We Knife Co. is preparing to welcome yet another new collaborator this year with the soon-to-be-released Inmate model from Jerad Neeve.

In my defense, it’s hard to purge our stash of tents, with some feeling like part of the family, like my parents’ old center-pole Kelty, and the four-season Sierra Designs, patched from where a passing black bear took a swipe.
