Behind the Scenes at Southern Grind

Southern Grind Bad Monkey JTTSouthern Grind is a knife manufacturer that is easy to like. They are owned by Zac Brown of the Zac Brown Band, they funnel part of their profits into Zac’s charity Camp Southern Ground, and they make great looking knives. They recently released a video that gives a behind the scenes look at their operation.

You will see plenty of advanced machinery but no knife will ever be great without plenty of time in the practiced hands of a craftsman. This is the dichotomy that you will find at many modern knife makers. As advanced as we have become, it is hard to imagine craftsmen will ever truly be replaced by machines.

Check out Southern Grind and stay tuned for the full review of the Modified Tanto Bad Monkey knife.

MonoVault Secure Storage

I recently came across MonoVaults at Brownells and, frankly, I’m not sure what to think of them. On one hand, they are water-resistant tubes that are made for caching valuables like firearms underground and that is pretty cool. On the other, it probably says something about our state of our nation that there is a product for this purpose being offered as an off-the-shelf item rather than the cobbled together PVC pipe tubes that are typically used.

You know the old saying about when it’s time to bury your guns…
