s definitely a robust bushcraft knife that can handle tough camping tasks.
I bought the knife in June of this year (2022) and never got around to writing a review until now, so my opinions have changed. First, don’t waste your money on a $20 knife…ever. Save a few more bucks and get to the $30-$50 range. However, if you were to spend your last $22 on a knife, should it be the Zilch? Maybe, it’s not a total loser considering the entire cheap knife landscape.
A pocket knife is an interesting purchase, in that it’s both seemingly inconsequential and also extremely important. When you need it, it’s extremely important, and in those moments, having a good quality piece is essential. Whether you’re updating your camping or hunting kit, buying it for everyday use, or picking up your child’s first pocket knife, finding the right seller and item is a big deal.
I’ve found this another budget-friendly bushcraft knife. The Elk Ridge Bushcraft ER-555 knife makes it a really solid choice for entry-level bushcraft.
There is no shortage of EDC knives out there, but if you want to buy an awesome knife and you want a Spyderco, start with any one of these below (in no particular order).
So, you have $50 burning a hole in your pocket and you want a new EDC knife? Well, $50 is the new $100, but your cash doesn’t go nearly as far as it used to. However, I was able to find several gems and solid folders that are worth your hard-earned cash.
It’s worth noting upfront that you simply can’t get a perfect knife for $35. You pretty much always have to sacrifice something at that price point. You might end up with a razor-sharp blade that has zero corrosion resistance, or you get a knife with a great blade and a mediocre handle.
I picked up the Trivisa Lynx-03B a few weeks ago while I was trolling Amazon for a deal. My interest was piqued by the pictures alone, the knife looked pretty cool. The Lynx-03B has all the specs one might be looking for in an EDC knife and, at around $65, it’s fairly priced for a S35V
I’ve had the Gerber Principle sitting on the corner of my workbench for almost 7 months now. I opened it up, inspected it, and then just left it in the box sitting there. I’m not sure why I haven’t paid it any attention but every time I went out to the garage there it was,…
