When I first opened the box, I thought the Nitecore BP18 is never going to accommodate my daily EDC for personal or professional use. My natural tendency is to over pack but I’m working on that. I’ve been scaling down my pack size to keep things lighter and more streamlined for easier movement. My personal […]

I’ve always been a knife person and have carried various models of a Syderco knife since they first hit the market in 1990.
