When the Leatherman Signal was introduced nearly a decade ago, it was groundbreaking with its unique blend of traditional multitool functionality and survival-specific features. As I reflect on my prolonged use, it's clear that while the Signal has many strengths, several design issues have surfaced over time. This review will highlight both the positive attributes and the areas that need improvement.

The Kizer Cormorant, designed by Yue Dong (Doctor EDC), is a blend of intricate design and fidget-friendly features. Yue Dong, while completing his dissertation, designed this knife primarily for its fidgeting capabilities, reflecting his enthusiasm for knives. Despite being a knife enthusiast who primarily uses knives for casual tasks, Yue's detailed approach shines through in this design. The Cormorant features a patented locking mechanism that combines the benefits of a button lock while minimizing unintended release. This innovative lock design provides a unique, springy feel and ease of tension adjustment.
The Vosteed Nightshade Shilin Cutter is a thoughtfully designed knife that offers both utility and style. Here are key features and specifications provided by Vosteed along with my thoughts.

Knife Overview
The Kizer Drop Bear is a versatile and high-performance knife, perfect for both everyday carry (EDC) and specialized tasks. Here's an in-depth look at its features, performance, and overall appeal.
Blade Material and Performance
*S45VN Blade*
For the first time, the Drop Bear incorporates S45VN steel, a premium material known for its increased toughness and exceptional edge retention. S45VN is a knife steel that uses a powder metallurgy process, resulting in fine grain structure and high uniformity. This makes the blade not only durable but also efficient in cutting tasks, ensuring long-lasting sharpness and reliability.
*Excellent Performance*
The Drop Bear's design includes a Thumb Stud and Clutch Lock, enhancing the safety and speed of opening and locking the knife. This classic structure has earned widespread recognition, contributing to the Drop Bear's enduring popularity. The quick deployment and secure locking mechanism make it a dependable tool for various applications.
"Nebula Fatcarbon Scale*
The handle of the Drop Bear is crafted from Fatcarbon material, featuring a striking Nebula pattern. This material is lightweight yet durable, providing a comfortable and stable grip. The unique patriotic color combination and graffiti-like fashion style add a distinct aesthetic appeal to the knife, making it not just a tool but also a stylish accessory.
*Scratch Resistant*
Both the blade and pocket clip are treated with a DLC (Diamond-Like Carbon) coating, giving them a deep black color that's highly resistant to scratches. This is the first instance of Kizer using DLC coating on a product, significantly enhancing both the aesthetics and durability of the Drop Bear. The coating ensures the knife maintains its sleek appearance and robust performance even after extensive use.
The Vosteed Mini Nightshade is a compact folding knife that brings impressive performance in a small package. Here’s my detailed review:

KosiM Sharpener Review: Precision and Passion from Ukraine
On my sharpening journey, I've reviewed quite a few different sharpeners. One thing is abundantly clear: Ukraine is a hub for some amazing knife and tool companies. One of these companies that has grabbed my attention is KosiM.
**The Origins of KosiM**
The company started its journey in 2013 while founders Marina and Kostya were still working regular jobs. The young family unknowingly opened a new chapter in their future, although they didn't realize it at the time. They began by purchasing goods from China and experimenting with buying and selling. They named their website KosiM (a blend of their names, Kostya and Marina).
Today, KosiM boasts nearly a complete self-sustaining production cycle for sharpening systems and stones, with plans for further development. They are seeking distributors abroad to overcome language barriers and expedite delivery times for the convenience of their customers.
