As someone who has extensively used the HORL 2, I was curious to see how its successor, the HORL 3 Cruise, would stack up. The HORL 2 set a high standard with its sleek wooden body, premium feel, and interchangeable discs, allowing users to customize their sharpening experience. In contrast, the HORL 3 Cruise takes a different approach—streamlined, affordable, and environmentally conscious.

The GiantMouse ACE Iona V2 takes the beloved design of its predecessor and transforms it into a strong, reliable outdoor companion. Featuring a wider CPM Magnacut blade, a longer ergonomic handle, enhanced spine jimping, and improved lockbar access, this knife excels in both form and function.

DT01 - Ratchet Driver
I recently received these two versions of the upcoming XEN-OAL knife from OKnife and designed by Ken Onion. Anyone familiar with Ken Onion’s designs with Kershaw and Columbia River Knife and Tool should be interested in any new designs with his name on them.
The Benchmade Mini Adamas has always been synonymous with strength and reliability, earning its place among hard-use knives. This review focuses on the upgraded Mini Adamas, featuring CPM-Magnacut steel and stunning marbled carbon fiber handles, while also touching on its history and evolution.
The growing trend of small, pocket-friendly fixed blades is one I’m absolutely thrilled about, and the Kizer Muskrat is another standout addition to this category. As someone who appreciates the practicality of smaller blades for everyday tasks, I can confidently say the Muskrat hits that sweet spot between function and portability.
Knives have been an essential tool for humanity since the dawn of time, evolving from crude, utilitarian implements to objects of artistry and craftsmanship. They are not just tools—they are a reflection of us, infused with purpose and memory. From the rough-hewn tools of early man to intricate, embellished designs forged by skilled hands, knives represent both functionality and beauty. For me, this blend of utility and artistry is what fuels my passion for them.
When it comes to EDC fixed blades, my journey has been eye-opening. Having been a folder guy for decades, I’m now finding these small fixed blades to be versatile in ways I hadn’t fully appreciated. While I’ll likely remain a folder enthusiast, the Kizer Harpoon Mini is one of those knives that’s making me rethink my stance.
The Leatherman Garage Batch #3 "Parts" was a unique, limited-edition multitool that combined creativity with exclusivity. Using repurposed factory components, it introduced an interchangeable blade system in a minimalist design. But with less than a 1,000 units made, it quickly became unobtainable for most fans.

Kansept has been on fire this year, churning out hit after hit with no signs of slowing down. As 2024 wraps up and the holiday season kicks into high gear, there’s no shortage of incredible knives to add to your wish list. Enter the Kansept Thoth, a collaboration with Greg Schob of Sparrow Knife Co., whose passion for knife making shines in every detail. Named after the Egyptian deity of wisdom, the Thoth is a knife that demands attention with its unique design, premium materials, and exceptional functionality.
Knafs is a unique and innovative company that has carved out its niche in the knife industry by doing things differently. Their ability to create practical yet customizable tools has earned them a loyal following. Among their standout models, the Lander 2 is, in my opinion, the most refined of the series. It perfectly balances materials, size, and ease of use, making it an exceptional everyday carry (EDC) option. Let’s dive deeper into what makes the Lander 2 shine.
The Kansept Osprey is a fascinating blend of compact design and bold utility, crafted by 18-year-old Canadian knifemaker Jonathan Shaw. Despite its official designation as a Wharncliffe blade, its pronounced curve and aggressive profile align more closely with the utility and aesthetics of a hawkbill blade. This distinctive shape is what sets the Osprey apart in both form and function.
The TRM Bulldog isn’t just another knife—it’s that scrappy yet polished companion you didn’t know you needed. Compact, hardworking, and undeniably charming, it’s the EDC equivalent of a loyal pup: always ready, never in the way, and packing plenty of bite.
