    TRC Knives Splinter 120 m390: My first knife in this steel

    Hey guys, Just wanted to drop a quick review of my TRC Knives Splinter 120 in Bohler m390. I've used 3v and N690 in the past and I'm really impressed with the edge retention on m390. My knife had a full flat grind and I've batoned with it and it's held up really well. Sharpening it can be a...

    Interesting story on the origin of the Becker BK14 EsKabar

    Hey guys, my favorite neck knife is the Becker BK14 aka the EsKabar. What's not to like? 1095 HC, it's affordable good balance to edge retention and easy t sharpen back up. Nice sized blade for a neck knife. The handle is comfortable and heavily skeletonized to save weight. For me, it's a great...

    My first backpacking tent! Vargo stove, fatwood, and hiking action!

    I usually car camp and bring really heavy gear with me, but this summer I decided to venture deeper into the woods and try to see what lies beyond the road. At 5 lbs this tent isn't considered "ultra light" by any means. Next time I'm going to leave the tent pegs and tent footprint at home to...
