As OutdoorHub’s new resident knife expert, Justin Mastine-Frost brings a wealth of knowledge to a very specific niche of the site. While not as outdoorsy or well-seasoned in hunting and fishing, Justin is very well versed when it comes to the world of engineering and manufacturing, as well as being an avid knife collector. Coming at the category with a background in automotive, powersports, and watchmaking (an eclectic mix, we know), he has rapidly built up a knowledge base of the category. Aside from overall knife design, he knows that the devil is in the details—ergonomics, type and hardness of steel, bearing materials, and other key details will all play into the evaluation of each knife presented on OutdoorHub, alongside both value and intended use. Whether you’re looking for a substantial field knife for dressing and gutting, or a small pocket folder for daily carry, he’ll do his best to steer you in the right direction.
