Toor Knives Brauler Review

The Toor Brauler fixed blade tactical knife with its blade tip sticking out of a log in front of a stack of firewood.

TL;DR It’s a Hefty Knife that Gets the Job Done “Brauler” is a fitting name, because this is a brutal knife. It is sometimes better as a smasher than a cutter for when you want to smash something with a little more cutting efficiency. I didn’t love this as a slicer with the out-of-the-box geometry, …

Joker Bushcrafter Photo Tour & Review

An overhead view of the Joker Bushcrafter fixed blade knife sitting with its leather sheath on a tree stump.

The Joker Bushcrafter looks like a mid-sized bushcraft knife should look. It is free of any tactical incumbrancers that plague more than a few modern fixed blades.
