SOG's AEGIS Multi-Tool

 

I recently bought a full sized  SOG PowerLock Multitool & this little SOG Aegis MT.

Both have SOG's compound leverage technology which doubles the strength of the pliers, which is amazing!

Knife Roll filled with Pocket Knives

 

.43 caliber Aluminum Alloy RoundBall

 

@ 1.8 grams per Aluminum Roundball, these "Alien Play" projectiles are another option for the Umarex Walther-T4E PPQ M2 Co2 Pistol.

The injection molded Nylon/PVC "Riot Ball" are 13.3 grains per round, basically 50% lighter than the Aluminum ball.

Ram's Horn Damascus Folding Knife

 This is a handmade folding knife from Pakistan.

The Carbon Steel Damascus Blade has a very attractive pattern, plus it can be made to be sharp as a razor!

This is definitely not a "pocket knife", and came with a high quality leather belt holster.

BeaverCraft "BHS2" Bushcraft Knife

I have owned and used a BPS Knives "HK-5" Hunting Knife which was made in the Ukraine for well over a year, and it is one of most impressive sub $50 knives that I have ever encountered...and within a year, I noticed another Ukrainian knifemaker was being reviewed by various outdoorsman themed YouTube channels, as well as having several models available on Amazon.ca, so I put this $50 four inch blade Bushcraft model  in my cart and proceeded to check out when a little window popped into the screen asking me if I would like to buy this knife for $25!!! Obviously I clicked 'YES', and the next day I had my hands on the BeaverCraft BHS2 Bushcraft Knife, and began to compare it with my BPS Knives HK-5.

Sierra-Zulu Bighorn Tactical Cleaver

This is one of those cutlery designs that absolutely blew me away!

The "Cleaver" shape is ideal for chopping, cutting & slicing, it's an all round utilitarian blade shape...plus, there is no denying how Tacti-cool this Cleaver looks.

It is now on my shopping list, and hopefully it doesn't sell out, or mysteriously disappear before I can buy it!

US Army TL-29 Lineman's Tool

Recently, while browsing amazon, I recognized a type, or pattern of pocket knife that was originally made for the US Army from 1917 to possibly the present day.

It was issued to the Linemen, or as we call them in the civilian world,  Electricians.

Millions of the TL-29 pattern Lineman's Tool were made, and in the US, it's very common to see several versions, made by several knife companies on tables at gun & knife shows for very low prices 

The TL-29 that I came across was $15 and made in China for a US Tool company called "Gardner-Bender".

The blade steel used is tempered Carbon Steel. One blade is a drop point/spear point blade style and the other is designed with a wire stripper slot at the base of the blade, and a slotted screwdriver on the tip of the blade.

The screwdriver straight edge blade has a liner lock, and the rest of the liner is made of brass.

 This inexpensive pocket knife is built like a tank, and quite a nice classic jack knife style folding pocket knife.

SZCO Black-Tech Bowie & Winchester Bowie Knives

 

Both of these are sub $30 knives that are better than most other knives in that price range.

The new SZCO Black-Tech Bowie is made of 420 Stainless Steel and the 25 year old Winchester Bowie knife is made of "Surgical Steel" (?)

I have put the Winchester thru a few years of hard use, and it still appears new looking 

I will take the SZCO with me into the bush this coming Spring/Summer, and see how well it performs.

Böker-Magnum Ranger Field Bowie Knife

 

Not long after I bought my Böker Magnum Sierra Delta Tanto Knife on Amazon, I saw this Böker-Magnum Ranger Field Bowie Knife, and because I have always loved the Ka-bar style of Military knife, so I  impulsively purchased it.

The fit & finish is excellent, especially the stacked leather ring handle. The guard and base of the handle is made of G10, and the nearly 6" blade is made of 440 Stainless Steel and it has a lovely looking black oxide finish.

The leather sheath is really high quality.

I wish I could find boots made of such soft leather!

Overall I could find no flaws with this Böker-Magnum knife, which seems to have been made to the same high standard of quality as my Sierra Delta Tanto.

Böker-Magnum Sierra Delta Tanto Knife

I have wanted to get myself a Cold Steel Recon Tanto fixed blade knife for several years, but since the pandemic my work hours have been reduced so much that even a $75 knife purchased is more than I can afford. 

Last month I came across this knife and was able to buy it from Amazon through their 0% interest  monthly payment plan, and I went for it. 

I was quite pleased when I received it, and it is one well made, amazing fixed blade Tanto knife.

Böker's "Magnum" line are a collection of knives that are more affordable than the "made in Germany" knives.

This full tang Tanto knife has G10 handle scales, and the 5" blade is made of 440 stainless steel with a bead blasted finish that looks terrific. The overall length is 10".

The Kydex sheath is high quality and fits perfectly plus a Böker belt adapter clip was included.

 I look forward to carrying this knife with me when I get out into to bush this Spring & Summer.
