Hello, all. As you’ve noticed, the reviews have slowed down over the past month. I figured I’d take a few minutes this Labor Day to address this issue.
Review: WE Knives 704 Knife
I’ll be honest – I have a thing for sword-like knives. It’s probably a consequence of playing so many video games as a kid. And apparently, the folks at WE Knives are wise to my weakness. They recently sent over one of their 704 models for review, a gorgeous knife featuring great materials. Here’s what I came up with over the course of its stay.
Review: Stedemon ZKC-C03 SHY IV Knife
We’ve seen it countless times – A high-end knife becomes a market hit, prompting the maker to release a budget-minded version cast from more affordable materials. Companies such as Spyderco and Kizer have made a mint with this practice, while generally maintaining an acceptable level of quality. So when Stedemon offered to send me a budget rendition of their popular SHY tantos, I eagerly assented.
Review: Steel Will Cutjack Knife
The Steel Will Cutjack is a great knife, and you should probably buy one. Until next time…
What? You want specifics? Well, I suppose, seeing as how I’ve spent several weeks with this little guy. It’s been on construction sites, car rides, and even camping in the mountains. Read on to find why, despite its rather pedestrian appearance, the Cutjack has become one of my new favorites.
Review: Timex Expedition Scout Chrono Watch
I’ve always enjoyed the concept of time. As a child, my favorite video game was Chrono Trigger, the story of a boy roaming the past, present, and future on a quest to save the world. It was a touching tale, and one that helped me learn the importance of all things temporal.
So, when Timex offered to send me one of their Expedition Scout Chronographs, they inadvertently helped recapture a spark of my childhood.
Review: Zero Tolerance 0450 Knife
You know the expression, “Never meet your heroes?” It’s the idea that, no matter how great something or someone may be in person, they’ll never measure up to the image you’ve created in your mind. Well, I’ve decided to go against this axiom. The folks at Zero Tolerance recently offered to send over one of their 0450 models, which has been my most coveted knife for a long while. I mean, just look at it! How was I supposed to refuse?
