Target and Survival Equipment

Ok, here’s a quick note on Target. I go to Target and check out their 1.00 aisle for survival stuff. I’ve found emergency blankets, cold compresses, first aid kits, burn kits, bug bite kits, and some great zippered bags that look like a small shaving kit bag. I’ve even found compasses with whistles there. But the reason this gets posted on a knife site is because I found some 1.00 knock-off swiss army knives. True, they aren’t the greatest knives around, HOWEVER… They would make great trade in a “The Zombies Are Coming!!” scenario and if you build a boat “Bug Out Altoids Tin” they are great to stick in there. Here’s a pic of the knife and the bag. Not Bad For A Buck!!

Charlie Crews and the Ka-Bar Mule

I was watching my favorite TV show (LIFE) last night and there was a stabbing on the show.  The murder weapon turned out to be a Desert Tan Folding Ka Bar Mule with a Tanto style blade.  I recently linked to a page on Squidoo from one of my other lenses about this very knife.  You can find all the info on the Ka-Bar Mule Folding Knife here.

Gerber LMF II gets an award.

Where have I been?

Well, the holidays are over and my stress levels have about returned to normal.  My 5 year old got tons of toys for Christmas which he hasn’t touched since. Sigh…  So now I’m back to my blog.  I haven’t really been away, I’ve been doing some research on several different knives that I’ll be posting soon.

What I’m really looking for are problems with knives that I can dig into and get to the bottom of.  Such as, the Cold Steel Recon Tanto knife that I’m working on now.  There’s a question as to what steel it’s made of and why it changed.  If you have any questions about knives you’re looking at buying please let me know and I’ll try to find an answer.

The Spyderco Knife Charlie Crews from NBC’s TV Show “Life” Uses

I was looking around some knife forums and found myself hooked on finding out which knife Charlie Crews uses. I watch this show every week and knew he used a Spyderco but didn’t know which one.  Well the general consensus is that he uses a Spyderco Knives - Police, Stainless Steel Handle, ComboEdge knife.  I’ve been looking for a good folding knife so if anyone uses this knife let me know what you think of it.  Now if I just had as much money as Charlie does…

Just a quick note, I’ve had a hard time finding this knife anywhere in stock. The above link only has 2 in stock so you better hurry if this is the knife you want. I’ll keep looking for more of them.

Foliage Green Gerber LMF II ASEK knife Now BACK IN Stock!

Ok, here we go again, if you didn’t get it last time don’t wait too long.  They got a limited number in again.  Last time they were sold out in about 10 days.

I just received an email from one of the companies I deal with and they said they got an early shipment of the Gerber ASEK knives that had previously been out of stock.  If you’ve been looking for this knife and having trouble finding the correct one you can follow this link Foliage Green Gerber ASEK LMF II. But I wouldn’t wait long, in the email they said they didn’t get very many of them. Happy Knife Hunting!
