Episode Description

This week, we’re talking about the most overrated gear in everyday carry. From knives that don’t deserve the hype to multi-tools and wallets that fall flat, the community had plenty to say about what just isn’t worth it. We’ve also got knife news out of NYCKS with a stolen Null Knives prototype, Victorinox eyeing U.S. production, a new Show and Tell with some Swiss steel, and more.
