Badfeather Raider Creek EDC

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.

Kansept Cassowary

Written by

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.

Leatherman: Balancing Innovation and Tradition

Written by

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.

Kizer Drop Bear

Written by

The Kizer Drop Bear is a versatile and high-performance knife, perfect for both everyday carry (EDC) and specialized tasks. Here's an in-depth look at its features, performance, and overall appeal.

b0953db042f608c2fff1415f63a47351

Blade Material and Performance

*S45VN Blade*

For the first time, the Drop Bear incorporates S45VN steel, a premium material known for its increased toughness and exceptional edge retention. S45VN is a knife steel that uses a powder metallurgy process, resulting in fine grain structure and high uniformity. This makes the blade not only durable but also efficient in cutting tasks, ensuring long-lasting sharpness and reliability.

*Excellent Performance*

The Drop Bear's design includes a Thumb Stud and Clutch Lock, enhancing the safety and speed of opening and locking the knife. This classic structure has earned widespread recognition, contributing to the Drop Bear's enduring popularity. The quick deployment and secure locking mechanism make it a dependable tool for various applications.

"Nebula Fatcarbon Scale*

The handle of the Drop Bear is crafted from Fatcarbon material, featuring a striking Nebula pattern. This material is lightweight yet durable, providing a comfortable and stable grip. The unique patriotic color combination and graffiti-like fashion style add a distinct aesthetic appeal to the knife, making it not just a tool but also a stylish accessory.

*Scratch Resistant*

Both the blade and pocket clip are treated with a DLC (Diamond-Like Carbon) coating, giving them a deep black color that's highly resistant to scratches. This is the first instance of Kizer using DLC coating on a product, significantly enhancing both the aesthetics and durability of the Drop Bear. The coating ensures the knife maintains its sleek appearance and robust performance even after extensive use.
