    Best Person to do a Knife review.

    A friend of mine has a shooting range and sell firearms and various equipment. He is wanting to expand into Bushcrafty items. He went to a trade show in Germany and brought a fixed blade knife back/ He asked me if I knew of anyone to review it. Someone the rest of us would take notice of. Any ideas?

They will...
