I have probably carried the Zero Tolerance 0450CF more than any other folding knife over the past couple of years. It's lightweight, slips into all pockets with ease, it uses materials that I like, and last but not least, it's a cool looking knife! It's not a perfect pocket knife but it's a pleasure to EDC (everyday carry). It's probably not the best slicer in the world so … [Read more...] about Zero Tolerance 0450CF Sinkevich Flipper Review
Everyday Carry Pocket Dump Pop: Zero Tolerance, Boker Plus, Apple iPad & Streamlight
Today's pop art inspired EDC pocket dump is a little bit funky. I was playing around with colors using Photoshop and added some blue and yellow. I kept the everyday carry gear untouched so it can still be seen properly but I went nuts on the background. What do you think? I'm still here in Istanbul, Turkey so my EDC gear is minimal to say the least. I really didn't want to … [Read more...] about Everyday Carry Pocket Dump Pop: Zero Tolerance, Boker Plus, Apple iPad & Streamlight

Knives and EDC on Social Media
I've started creating a few social media accounts for the Directness.com website lately. I'm still finding my way around some of them but I'm a quick learner. Just for something different, I'll rank them by the amount of subscribers or followers that they have. It's probably an indication of how much I post on the platform or at least how new it is to me. I'll update … [Read more...] about Knives and EDC on Social Media
Brown Everyday Carry: Tops Knives, Streamlight, Boker Plus, and Handmade Leather
The theme for my everyday carry this week is the color Brown! I couldn't stick with the theme completely as I don't have a brown flashlight or pen with me. As some of you might know I'm an Australian guy who has been here in Istanbul, Turkey for the year. So I don't have much EDC gear with me. I believe the knife laws are similar here to those in Australia (very … [Read more...] about Brown Everyday Carry: Tops Knives, Streamlight, Boker Plus, and Handmade Leather
Spyderco Paramilitary 2 Pocket Knife Review PM2
The Spyderco Para Military 2 is an almost perfect pocket knife in my humble opinion but I'll try to be as objective as I can with this review as I know not everyone loves the folder as much as me. It's as close to being universally loved among the cutlery community as almost any other folding knife and there's plenty of good reasons for this. At Spyderco they use the C.Q.I. … [Read more...] about Spyderco Paramilitary 2 Pocket Knife Review PM2

Everyday Carry for the Week: Spyderco, Streamlight & Fisher Space Pen
This week's Everyday carry theme is the color Orange! I've really had a thing for all things orange over the past six months or so. I'm thinking of it as my Vitamin C period. I like it more as an accent color as it's such a strong color, so I wouldn't buy an all orange hoodie or an orange car but I would buy them with orange accents. Starting from the top, it's my Samsung … [Read more...] about Everyday Carry for the Week: Spyderco, Streamlight & Fisher Space Pen
EDC Monday: Cold Steel, MecArmy, ZT & Spyderco
Everyday carry equipment for the start of the week is all about brutality as we need to attack this week. Which means you'll need a belt to hold these suckers up if you're carrying them in your pockets! Starting with the ridiculously large (awesome) Cold Steel XL Voyager with a clip point blade. If you don't like the Extra Large range of Cold Steel pocket knives then you … [Read more...] about EDC Monday: Cold Steel, MecArmy, ZT & Spyderco
RUIKE P801-SF Flipper Folding Knife Review
The Ruike P801-SF is one of a few budget knives by Chinese makers that made long established American knife companies think about what they were doing. In this price range knife lovers were used to buying cheap plastic folders with poor quality control, mystery steels, and a knife-lifespan of about a week if you were careful. RUIKE upped the game with good design, decent steel … [Read more...] about RUIKE P801-SF Flipper Folding Knife Review
