Rick Hinderer’s knives are widely considered some of the toughest in the industry by those that actually carry knives daily. American-made, hand-finished, and overbuilt, Hinderer Knives like the XM-18 are indicative of quality that can only truly be understood by those that have actually handled these models.
Speaking of the XM-18, it is generally seen as the brand’s flagship...
While American-made knives often exhibit quality higher than their imported counterparts, it behooves you as a shopper to understand what you’re getting so you don’t buy blindly, as some do.
So, whether you have your eye on an LT Wright or a White River Knife, here are a few things for you to understand better before you make a several-hundred dollar investment.
Steel...
It’s no secret that American-made knives like LT Wright and White River Knives command a premium.
However, is the premium always worth it? In this market, it’s a question about cost that gets asked quite frequently.
The short answer is yes, and in the knife industry as in so many others, more often than not you get what you pay for.
That being said, a short...
Benchmade Knives are, as the company says in its own words, “Yours, for life.” If anything goes wrong with your knife, they will take it back, assess what needs to be repaired or replaced, address the issue, and then send it back to you.
Benchmade’s is one of the best warranties in the industry, bar none, and ranges alongside other great warranties like those offered by ESEE...
As with many other Spyderco knives, one of the best things about the Spyderco Paramilitary 2 is that it is available in many different variants. Following, it is also available in many different steel alloys. Here are some of the more common among them.
MagnaCut: MagnaCut is one of the best super steels on the market, bar none. There are tougher alloys, like 3V, and there are harder alloys,...
Some of the more popular Pro-Tech Knives models are the TR-3, TR-4, and Godson. Another is the Malibu. Let’s take a closer look at what makes this model such a fan favorite.
The Blade Profile
The blade profile alone makes the Malibu from Pro-Tech Knives a winner. This model sports either a wharncliffe or a reverse tanto blade, both of which are functionally very...
Designed by the great Andrew Demko and, in the case of folders, sporting some of the strongest knife locks ever designed (such as the Shark Lock and Tri-Ad Lock) Demko Knives exhibit some of the highest quality in the industry. Here are just a few of the more popular models from the Demko lineup.
Demko FreeReign (Drop Point, Blue Polymer, AUS10A)
While many of the most popular Demko...
Let’s not reduce Benchmade Knives to one feature. There are many things that make many of their models, like the Bugout, Griptilian, and Osborne so popular.
But, one of the main reasons these are great knives is the lock featured on so many of them: it’s Benchmade’s AXIS Lock, which has proven itself so practical that it has been endlessly duplicated by other knife...
There are many things that make Chris Reeve Knives premium models. They are, without the slightest hint of exaggeration, some of the highest quality knives on the market today, regardless of the metric you use to define them.
They offer CNC-precision that delivers rock-solid lock up and glassy-smooth actions, and boast construction from high-end materials. On that latter note, popular Chris...
Throwing knives constitute a distinct category of knives that, as the name suggests, are intended to be thrown at, and stick in, a target. There is more than one discipline associated with how the knife should be thrown; some knife throwers throw knives so that they rotate, others throw them point-on, but regardless, success with throwing knives starts with the tool itself.
Here are 3...
American-made knives may be, in general, a little more expensive than some imports, but at the same time they are renowned for steel quality and consistent, general, quality control, and fit and finish, especially if you stick with established brands and do your research before you purchase.
On that very note, here’s a good place to start: here are 5 great American-made knives,...
The Spyderco Paramilitary 2 wasn’t just born out of pure inspiration. It stands behind a long series of revisions and refinements that have yielded its current form and which are cumulatively responsible for the wide popularity it enjoys today.
That being the case, what we know and love now as the Spyderco Paramilitary 2 actually started way back in 1996 as the Spyderco Military....
Many Kershaw knives are made with low-maintenance handle scale materials and relatively rust-resistant blade steel alloys, but that doesn’t mean you can neglect routine knife care. This short post will tell you most of what you need to know.
Cleaning and Oiling
Cleaning and oiling are the most straightforward aspects of maintenance for most Kershaw knives and, all things...
Folding knives offer discretion and convenience, and some modern folders are made with locks that will stand strong under hundreds of pounds of pressure, challenging preexisting notions that folders are “pre-broken”.
All the same, if you carry a folding knife daily, you should know how to properly care for it, as well as what not to do with it. This post is your primer if...
Demko Knives are best known for folders, and Andrew Demko himself has been instrumental in developing some of the strongest knife locks of all time, such as the Shark Lock and Tri-Ad Lock, the latter which is featured in select Cold Steel Knives.
But not all Demko Knives are folders, and if you are looking for a fixed blade EDC knife on the smaller size, Demko makes a keychain knife...
Let’s not mince words here. Some folding knife locks are better than others. And even if you can’t accept that premise, some folding knife locks are stronger than others.
One of the best of them all, and certainly one of the strongest, is Spyderco’s Compression lock, which was developed by Sal Glesser and which is prominently featured in some of the brand’s top...
Chris Reeve Knives like the Sebenza, one of the brand’s more popular models, are made to an impeccably high standard of quality. That being said, proper knife maintenance is key to protecting your investment in your tools. So, with no further ado, here’s how to clean your Sebenza, from a high level.
Remove the Pivot Pin and Screw
Proper cleaning of your Sebenza starts with...
It would hardly be an exaggeration to say that there are many popular Benchmade Knives. Models like the Osborne 940, Griptilian and Mini Griptilian are all frequent fliers on “best of” lists. But there is one that continuously rises to the top: the Bugout, which was so popular it spawned the Mini Bugout.
But why is this Benchmade Knife such a beloved entry in the brand...
Spyderco knives are popular for many reasons. To reduce the list of why to two would be insulting, so that is not our purpose.
Rather, we just want to shed some light on two of the features common on Spyderco knives (one of which is universal in their folders) that have contributed to their incredible popularity. So let’s get into it.
Spyderholes (“Spydieholes”)...
Some knives are legendary. Models like the Buck Model 110 Folding Hunter and Swiss Army Knife Classic SD are so renowned they’re instantly recognizable just by their profiles.
Another such knife is the Spyderco Paramilitary 2. But why is it that this model is so enduring, even from a brand that itself commands a great deal of respect in its industry?
Let’s take a closer...
Hinderer Knives are renowned in the industry for robust, overbuilt construction and the use of bombproof materials, and perhaps no Hinderer knife is as well-known for this as the XM-18, which is effectively the flagship for the brand.
While the XM-18 was not Rick Hinderer’s first design, it is one of his most influential and most recognizable, and one of the first of his that...
