Knife

At first glance, Benchmade’s 945BK-1 Mini Osborne made me a little skeptical as to whether it would be able to stand up to the rigorous work I have put knives through over the years. After weeks of use, however, I have found that it is a fantastic everyday carry knife!

With ever-present threats looming prominently all year, 2020 taught us that preppers aren’t so whacky after all. Take a look at this year’s Top Ten Tactical Christmas list for gift ideas to make yourself and your loved ones more prepared in 2021.

Benchmade does make a great knife. The 496 Vector is no exception. This knife is reliable and dependable each time you reach for it. It is comforting to have something that won’t fail in your pocket in a world full of uncertainty around us.

The best designs are collaborations between highly experienced users and creators, and that’s how the new Bugler Blade was developed. A world-class elk hunter and a fine craftsman have teamed up to make what they consider the ideal hunting knife. The blade is shaped from experience and forged from the finest steel. It’s not a budget blade, but it should be tough enough to hang from your belt as well as your grandson’s.

The name says it all: Gripknife is a vertical grip that affixes to a rifle’s forend and doubles as an “out-the-front” (OTF) knife. Users deploy the edged weapon by pressing a button located on the rear of the mount, and the knife springs forward and locks in the extended position.

The only thing a knife needs to be all the time is sharp, and Sandrin’s TCK 2.0 is always razor-sharp.

I’m not one to rely on a piece of untested equipment on a hunt unless I have a backup for it, therefore I started the fall hunting season with the Havalon Evolve multi-tool and Rebel in my pack, backed up with a couple of other skinning knives I had used previously. I was anxious to see how they held up over the course of several months of hard use, with Alaska’s and Montana’s big game seasons as the trial runs.

Six children and three adults were stabbed Saturday night in what Boise police are calling the highest casualty event in the city’s history. The attack took place during a three-year-old’s birthday party at a low-income apartment complex that mainly houses refugees.
