Kershaw Emerson 3-piece Kitchen Knife Set Review – Cook's Se...
It may seem unusual for a publication devoted to professional tools and jobsite equipment to review a set of kitchen knives. But the principles that govern blade design, build quality, balance, and ergonomics are universal, whether the knife in question is used to trim drywall,...
Kershaw Barge Prying Knife Review

Milwaukee Jobsite Scissors
Scissors do not get the respect they deserve. In the hierarchy of jobsite cutting tools, they occupy a humble position somewhere below the utility knife, the pocket folder, and the multi‑tool—a position so unglamorous that many tradespeople do not even think about their scissors until...
Kershaw Duck Commander Knives Released!
Raise your hand if you have ever watched an episode of Duck Dynasty. All right, perhaps it would be easier to count those who haven't. For over a decade, the Robertson family—led by patriarch Phil Robertson, inventor of the Duck Commander duck call—has been a...
