Knives are a lot like people—some are quiet and unassuming, while others command attention the moment they show up. Maybe it’s their size, their look, or just an over-the-top presence that makes them impossible to ignore. Today, we’re taking a look at a knife that refuses to be subtle: the Kansept Leviathan. This thing is large and in charge, though completely unrealistic as an EDC. So, let’s dive deep into this aquatic adventure and take a closer look at this beast.
Knife design is often a game of balancing aesthetics, function, and innovation. Some makers lean toward subtlety, while others push the envelope. With the Vivid, Jacob Lundquist takes his signature design language in a bold new direction—one that is ergonomic, visually striking, and built for everyday use.
For those who prioritize usability in an everyday carry flashlight, the Nitecore EDC23 offers a seamless experience with intuitive controls, a practical design, and reliable performance. Let’s break down what makes this flashlight stand out from the crowd.

Flashlights
Flat flashlights are cool, they’re hip, and they’re everywhere. It feels like every manufacturer is jumping on the bandwagon, and honestly, I get why. They’re compact, easy to carry, and packed with features. While searching for flat lights, I came across a brand I hadn’t heard of before—Turtle Creek. After checking out some YouTube reviews (all surprisingly positive), I figured I’d take one for a spin. Having recently reviewed the Arkfield Pro, I thought the Castor would make for an interesting comparison.

Some knives slice, some pierce, and some, like the Kizer Dogfish, strike fast and hold on tight. Named after the dogfish shark, a member of the Squalidae family, this blade takes after its namesake—a small but aggressive predator known for its tenacity and sharp bite. Dogfish sharks might not be the biggest hunters in the ocean, but they make up for it with persistence, adaptability, and a set of teeth that mean business.
Damned Designs patterns are quite iconic in the industry. Even though many of their designs share similarities, it's not unlike other makers such as Todd Begg or Ken Onion. Every knife designer has their own style and flair, making their work instantly recognizable, and the Invictus is no different.
The name Invictus comes from Latin, meaning unconquerable or invincible. However, it's most notably associated with the poem by William Ernest Henley, not Hemingway (common mix-up). The poem’s theme centers on resilience and inner strength, making Invictus a fitting name for a knife you can carry anywhere, confident that it will handle whatever life throws at it.
Jens Anso is a name that carries weight in the knife world. His designs are known for their clean lines, modern aesthetics, and an emphasis on ergonomics. If you've handled his work before, you know he blends function and form in a way that just makes sense. Anso has collaborated with some big names like Zero Tolerance, Böker, and now Kizer, bringing his unique touch to production knives.
One of the things he’s best known for is his work with integral handles—frames milled from a single piece of material. This adds structural strength and eliminates the need for extra hardware. Normally, integrals are found in high-end customs or titanium-based production models, but Kizer is flipping the script by making it accessible with G10. The result? A knife that gives you that solid integral feel without draining your wallet.
Those who read my reviews know that I appreciate a knife that offers a high degree of utility. While I enjoy a variety of blade styles, my favorites tend to be wharncliffe, sheepsfoot, and cleaver blades. Any blade shape can be useful in different situations, but I find these three to be the best for general-purpose work. Knives with a good amount of belly are excellent for tasks like food prep and skinning, but a straight-edged blade offers better precision, ease of sharpening in the field, and a well-defined tip for detailed cutting.
That brings us to the Kizer Task, a knife that visually resembles models like the Gerber Flatiron, featuring a relatively straight blade profile and handle. This is a good thing—straight handles paired with straight blades tend to excel in utility and everyday carry.
DiamondBlade Knives has always been about pushing the limits of what’s possible with steel. Their Friction Forged process takes traditional tool steel and transforms it into something exceptional—offering incredible hardness at the edge while maintaining flexibility at the spine. The result? Knives that stay sharper for longer while resisting breakage.
The Fury Automatic carries that same cutting-edge (pun intended) technology in a compact, pocket-friendly form. It’s lightweight, snappy, and built for real-world use. Let’s take a closer look.

Automatic knives are something that we, as Americans, can take for granted. Plenty of countries—and even some states within the U.S.—outright ban them. Heck, there was a time when even assisted-opening knives lived in a legal gray area. Thanks to organizations like Knife Rights and AKTI, we've seen laws shift, letting us enjoy certain knives without worrying about getting a slap on the wrist.

Finding the right way to carry your gear can be a challenge, especially when balancing comfort, accessibility, and durability. There are plenty of leather and Kydex solutions out there, but when I come across a company that’s making quality products at a reasonable price—especially one that’s local—I like to take a closer look. Enter 1791 Leather, a Miami-based company producing high-quality leather holsters, EDC organizers, and outdoor accessories. I got my hands on their Heavy-Duty Leather Belt and Easy Slide EDC Holster, and after some time using them, here’s what I think.
