Knife Reviews
Knife Review: Fiddleback Forge Bushfinger
StandardThanks to Fiddleback Forge owner Andy Roy, I had the chance to review his signature knife, the Bushfinger. This version is part of his new Production Series of knives and although the knife is impressive, it isn’t quite perfect. Find out why in the full review, which is now online.
Knife Review: Benchmade 665 APB
StandardI wanted to like this knife. In fact, I was very eager to try it out after getting to handle it at BLADE Show 2015. Sadly, it has a fatal flaw. Read my full review at The Truth About Knives to find out.
Knife Review: Great Eastern Cutlery #73 Scout
StandardThe beautiful Great Eastern Cutlery knife that you see here was given to me for review by KnivesShipFree.com owner Derrick Bohn. It was a privilege to review it and the quality of the knife is impressive. Hands down, it is the best traditional pocket knife I have had the pleasure of using. Thank you Derrick for the knife!

Knife Review: L.T. Wright Knives Rogue River
StandardI’ve had the pleasure of putting another fine LTWK product through the wringer lately, the Rogue River. The review is now online at TTAK.
I loved this knife. It is wonderfully versatile, a workhorse in the kitchen, and a thoroughbred at camp!
I took a ton of photos, way more than I needed. Check out a photo gallery of some shots that didn’t make it into the review after the jump. Continue reading
Knife Review: ESEE Izula-II
StandardI have owned the tiny, mighty ESEE Izula-II for almost a year now. It made a great complement to a larger fixed blade on a camping trip to West Virginia last fall. I liked it less as an EDC proposition, but as a blade for outdoor pursuits it is superlative. My full review of the knife is now online at TTAK and I think the photos turned out especially well. Read it here.
Knife Review: L.T. Wright Knives GNS
StandardBig review of mine went live today on the L.T. Wright GNS bushcraft knife.
Back in November I met L.T. at a local show and he agreed to send me this knife. This is the first knife sent to me by a maker for review, and I can’t thank him enough.
The GNS is a fantastic piece of kit for campers, hikers, and especially practicing bushcraft folks. Read the full review on The Truth About Knives.
Review: Allen Putman G10 Scales for Bencmhade Griptilian and Mini-Griptilian
StandardI’ve been carrying a Benchmade Mini-Griptilian for years. I’m especially a fan of the Doug Ritter versions. They are solid knives, and Benchmade’s Axis Lock is a joy to use. Recently I got the urge to upgrade the stock plastic handles to these G10 beauties by Allen Putman Blade Scales. They are a bit pricey, but worth it, especially for the full-size knives.
