As I opened the box, I knew in an instant I was in for a treat. Nestled inside was a gorgeous leather zippered pouch. Lifting it out from the box, I saw a thin plastic bag with what looked to be stickers. Under that, I found a nifty coin embossed with Wheat State Cutlery’s logo. 　　Decorative bells and whistles like...

　　When it comes to heavy-duty side-by-sides, there is a big difference between machines built for show and those built to work. The 2024 Can-Am Defender Max Limited earns its place in the workhorse category. It works hard, carries heavy loads, tows big trailers, and pushes through terrain that stops lesser machines. Its not flashy, and its certainly not delicate. 　　I...

　　I was 9 years old the first time I saw The Warriors. Admittedly, I was a bit young by today’s standards for that sort of film, but the early 1980s were a very different time. Not only was that movie my first look at (outlandishly Hollywood) inner-city turf wars, it was also the first time I remember seeing a switchblade....

　　The world of knives continues to evolve and change to meet modern demands, inviting new designs and materials along the way. Perhaps coincidentally, a growing trend sees some great knives coming from brands that aren’t specifically knife manufacturers. 　　Where once customers only sought out and celebrated established knife brands, the industry now sees a movement toward brands that focus on...

　　As someone who has carried a knife with him since he was a kid, I have always struggled with the limitations of some knives. I recognize that knives are used for cutting and slicing. However, we’ve all got a bit of neanderthal in us, and sometimes you just want to chop and pry with a knife. 　　Recognizing that we’re all...

　　I avoid using the phrase functional art in my knife reviews because its unspecific and potentially misleading. But I am hard-pressed to classify designer Darriel Caston’s knives any other way. Everything he churns out is as wonderful to look at as it is to use. 　　In 2024, CRKT released both the Minimal X and the limited-edition Mbombo, both based off...

　　Last year, Ford did a complete redesign of the Ranger. It stretched both the wheelbase and track a couple of inches, beefed up the frame, and improved the suspension by setting the rear shocks outboard, all the while retaining its ability to tow up to 7,500 pounds. It also upgraded the interior with new seats, better materials, and improved storage...

　　Tell someone a Rick Hinderer creation is your Grail knife, and they are more likely to ask which model rather than why. 　　Hinderer Knives are made in the United States and garner praise from enthusiasts for their durability and handfeel.

The Limited Edition A.T. Diamond Case Trapper Knife pays homage to the trail on its handle with the iconic A.T. diamond...

　　Never once have I said Im itching to go offroading in a Ford Expedition. But, that all changes now. I just drove the first-of-its-kind Expedition TREMOR on a muddy trail deep in the Indiana woods, and it far exceeded all expectations. 　　The 2025 Ford Expedition TREMOR is easily the most off-road-capable Expedition to ever roll out of a Ford factory....

　　Its rare to find a moto rack that accommodates bicycles, and almost unheard of to find a bike rack that accommodates motorbikes. Hauling both can be cumbersome, with bikes mounted on the car and the motorcycle towed on a trailer, meaning that often, people will choose between bringing one or the other on their adventures. 　　Enter the 1Up Moto Rack...
