Spyderco Paramilitary 2 Mod Review – Beyond Perfection
The Spyderco Paramilitary 2 came very close to being the perfect knife. Only two flaws: the stock scales are uncomfortable because of sharp edges, and the pocket clip isn’t low-carry, making it overly visible when EDC’ing it at the office or formal events. So I decided to fix it. And there we have it, theContinue reading “Spyderco Paramilitary 2 Mod Review – Beyond Perfection”
Travando Money Clip Wallet Review – The Best Wallet in the World
On my lifelong quest to find the perfect wallet, I’ve seen quite a few that had nearly everything right. I’ve seen wallets that had all the pockets you could want, but they were too bulky.

Olight Perun Mini Review – The Best Mini-Flashlight in the World
I’ve had a lot of flashlights in my life. And I mean… a lot. I’m kinda stupid when it comes to trying out flashlights.
