When it comes to Kansept, I’m continually impressed by their commitment to quality and attention to detail. It’s not enough to just hire top-tier designers; the execution has to live up to the design’s promise. Fortunately, this small company out of Yangjiang has consistently delivered, and the Cassowary, designed by Justin Koch of Koch Tools, is no exception.
Vosteed has released a larger version of its popular Mink fixed blade. You can check out our original Mink review here:

The Vosteed Parallel
Inspired by the book Parallel Universes and the Deep Laws of the Cosmos, the Ultra-Thin Vosteed Parallel is Yue’s latest Cross Bar Lock design.
The Early Days
Leatherman's story began in the mid-1970s when Tim Leatherman and his wife, Chau, embarked on a road trip across Europe and the Middle East. Faced with frequent car breakdowns and plumbing issues, Tim found himself repeatedly needing a versatile tool to make quick repairs. This inspired him to conceptualize a pocket-sized tool with pliers, a groundbreaking idea at the time.

The Benchmade Adira immediately caught my attention with its robust design and practical features, making it a valuable addition to my carry, especially when working in wet environments.
Story
Hearing that Benchmade had a new water series coming out was intriguing. I had owned a few of the H1 Spyderco Salts, and they were interesting. They could be used for daily tasks without worrying about corrosion, but where they really shined was in wet environments. It was only a matter of time before someone in the cutlery industry decided to do their own take on things. With the Spyderco Salts, they used a blade steel that was nitrogen-based. Nitrogen, like carbon, is a small atom and has a similar ability to influence changes to iron's ferrite structure. Unlike carbon, however, it does not increase the steel's vulnerability to corrosion. With the water series, Benchmade has decided to use the new Magnacut steel. This new steel has a host of features that make it great for being around water. Let's take a look and see how the Adira stacks up to wet environments and EDC tasks.
The Kizer Mini Grouper, designed by Azo, is a noteworthy addition to Kizer's lineup. This compact yet versatile folding knife offers a blend of high performance, user-friendly features, and stylish design. For its price range, the Mini Grouper is quite impressive, particularly with its use of carbon fiber and Nitro-V steel.
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.
