When it comes to knife maintenance and emergency repairs, my go-to has always been a trusty Kershaw driver. But the OKnife Otacle D1 Brass Driver has introduced a touch of elegance and functionality I didn’t know I needed.
The Victor is a fascinating blend of nostalgia and cutting-edge innovation. With its classic design and pioneering Friction Forged technology, it bridges the gap between the traditional and the modern, offering something unique in a sea of everyday carry options.
Roxon has always been a brand with an eye for innovation, and with the Flex series, they’ve accomplished something truly groundbreaking—the modular multitool. For decades, DIY enthusiasts and tool hobbyists have dreamt of a multitool that could be customized to fit their specific needs, rather than just accepting a fixed set of tools where some might be redundant or unnecessary. With the Flex, Roxon created an adaptable system that quickly won fans in the multitool community. Now, they’ve refined and reimagined that concept with the Flex Companion, a compact, customizable multitool designed for users who don’t need pliers every day but still want a reliable toolkit in their pocket.
When it comes to everyday carry (EDC), the goal is to carry gear that meets your daily needs. For some, this means a consistent setup; for others, EDC evolves daily, adapting to new tasks and challenges. This evolution has given rise to a world of gear tailored to countless scenarios. Some people embrace minimalism, while others believe in carrying everything—including the kitchen sink.
This shifting mindset has pushed manufacturers to develop tools for specific tasks or users, whether hikers, skateboarders, or generalists. Many companies follow the “more is better” philosophy, cramming multitools with features to suit as many people as possible. But what if your tools could adapt to your needs? Enter Windeler, a UK-based company reimagining how we interact with tools.
The QSP Lark stands out right out of the box. The shredded carbon fiber overlay with that blue and black mix is captivating, catching the light in a way that’s subtle but eye-catching. Unlike flashier carbon fiber, the Lark’s handle material has a satin feel to it that’s more refined than flamboyant. It’s backed with G10 to keep costs down without sacrificing structure, and the result is impressive, with QSP living up to its name once again: Quality, Selection, and Price.
There's something charmingly nostalgic about the CIVIVI Sendy—a knife that feels like a nod to the good old days, when a trusty blade and a hanky could conquer just about anything. CIVIVI took that nostalgia and threw in a few modern perks (yes, I’m talking tweezers and a toothpick). It’s like they looked at the humble Swiss Army knife and thought, “Why not up the ante?” And so, they did—"Sendy" style.

The Kansept Hinterland, designed by Morgan Koens, brings an interesting blend of classic Bowie style and modern folding knife functionality. As a designer with roots in custom fixed blades, Koens adds a certain ruggedness to the Hinterland’s design while making it suitable for EDC (Everyday Carry). This blade certainly stands out as a piece you’d want in your rotation for tasks both expected and unforeseen.

All of the new Leatherman colors in one place. Can't forget the Arc though ;-)
When I'm looking to review a product, different things drive my interest on why I want to cover that item for our community. Sometimes it's a dang that's cool thing, or maybe it's a why don't more people talk about this? For this knife it was a, it can't be as bad as people say, can it? Today we're checking out the A100 from the folks over at ANV, I'm here to see if it's what people say or it's a diamond in the rough.
In field testing, the Mink XL's performance was not just noteworthy, but truly impressive under extreme conditions. As fate would have it, I found myself in the aftermath of a hurricane, facing weeks without power. The Mink XL quickly became my go-to blade, proving its versatility in ways I hadn't anticipated.
