Roxon Flex Companion Review: A Pocket Powerhouse for Customization and Everyday Carry
Roxon has always been a brand with an eye for innovation, and with the Flex series, they’ve accomplished something truly groundbreaking—the modular multitool. For decades, DIY enthusiasts and tool hobbyists have dreamt of a multitool that could be customized to fit their specific needs, rather than just accepting a fixed set of tools where some might be redundant or unnecessary. With the Flex, Roxon created an adaptable system that quickly won fans in the multitool community. Now, they’ve refined and reimagined that concept with the Flex Companion, a compact, customizable multitool designed for users who don’t need pliers every day but still want a reliable toolkit in their pocket.
Leatherman has announced some new colors to the Skeletool and KB line
I am all for new colors, some people like to color coordinate, but I prefer innovation.
The Benchmade Intersect is a compact fixed-blade knife that’s tailor-made for the folks who spend more time near water than on dry land. Whether you're reeling in the catch of the day or knee-deep in some murky adventure, this little guy has your back. Benchmade's new Water series got a fair amount of chatter when it dropped—some good, some...well, let's just say people had opinions. The main comparison was to Spyderco’s Salt series, which has been the go-to for wet work with their H1 steel. But instead of diving into that turf war, I’m here to talk about why the Intersect can stand on its own fins.
The Kansept Mistaken, designed by Jonathan Styles from Newfoundland, reflects his passion for nature and functional art. Named after a small bay on the southwest coast of his home island, the Mistaken is meant to be a clean and simple gentleman’s knife, with a focus on function and premium materials. At 7.54 inches overall and with a 3.15-inch blade, it strikes a balance between form and functionality for everyday carry enthusiasts.
Kansept continues to impress with its 2024 lineup, delivering one hit after another through strategic collaborations with top-tier designers. Today, we take a closer look at the Havørn, a knife that generated plenty of buzz during the last Blade Show—and for good reason. Designed by Jonathan Sibley, a master craftsman whose journey through multiple disciplines (from jewelry-making to competing on Forged in Fire) converged into knifemaking, the Havørn is an exemplary blend of artistic vision and functional precision.
Halloween is right around the corner and Gerber is excited to offer this years limited edition "Fastballoween"! The exclusive zombie lasermark on both sides of the handle and the S30V wharncliffe black oxide blade bring home that spooky fall feel. It's also adorned with an orange aluminum backspacer and an intuitive finger flipping opening that uses B.O.S.S Tech™, offering quick smooth deployment - every time.

Roxon is releasing a companion tool to the Flex series. This tool features the same ability to swap out tools and customize it the way you want. The Flex has been a huge success for the company and I feel this will be equally as popular, bringing a Leatherman "T" series kind of feel to it. Here are the tools features according to the site:
Kizer’s Militaw Series: A New Wave of Innovation and Design
Kizer has truly outdone itself with the latest expansion of the Militaw series, combining their hallmark quality and innovation with new, exciting options for knife enthusiasts. From premium models to the more accessible Vanguard offerings and the introduction of a fixed blade and mini versions, there’s something in this lineup for everyone. Whether you're a seasoned collector or just looking for a reliable everyday carry, the Militaw series continues to impress.
The Raider Creek EDC is not just a knife; it’s a testament to clever engineering, embodying simplicity and utility in an elegantly minimal design. With a compact, 3-inch CPM-S35VN drop point blade that fully retracts into a sleek titanium handle, this knife’s standout feature is its sliding bolt mechanism, providing a unique take on a sheathless EDC knife.
Watching Kansept evolve into a leading manufacturer in the knife world has been an exciting journey. They've consistently pushed boundaries, delivering high-quality designs and materials at accessible price points, thanks to their collaborations with talented designers. One such design that garnered attention at Kansept's Blade Show 2024 table was the Echis, a creation of Jonathan Sibley. While it wasn’t the most talked-about knife at the show, it certainly made its mark among enthusiasts.
Since Blade Show '24, the Kansept Link has garnered a lot of attention—and for good reason. This design by 18-year-old Canadian knifemaker Johnathan Shaw blends tactical aesthetics with practical EDC functionality. With its sleek look and standout materials, the Link is not just another pretty knife; it's a real performer. Let’s dive into what makes this knife such a compelling addition to your everyday carry rotation.
The Kansept Tuckamore is a knife I've been eager to get my hands on for a while. Its lines, blade shape, and materials immediately caught my eye, making it a natural addition to my collection. Now that the initial excitement has worn off, I find myself torn on how I feel about this knife. Let’s take a closer look.

When it comes to Kansept, I’m continually impressed by their commitment to quality and attention to detail. It’s not enough to just hire top-tier designers; the execution has to live up to the design’s promise. Fortunately, this small company out of Yangjiang has consistently delivered, and the Cassowary, designed by Justin Koch of Koch Tools, is no exception.
Vosteed has released a larger version of its popular Mink fixed blade. You can check out our original Mink review here:

The Vosteed Parallel
Inspired by the book Parallel Universes and the Deep Laws of the Cosmos, the Ultra-Thin Vosteed Parallel is Yue’s latest Cross Bar Lock design.
The Early Days
Leatherman's story began in the mid-1970s when Tim Leatherman and his wife, Chau, embarked on a road trip across Europe and the Middle East. Faced with frequent car breakdowns and plumbing issues, Tim found himself repeatedly needing a versatile tool to make quick repairs. This inspired him to conceptualize a pocket-sized tool with pliers, a groundbreaking idea at the time.
