Among the highlights of the show -- Kershaw Knives, bearings, Rick Hinderer Knives and the tri-way pivot, mass drop drops, Cold Steel changing steel, Benchmade's quality improvements, OEMs, Spyderco changes their catalog (or their knife release schedule), and more.

Pocket Check

Jim continues to carry his Buck Canoe that he picked in Episode 06 while Bob has several knives (again):

Spyderco Military

Case Mini Trapper

Cold Steel Black Talon

If you have only $30 I would say spend it on this knife. The action is incredible and the ergonomics are right on point.Click To Tweet
