About Steel Snob

Steel Snob is an independent site about kitchen knives, everyday carry folders and fixed blades, outdoor and survival knives, the steels they are made from, and the knife laws that decide where you can carry them. Our aim is simple: help you choose well by explaining what matters, what the trade-offs are, and who a product suits.

How our content is made

Steel Snob is written and edited by the Steel Snob Editorial team. Our reviews and buying guides are researched, not based on our own lab or field testing. We work from manufacturer specifications, independent tests and owner reports, compare products against the same criteria, and edit every page for accuracy before it goes live. How We Test explains the process in detail.

Independence

No brand pays for a place in our guides or sees our content before it is published. The Disclaimer page explains how the site is funded. When a product has a known weakness, we say so.
