Nov 24, 2010 | Bear Grylls, EDC, Gear, Knives, Survival Gear

As a knife fan, I really look forward seeing and hearing reviews about knives and how they work in the field. I hate to make a mistake when buying a knife. Once you have bought and used it, you own it for life, unless you can unload it on someone for a few dollars…
