Happy Thanksgiving!

Thanks be to God for His unspeakable gift!

My country, tis of thee
Sweet land of liberty
of thee I sing
Land where my fathers died
Land of the pilgrims pride
From every mountain side
Let freedom ring

Youtube Benchmade Griptilian Review

I posted a little while back about the Benchmade Griptilian that I owned and I thought it was great.  Nutnfancy has a great review on the Grip on Youtube.  He covers a slightly different variation of the Griptilian than I did, but they are basically all the same knives. This really is an awesome folding knife!

5 Best Buck Knives

Buck Knives have to be one of the top brands when considering real working knives.  They aren't the fanciest blades around, but they do the job.  You just aren't afraid to get a Buck dirty and you don't have to baby it.  They have a number of good models available, but my choices for the best are at Five Outstanding Buck Knives - Good Quality and Good Value Outdoors Knives.

Build a Survival Kit

This is a little different than the knives normally covered here, but some other pieces of equipment are important as well.  This guide to making a survival kit covers most of the basic kit needed with some recommendations for each part. This is a very basic list to cover some essentials, and everyone will have their own additions, and maybe even subtractions, to it.

How To Choose a Pocket Knife - The Five Best Folding Knife Companies

Fixed blades are my favorite, but I love folding knives, too.  I put my picks for my favorite folding knife companies on How To Choose a Pocket Knife - The Five Best Folding Knife Companies.

There are other great companies out there that I hate to leave off the list such as Buck, Boker, Queen, and others and I certainly am not diminishing their qualities.  I love Buck Knives and have been carrying one regularly, but they didn't quite fit on this list as it tends slightly towards higher end knives.
