Every knife we review here has been taken to a kitchen, campsite, mountain pass, office party, backyard barbecue, and beyond and thoroughly tested on practical (and not-so practical), real world tasks.
We are first hand campers, hikers, butchers, cooks, and whiskey drinkers. For everything else we are arm chair academics. We write about things as we use them, and when it comes to more specific things like steel composition, history, and manufacturing methods we rely heavily on information we read in various books, forum discussions, videos, and personal conversations with people who are smarter than us.
