Kansept REI

Written by

Greg Wegrzycki, better known as Karambitmaker in the knife community, is a long-time martial arts practitioner, knife collector, and maker. While his passion primarily lies in crafting karambits and curved blade knives, he occasionally ventures into more utilitarian projects. The Kansept Rei is one such endeavor, inspired by the tactical folders from the early 90s. This review dives into its design, functionality, and overall performance.

KosiM Sharpener

KosiM Sharpener Review: Precision and Passion from Ukraine

On my sharpening journey, I've reviewed quite a few different sharpeners. One thing is abundantly clear: Ukraine is a hub for some amazing knife and tool companies. One of these companies that has grabbed my attention is KosiM.

**The Origins of KosiM**

The company started its journey in 2013 while founders Marina and Kostya were still working regular jobs. The young family unknowingly opened a new chapter in their future, although they didn't realize it at the time. They began by purchasing goods from China and experimenting with buying and selling. They named their website KosiM (a blend of their names, Kostya and Marina).

Today, KosiM boasts nearly a complete self-sustaining production cycle for sharpening systems and stones, with plans for further development. They are seeking distributors abroad to overcome language barriers and expedite delivery times for the convenience of their customers.

The Multitool Mindset


The Multitool Mindset

Messenger creation 339ed4de 76bf 4b49 9ccf e11909bb9f6e

Multitools amaze me.  It’s not the details of any given tool that amaze me but the main idea behind all of them: response.  We are the kind of guys who do something about something we can do something about.  That’s the Multitool Mindset.

Guava is the new black?

Written by

So it seems that the new color for the Leatherman Signal is Guava. I'm cool with giving people new color options, it allows people to personalize a tool, maybe even match it with an outfit. But, I'm used to multitools being stainless it black oxide. Maybe I'm old school, but I would much rather have a tool I'm not afraid to use hard. One I'm not afraid of chipping the paint on. Leatherman has changed some in recent years, trimming it's lineup and offering customized options instead. It's an interesting time for sure. If this is your thing, grab yourself a new Signal in guava.

KnifeYouLike Sharpening System

Written by

Since reviewing sharpeners, I get ads for all kinds of systems and occasionally see something new. I recently came across a company from Lithuania called KnifeYouLike. The company has been in the business for a while; before getting into retail, they were engaged in the sale, repair, and sharpening of knives. They transitioned from one business model to another to give customers the opportunity to take care of their knives themselves. Although they offered ceramic rods, many users struggled to achieve good results with them, so that's when they introduced the concept of angle guides.

Vosteed Mini PsyOp

Written by

A psychological operation (PSYOP) is a military strategy that uses targeted messaging to influence the emotions, motives, and behavior of a target audience. This can include enemy forces, neutral populations, or even allied groups. PSYOP campaigns can employ a variety of tactics, such as spreading disinformation, using propaganda, or broadcasting messages of persuasion. The ultimate goal of a PSYOP campaign is to achieve a military objective without the use of direct force. What does all that have to do with pocketknives? The PsyOp is a new design from Geoff Blauvelt in collaboration with Vosteed knives.

Geoff, from Schwenksville, Pennsylvania, has a rich background in fine arts, which he skillfully integrates into his knife designs. In 2011, he founded Tuffknives on YouTube, beginning as a knife reviewer and later transitioning into knife modding. His journey in knifemaking took a significant turn when he met John Gray, who mentored him in the craft and helped him start his own company. This company now produces and sells custom folders, leveraging the following Blauvelt had built from his YouTube days and his extensive experience modding production knives. He is known for his preference for a hands-on approach to knifemaking, using minimal machinery to maintain a more handmade, open style in his creations.

Kizer Sparrow

Written by

Vincent Rizzo's Sparrow, brought to us by Kizer Cutlery, exemplifies a blend of functional elegance and robust craftsmanship. Rizzo's design philosophy shines through in every detail of this knife.

The specs for the Sparrow include an overall length of 7.6 inches, a 3.27-inch blade, and a handle length of 4.33 inches. The handles are made from contoured titanium, which is very ergonomic. Its subtle beveling and large finger groove provide a snug, comfortable grip that fits perfectly in hand. The titanium handle not only offers durability but also adds a touch of sophistication with its sandblasted, frosted finish.
