Damascus steel is REALLY pretty in a knife blade. But how does it work in the field? I took a Jesse Hemphill custom blade on a deer hunt, and used it hard. Check out the review.

There’s nothing like a several-hour, hands-on meat cutting session to help you decide if you like a knife or not.

I am leery of celebrity-endorsed products. But the Helle Temagami knife, designed by “Survivorman” Les Stroud, has proven to be a solid performer.

My latest knife collaboration combines an Ambush Tundra blade with a custom walnut handle by Pete Winkler. It is sooo cool.

In many emergency situations, all you’ll have are the tools in your pockets. And a tiny knife is better than no knife at all. A Classic can be an important part of your survival kit.

The new Ambush Tundra, made by Bark River Knives, combines a classic blade design with an ergonomic handle that just won’t quit.

The Zoe Crist Santa Fe is a solid knife with a great design. It is worth considering if you are looking for a do-it-all outdoors knife.

Pete Winkler’s recent win on the History Channel’s “Forged in Fire” just proved what some of us already knew: Winkler, owner of Cross Knives, produces excellent blades.

One size doesn’t fit all when it comes to knives. This Bark River Trakker Companion is an excellent choice for people with small to medium-sized hands.

The Whitetail is worth looking at if you’re doing a lot of whitetail hunting, and it will do just fine on elk or bigger western deer.
