One of the bonuses working with Going Gear again comes in the fact that they are knife nuts.  See their newest video for more proof of that.  What’s better for me is that they’ve sent me a cool knife to handle, too.  This is the (long name warning) Southern Grind Spider Monkey.  It’s part of the GLOW series, and the blade is black PVD.  The scales are Carbon Fiber.  And they glow!  Just a lot going on in this knife… read on for more – but mostly carry on because there are a bunch of photos!!

I’m a flashlight guy, no secret, but any time I have a light on my person, I also have a knife.  But I’m not a typical knife guy – I strongly prefer really small knives.  It’s a never ending quest.  I saw this little guy and knew I had to have it.  This Nite Ize DoohicKey knife isn’t the perfect knife for me, but it’s the one that I’ve carried for months now.

Today I have in my hands a … knife… from Nitecore.  It’s an unusual device, so calling it a knife might be a bit of a misnomer, because it’s most usual use case will likely not be … knifing.  What it essentially is, is a titanium scalpel handle.  Read on for more photos and a few thoughts!

Phil from the Kickstarter program for the Backnife sent me a message that he’d like to send one of his products out for a look.  I have been interested in ceramic knives for a while, so I said sure!  A ceramic box cutter, neat!

When I saw this one I immediately wanted one.  I love cleavers, I love carbon fiber, and the overall design of this one just drew me in.  GearBest sent one over – this is the Ganzo F7551-CF!

This one just showed up from GearBest one day.  I am not a fan of Tanto style blades, but I’ll still put down some thoughts about the knife.  I do like a small knife, though!  

An aliexpress store recently got in touch regarding some Sanrenmu knives.  I typically like these knives (I’ve reviewed a few.)  So I said sure!  And that leads us to today, with the fixed blade S611-4.  In orange!!

The last of a bunch of items I received from CountyComm.com is this little Boker knife.  I wasn’t expecting them to send this, but I’m pleased they did!  I haven’t reviewed a knife in a while so unlike the knife I’m a bit rusty.  And I’ll try to make that the last #dadjoke….

A while back I received a bunch of knives from GearBest for review.  I’ve carried them and am finally getting to this review.  I’ve been delaying because quite frankly I don’t love all of them.  In any case, here are my thoughts (and photos!)

I’ve been asking GearBest for a fixed blade knife for a while (they have one I’d really love to see!) – they sent this survival knife.  This is a big knife, and has a lot of accessories in the case.  Read on for some thoughts and photos!

Recently I received a bunch of knives from GearBest.  When going through them, I saw this one and thought “oh, that one’s going to be junky.”  Well, once I started actually using it, I can say that was extremely pleasantly surprised, and it’s my favorite of the bunch so far!!  Read on for thoughts, and photos.

I’ve had great experiences with Sanrenmu, so I look forward to getting new models.  GearBest obliged with this request – a ‘big brother’ to a model I reviewed (and loved) recently. This is the Sanrenmu Land 9103.

Another Ganzo, another flipper! This is a friend-favorite, let’s see how it works out when I test it!

Another Ganzo knife! This time a larger model with 440C steel, and an Axis style lock. Read on for thoughts and photos!

I only just got “into” flippers and when I saw this knife, and I knew I had to have it. Small knives are my jam.

This is the FURA “Bean clone” flipper.

My first flipper! A nice G10 scale AUS-8 flipper! I have really enjoyed this one.

Another inexpensive Sanrenmu, and another Sanrenmu that I really like. A trend I can get behind.

One more carbon fiber scale knife! And with an axis lock!! I couldn’t wait to get my hands on this one. Read on for more!

Another orange knife for my collection! This time a larger knife, click on through for some more photos!
