About
Field tester focusing on portable sharpeners for EDC and backcountry blades. I simulate bad conditions and track edge recovery time, grip, and durability so your tools work when weather doesn’t.
Core Beliefs
Gear that fails in the field isn’t gear—it’s weight.
Perspective
I favor rugged, portable tools and micro-bevel strategies that survive abuse.
