I have been carrying knives on me for most of my life, so I’m comfortable carrying them. I have also chosen the knives I carry based on their form, function, and materials. However, I realize that many people do not carry knives every day and may not know what the right knife is for them. But while there are vast choices when it comes to knives, some simply work for everyone.

For the last few months, the outdoor industry, along with most other manufacturing industries in the U.S, has been in a pickle over the same buzzword: tariffs. With the Trump administration’s starts and stops on import taxes, disruptions have impacted brands of all sizes. It’s left many companies struggling to forecast budgets and plan for the future. Knafs has steadily made its way to the top of the knife industry by creating very desirable blades at decent prices.

Few things can ruin a good knife. The two that do are human error and rust. The human aspect can be eliminated with a little coaching. Rust, however, never sleeps. It creeps into corners and crevices and can ruin a knife quickly. If you take care of your knife, making sure to clean it properly, you can keep rust and corrosion at bay. But let’s be real, when’s the last time you cleaned your knife? I clean my pocket knife whenever I do something messy with it, but it’s not a deep clean.

The MKM Knives DCA Pocket Tango 1 is a small-form fixed blade that carries on your belt or in your pocket. The Nessmuk version of this knife has proven to be problematic for yours truly. I wasn’t looking for another petite belt knife. I thought I already had that covered and that I would relegate this knife to bushcraft stuff.

Over the years, though, I have trimmed the fat out of my packs. I have been able to scale back their size, even going as small as a lumbar bag for shorter jaunts on the trail. Last December, Grayl fully immersed itself in the world of lumbar bags with its Mission EXP Hip Pack.
