This week we take a quick look at the SOG Twitch II assisted opening folder. Great little knife for 35 bucks. But really lets us know how set in our ways we get with specific knife features and ergonomics. Once a gear feature becomes second nature, and engrained in your brain, change comes hard.

Condor Rodan

Made in El Salvador, the Condor Rodan is a no frills working knife from Condor Tool and Knife. Condor makes some good gear at a reasonable price. This may be a little bulky for some, but for a little more than $20 bucks, I added it to my inventory. check it out here

Magnum Elk Hunter - a great value.

Well, found another knife that I just had to buy... that seems to be happening to me a lot lately.  Boker sends me their catalog every once in a while, and I dont know how they do it, but when I see that thing in the mailbox, I just know I'm getting a new knife. 
The boker catalog is knife porn, I read it cover to cover about 5 times in the first day or two I get it....  ANYWAY... let me get to the point...  Magnum, which is Boker's "Cheaper" knife division has a section in the catalog, and they always have really compelling deals.  I already own a couple of magnum folders, and was impressed enough with the value I got with them, that I decided to buy the Magnum Elk Hunter.  Its a beautiful little fixed blade, and I'm pretty sure its going to see plenty of use.   Check it out on the website at www.survival-gear-guide.com

Marble's Bolo Machete - Another steal.

I recently picked up (had delivered actually) a new Marble's machete.  I love this thing...  it's a workhorse, and a well made one at that.   I guess in this day and age, I'm just not used to getting anything other than total crap for under $20, so the fact that this thing cost $14.99 just blows me away, that is with the sheath, and sharpening stone.  The difference in this machete versus a run of the mill cheap steel machete is unreal...they are not even playing in the same league... and the hell of it is, a junk machete will still cost you ten bucks.
