Spyderco Spydercard Review
[ad#edc-300-left] Many people like EDCing a knife for everyday cutting needs but don't want to be encumbered with a large tactical folding knife. Afterall, a small unobtrusive pocket knife will handle most cutting chores while being less likely to raise eyebrows. As small, unobtrusive folding knives go, few have ever been as carry friendly as Spyderco's Spydercard. Designed by Israeli knifemaker Eduard Bradichansky, the Spydercard could be called the ultimate EDC knife. As the name implies, the Spydercard is made to fit in a credit card slot in a wallet.

Eagle Industries E & E Bag Review: Part 1

Likewise, they included a MOLLE attachment panel on the bag, only it is hidden by a padded, zippered ...

[ad#edc-300-left] There are holster makers and then there is Lou Alessi. Alessi has made his living producing the world’s finest leather holsters for decades.

Lifesaver Bottle Review
No, we aren't talking about bottle modeled after the candy. The Lifesaver bottle was developed by a British company as a water bottle with a built-in filtering system.
