Buckle up, because two heavy-hitting titles just broke out of the cage, and they’re not coming back quietly. Bleecker Street Publications just announced the breakout of Skillset and the full-blown revival of Tactical Knives.
If you’re tired of clickbait and trendy fluff pieces, these two are for you. We’re talking fresh daily content, zero apologies, and enough attitude to keep you coming back for more.

Tactical Knives: The Cutting Edge of EDC
And then there’s Tactical Knives, back from the dead and sharper than ever. This isn’t a place for fluffy, high-end custom gear reviews.

“I cut my teeth as a knife writer with Tactical Knives Magazine before the old Harris Publications closed its pages (totally not my fault),” Swanagon says. “Since then, I’ve refined my craft as a knife writer and editor with various other publications. Now, it’s an honor to restore Tactical Knives to its rightful place atop the heap. Life comes full circle.”
