Ivan Loomis – Practical to Tactical Holiday Gifts
Updated: November 25, 2018My Christmas wish list this year isn’t anything too crazy and are things that I’d actually use.
Clay Martin – All I want for Christmas is a Ruger RPR in 338 Lapua and More…

Strike First, Strike Hard with the Attleboro Berlin Strike Folding Knife

Top Five Folding Knives
Updated: August 29, 2017We’re gun people, but if we gun people are anything, we’re also knife people. And if there’s any tool that virtually every one of us is carrying, it’s a folding knife.
