For five years Kasper held the position of "Street Smarts" editor for Tactical Knives magazine and wrote more than 100 close-combat/knife-related articles for Combat Knives, Modern Knives, Fighting Knives, Full Contact, Guns & Ammo, Soldier of Fortune and Gung-Ho magazines. He was also the editor for Snapping In, the journal of the Gung-Ho Chuan Association. He died in 2006.
