Kershaw E.T. External Toggle Knife

Posted on November 16th, 2009
Kershaw E.T.

Posted on August 5th, 2009
Sog Micron Keychain Knife The Sog Micron is a very, very tiny knife. With its 1.5″ blade fully extended, the Micron stretches out to a whopping overall length of 3.44″.

Posted on April 2nd, 2009
The New Leatherman Freestyle - Preview Leatherman’s new Freestyle is due to be released in May, and we are very excited.
