Knives Illustrated Sep/Oct 2023 - The September/October issue of Knives Illustrated magazine includes a special section on fixed-blade hunting knives. This section includes four feature articles with an emphasis on lightweight, versatile blades suitable for remote backcountry hunts where gear selection is critical. There’s a review of the Benchmade Raghorn by Knives Illustrated editor Steve Barlow, and a test of the Hogue Extrak by regular contributor Tim Stetzer. It’s hard to think of hunting knives without Buck Knives coming to mind. This issue includes a closeup look at the new midsize Buck Brahma that’s sure to become a fan favorite. Author Jim Cobb puts the Hunter from White River Knife & Tool to the test to complete the section. In other features, Cobb presents a profile of popular custom knifemaker Dan Tope. Hilary White provides a look at a company that’s been flying under the radar with her review of the A100 folder from the Czech firm Acta Non Verba. If you’re looking for something in a capable defensive blade, check out Frank Jardim’s review of the Excalibur out-the-front dagger from Templar Knife. If bushcraft is your obsession, you’re sure to enjoy the pair of articles by expert Reuben Bolieu in this issue. First, he puts three models from Knives By Nuge to work. Then, he provides a side-by-side comparison of two great blades by TOPS: the Sheep Creek and the Woodcraft. If you prefer a fixed blade for everyday carry, you’ll want to check out our take on the Spyderco Enuff 2. Rounding out the issue is a story on two knives – a fixed blade and a folder – from Smith & Sons.

Knives Illustrated Jul-Aug 2023 - What’s in your pocket? In the July/August issue of Knives Illustrated, we have put together a special section on EDC folders, highlighting a few of our favorite new blades from several manufacturers. Looking for something, small and light, yet still capable? Check out Hilary White’s review of the Spyderco SpyOpera. Editor Steve Barlow looks at the Bamboozled assisted opener from Columbia River Knife & Tool, the first production knife from Ken Onion’s son, Kenny Onion. His review also includes a sneak peek at the CRKT LCBK, a USA-made folder made in collaboration with Hogue Knives. Think W.R. Case & Sons Cutlery can only make slip-joint folders? Think again. Check out our review of the new Case Westline, a sturdy and thoroughly modern assisted-opener with liner lock. GiantMouse continues to turn out top-notch EDC folder in its ACE line. We provide our take on four of the company’s newest models, including the Clyde Denim, Jutland, Atelier, and Sonoma V2. Regular Contributor Jim Cobb shows us why the new Savvy is a big step in the right direction for Gerber. In other features, Reuben Bolieu puts the King Kukri from Condor Tool & Knife through some real-world challenges and finds it is indeed a king-sized blade for king-sized work. Have you ever considered a friction folder? Bolieu gives us a close-up look at the potential of the ESEE Pinhoti. Do you prefer a fixed blade or a folder? Tim Stetzer looks at one of each from the SOG Tellus line. Stetzer also provides his insights into the Zero Tolerance Model 0006, a fixed blade suitable for survival or combat. Buck Knives has totally redesigned its Alpha fixed blades with the Alpha Hunter and Alpha Scout models. See how these knives perform. And if you’re new to the knife world, we offer a primer on different types of handle materials to help you to make an informed choice on your next purchase.

Knives Illustrated March/April 2023 - The March/April 2023 issue of Knives Illustrated features a special section focusing on knives for the camp kitchen. In this section, you’ll find articles on knives you wouldn’t ordinarily think of for food prep at home, including the Emerson Folding Steak Knife and the three Camp Plus folding knives from the Ontario Knife Company. The section will also include articles from bushcraft expert Reuben Bolieu on the PB&J Knives Cleaver and tips on how to craft basic cooking rigs using the resources you find in the woods. In other features, regular contributor Jim Cobb reviews the RMJ Tactical Sparrow and Smith & Sons Comanche fixed blades. Do you need something even more heavy duty? Editor Steve Barlow puts a couple of Hults Bruk hatchets to the test. In Part 1 of our two-part feature on knife defense, martial arts expert Patrick Vuong provides his suggestions on defense against a knife-wielding attacker when you are unarmed. This issue will feature a review of the DEMO folder collaboration between RYP Design and William Harsey that pays tribute to CIA legend Billy Waugh. Take a look at the best of knife artistry in our review of the book, “Of Knives and Men.” Because our readers carry more than just knives on a daily basis, this issue debuts a new regular column, An Eye on EDC, to showcase the latest in everyday carry gear.  

EDC FIXED BLADES - Small fixed blades are easy to carry, and quick and easy to
access. Mount one on a belt or pack strap, wear it around your neck, or simply tuck 1it into your pocket. These knives are handy helpers that require little maintenance.

TACTICAL - With the proper training, a knife can be a lifesaver in a deadly encounter. It must be concealable, easy and quick to deploy, and able to deliver effective strikes to end an attack or buy you time to retreat. It needs to be sturdy, not a flashy showpiece.
