Gerber just sent me a cut sheet on the new Gerber Versafix machete, and in the surface it looks quite interesting indeed. Will it hold up? Only time will tell, but it looks like it has just about all the things you want in a machete.

Just a heads up for anyone in the US looking for a great deal on SOG products. They are offering 20% off on certain models on their website right now.

In a world where it can sometimes be difficult to carry a multitool, many of the manufacturers have struggled to come up with designs for TSA friendly type tools.  The latest from Gerber is called the Mullet- will it live up to the "business up front, party in the back" mentality that has driven the haistyle it's named after?  I'm not sure the mullet hairstyle sets the bar that high, so, yeah, it probably will.

It’s 2019, and somehow that arbitrary change from 2018 is supposed to make a difference in people’s lives. If you are one of those people that have successfully made a positive change in our life, then all power to you.  For the rest of us, change is inevitible, like it or not!

Some time ago I was contacted by a multitool manufacturer in Italy that was looking for better coverage in North America. They were a company called Steel Life and they had just released a new flagship tool they called the AXEM 4.0.
