Before we get into the Benchmade contest detailed below, we wanted to open up a dialog about the possibility of having more dedicated knife reviews at TFB. Along with watches, knives and guns always seem to run in the same circles. Whether it’s an Everyday Carry setup, survival gear or just another tool for your proverbial (or actual) tool box, quality guns and quality knives go hand in hand.

So, we are giving you, our readers, the chance to weigh in here: standalone knife reviews, knives paired with guns or no blades at all? Chime in with a comment below.

While you are here, you should head on over to Bechmade’s site and enter their giveaway contest that includes a trip to design a new knife. TODAY is the last day. Links and specifics are below.

The same incredible mechanism of the Infidel actuates the blade, but the blade is chisel ground (beveled only on one side) and the handles are smooth and designed more for daily use and in-and-out of pocket use. MOLLE® compatible. Made in USA.
