Cold Steel Ti Lite Review

January 8, 2015 By Mike

Cold Steel Ti Lite

Cold Steel Ti Lite Review The Cold Steel Ti Lite leaves me with mixed emotions. How can a knife totally lacking in common sense features keep me entertained for so many days? It satisfies none of my main criteria for an EDC Knife well, and yet it keeps finding it’s way into my pocket. 4-inch […]

The original Spyderco Endura was released in 1990 and in the decades since it has become the standard bearer for the […]

Busse Combat Battle Mistress Review

September 25, 2014 By Mike

Busse Combat Nuclear Meltdown Fusion Battle Mistress

Busse Combat Battle Mistress Review There is nothing subtle about the Busse Combat Battle Mistress, she is about as subtle as a slap in the face. She is not a Ferrari of a knife like the Benchmade Contego, the Busse Combat Battle Mistress is a lifted diesel pick-up with a loud exhaust! When she is […]
