I grew up on the daily newspaper and National Geographic magazine. I was first up pick up the paper when it arrived in the morning and first to get my grubbies on the pages of Nat Geo. Something about print was, and still is, magical. The glossy page
I go hiking early. Like, peel your eyelids back, meet at the trailhead at 5 am, early. That's how it has to be done with kids and life and work happening. Plus: sunrises!Mornings are magical. The friends that join me on these outings are equally nuts
I think everyone in this world has a gift to give the world. And perhaps it's our obligation as an oxygen-sucking biped at the top of the food chain to spread our gift across life's path to lift others and leave the human condition a little better th
Go follow my friends @knivesandtools to get the details on this Banter GAW! These guys are the best. They have been stoked about my work for a few years now, and I'm grateful to call them friends. While you're here: I'm looking for more knife educ

I'm not much of a freehand artist, but I can hold my own better than I flip balisongs. šŸ˜‚ I sent this poster tube to Lawrence at BRS, and I couldn't help throwing a few doodles on the side. I love watching people flip in the same way I love watching
I was at dinner with Protech earlier this year, and someone asked my favorite book. With little thought, I said, "Harry Potter." As mulled it over afterward, I couldn't help but think I could have picked a more sophisticated favorite book l
"What are you carrying today?" Oh, you know... just a couple pounds of delight. Knife: @weknives Banter Prototype Wallet: ADD Tactical Strop Wallet Pen: @petespiratelife and @bigidesign Brass Click Light: @fenixlight EOS5 Multitool: @leath
People keep asking when the WE Banter will be available. It already is...in paper form. @everlastingember has been using the @knafs_co poster edition as his EDC. He says it's ultralight weight, slim profile, and capable of slicey papercuts. His edit
That's a wrap! Random.org picked @chris_castillo7 to win the Firecraft 5 from @whiteriverknives. I LOVED reading all your adventure stories. Rain storms and kids and waterfalls and canoes and road trips and messes and fun. It all felt like a warm cam
