Hello people my name is Adam Chavez. You may know me from my YouTube Reviews and USN as Flipinbean (YT) and That One Guy (USN). This will be my blog debut piece on RED BLADE KNIVES “PIG” model knife.

Back in September of 2011 I reviewed the Combative Edge SR11 by Rob Walker. Since that time I have had ample opportunity to run my SR11 through the preverbal ringer, but also to take note of the other knives of the Combative Edge line, including the M1 folder and the ultra aggressive Salus fixed blade.

Perhaps one of the biggest treats of attending this year’s Blade Show was getting a chance to chat with custom knife maker Pat Crawford. In years past I had seen the Crawford booth but somehow or another Pat was never there at that specific time. For this reason, I came to believe that Pat did not, or perhaps no longer personally, attended the Blade Show. I think very highly of Pat Crawford therefore I was thrilled to find him in attendance this year. I had stopped by to introduce myself and suddenly a bit of history that I have with Pat came back to me. Continue reading 2012 Blade Show – Crawford Survival Staff
