Some knives slice, some pierce, and some, like the Kizer Dogfish, strike fast and hold on tight. Named after the dogfish shark, a member of the Squalidae family, this blade takes after its namesake—a small but aggressive predator known for its tenacity and sharp bite. Dogfish sharks might not be the biggest hunters in the ocean, but they make up for it with persistence, adaptability, and a set of teeth that mean business.

Damned Designs patterns are quite iconic in the industry. Even though many of their designs share similarities, it's not unlike other makers such as Todd Begg or Ken Onion. Every knife designer has their own style and flair, making their work instantly recognizable, and the Invictus is no different.

The name Invictus comes from Latin, meaning unconquerable or invincible. However, it's most notably associated with the poem by William Ernest Henley, not Hemingway (common mix-up). The poem’s theme centers on resilience and inner strength, making Invictus a fitting name for a knife you can carry anywhere, confident that it will handle whatever life throws at it.

Jens Anso is a name that carries weight in the knife world. His designs are known for their clean lines, modern aesthetics, and an emphasis on ergonomics. If you've handled his work before, you know he blends function and form in a way that just makes sense. Anso has collaborated with some big names like Zero Tolerance, Böker, and now Kizer, bringing his unique touch to production knives.

DiamondBlade Knives has always been about pushing the limits of what’s possible with steel. Their Friction Forged process takes traditional tool steel and transforms it into something exceptional—offering incredible hardness at the edge while maintaining flexibility at the spine. The result? Knives that stay sharper for longer while resisting breakage.

The Fury Automatic carries that same cutting-edge (pun intended) technology in a compact, pocket-friendly form. It’s lightweight, snappy, and built for real-world use. Let’s take a closer look.

A good sharpener isn’t just about getting a razor edge—it’s about consistency, ease of use, and convenience. Work Sharp has built a reputation for making some of the most user-friendly sharpening tools around, and the Guided Field Sharpener is no exception. Whether you’re new to sharpening or a seasoned pro, this little tool delivers results without the guesswork.

 

Automatic knives are something that we, as Americans, can take for granted. Plenty of countries—and even some states within the U.S.—outright ban them. Heck, there was a time when even assisted-opening knives lived in a legal gray area. Thanks to organizations like Knife Rights and AKTI, we've seen laws shift, letting us enjoy certain knives without worrying about getting a slap on the wrist.
