Blind Horse Knives has been dissolved into two separate entities as owners L.T. Wright and Dan Coppins have decided to part ways. Both men have opened new shops that will be cranking out knives soon.
You can see their new ventures at L.T. Wright Hand Crafted Knives and Battle Horse Knives.
The BHK-T1 was one of several great knives to come out the Blind Horse Knives shop.
The world can never have enough skeletonized, carbon steel neck knives. That combination of toughness, ease of sharpening, ease of carry, and affordability makes these knives very versatile. The latest such knife is the Kangaroo Mouse KM 1 Neck Knife from Chestnut Ridge Knife Shop.
The KM1 is made by Ontario Knife Co. for CRKS. It is made from 1/8″ thick 1095 steel and features a 3 1/4″ long blade with a 7″ overall length. Its drop point blade features a short saber grind with a long swedge grind. The KM1 comes with a kydex sheath in your choice of colors and various attachment systems.

BladeHQ is putting on a heck of a Black Friday sale. They have special pricing on several cool knives including their exclusive version of the Tops Knives B.O.B. which is one of the best all-around knives I have used lately. Check out the Black Friday sale at BladeHQ.
Whether you realize it or not, you already know at least a little something about Freeman Outdoor Gear (FOG) and their knife making pedigree. Jeff Freeman, the owner, is the designer of some of the most recognizable designs to come out of a certain “Legendary” knife manufacturer based in Oregon. He has now started his own brand and, judging by the initial offerings, that is good news for all of us.
The first design from FOG, the 451, is a looker. It seems to successfully straddle the lines between the outdoors/hunting knife genre and the tactical/survival genre. It is available in 2 sizes – the regular 451 with a 4″ blade and a compact version with 3.25″ blade. FOG grinds both knives from CPMS35VN which is an impressive steel that I find to be somewhat like a tougher, easier to sharpen version of S30V. The knives feature machined G-10 handle slabs and come with functional kydex sheaths.
You can create your own sharp looking color combination when you order a 451. The G-10 slabs are available in a number of colors and the blade is Cerakoted in your choice of colors.
These knives are not inexpensive but they do seem to offer a great value. I am not aware of any other fixed blade knives made from S35VN with a similar feature set in this price range.

This is a must read. Knife Rights brings you the “first detailed scholarly analysis of knives and the Second Amendment has been published in the University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform (vol. 47, pages 167-215).” It was penned by Dave Kopel, Clayton Cramer and Joe Olson and explores the interrelationship of knives and other Second Amendment protected rights.
Anyone with a modicum of common sense can see that knives are protected by the Second Amendment but it is nice to see a cohesive and comprehensive argument laid to that effect.
