The world of finely crafted gear spins like a well-oiled movement—sometimes predictable, often surprising. This week, it serves up a cocktail of rugged knives, resurrected brands, and cinematic legends.
Taylor Martin, the maestro behind Best Damn EDC, has forged a knife that whispers of hickory smoke and mountain trails. The Clingman isn’t just steel; it’s heirloom-grade pragmatism. Picture your grandfather’s pocketknife, but reimagined with a Nitro-V blade sharp enough to split atoms—or at least stubborn packaging. Its ball-bearing pivot glides like a creek over smooth stones, while the front flipper winks at modern flair.
Hollywood’s chameleon, Val Kilmer, left the stage this week—but his roles linger like perfume in a velvet theater. From Iceman’s cocky smirk to Batman’s brooding growl, Kilmer danced between genres like a moth between spotlights. The BBC’s tribute reads like a greatest-hits album; cue the montage of Tombstone one-liners and Heat’s bullet-ridden silence.
Xeric’s Timeline Dual Retrograde just got a regal upgrade: amethyst purple, bold enough to make Prince nod in approval. Beneath its psychedelic facade ticks a Miyota 9015, twisted into retrograde sorcery by Xeric’s custom module. At 38% off pre-order, it’s a steal—assuming you’re patient enough to wait until October.
Rumors swirled like Scottish mist: Trakke, the beloved packmaker, had vanished. Then—plot twist—Alpkit swooped in like a corporate knight. Their website now teases a comeback, all cryptic “register interest” buttons and hero shots of waxed canvas. The gearheads’ verdict? Cautious optimism, with a side of “prove it”.
