A folding knife in your pocket is a cornerstone piece of preparedness for many folks’ outdoor adventures. It’s one of a handful of necessities no one should be without. But as your time spent outdoors increases, the more likely you’ll be to find value in a fixed-blade knife. The simple fact is that, by design, a good fixed blade will outwork any pocket folding knife. In my opinion, the progression from pocket to fixed among the serious outdoors crowd is unavoidable. In the summer of 2024, Dauntless Manufacturing sent me a long-term loaner of its Hiker fixed-blade knife. That version…

Terrain 365 is making knife history with their latest release. We’ve had knives named after all sorts of animals, but their newest piece is the first production blade (to our knowledge) named after the strange and beautiful narwhal. This Narwhal, the knife, is not strange-looking at all, but sleek, almost classical in appearance. “I wanted to design a full-sized folder that was inspired by the simplicity and ergonomic balance of a capsule shape,” writes Patrick Ma, Terrain 365’s co-founder and Creative Director. To make the blade part of that vision, Ma chose to draw it as a symmetrical, medium-width spear…

The Birdlime 1R 9.8 climbing rope follows a host of products that Edelrid has released to be more sustainable. From using bio-based and renewable raw materials to eliminating PFC/PCAs to reusing and recycling materials in production, Edelrid has made considerable efforts to improve climbing gear sustainability since 2019.

There are three major steps of heat treating performed by a custom knifemaker or a factory, and an optional fourth: Austenitizing – heating the steel up hot and soaking Quenching – Rapidly cooling the steel Tempering – reheating the steel to a lower temperature such as 400°F (200°C) for 1-2 hours. This is typically performed 2-3 times (cooled to room temperature in between). Cryogenic or cold processing is an optional step that can be performed after the quench or in between tempering steps. It involves cooling the steel to as low a temperature as possible. Fundamentally these steps can be…

More than 1,500 miles from home, I opened my truck’s tailgate and pulled out the two-burner stove. As I started cooking dinner, waves crashed loudly on the rocky shore, a stone’s throw away. It was 4:30 p.m. Moments earlier, I’d peeled off my wetsuit and booties, and the sun was setting along Mexico’s northern Baja California Peninsula. A couple of friends and I had caravanned south to camp, explore, and surf along the region’s remote, raw Pacific coastline. We’d overlanded an hour or so from the closest two-lane highway — a string of potholes followed by rocky, rough, sandy, and…
