The CRKT Fulcrum 2 is back after a bit of a hiatus. This folder is a Russ Kommer design and its re-emergence means that one of the most interesting production folder deployment mechanisms is available again. The Fulcrum 2 has a history that goes back to the realm of high-end custom knives. Maker Charles Kain is the creator of the custom piece on which the Fulcrum 2’s unique mechanism first appeared. Kain operates in what you could call the “art knife” arena, but he has always been just as interested in the engineering as the look of a knife, and many of his pieces incorporate unusual locks and/or deployment methods. CRKT, always on the lookout for new collaborators and never afraid of a non-traditional mechanism, tapped Russ Kommer to design the Fulcrum 2 in 2016 – we first handled it at that year’s SHOT Show. The Fulcrum 2 is a rare tip-down carry Some of you may not have been on the scene in 2016 and, if so, you’re probably wondering: what is the Fulcrum mechanism? Basically, instead of a flipper, button, thumb stud, nail mark, or other opening method, the Fulcrum 2 is opened by pushing the handle scale…

The newly created Military Spouse Commission held its inaugural meeting at the White House this week, giving military spouses representing senior leaders across the armed forces their first formal opportunity to lay out the problems they’ve heard about from families and discuss potential policy changes.The Sept. 21 meeting covered some of the most persistent challenges facing military families: spouse employment, access to health care, child care, housing and the difficult transition from military service to civilian life.The commission was established by President Donald Trump in August to advise and assist him on policies affecting military spouses and families. The order requires the commission to provide the president with a report at the end of each fiscal year while it exists, as well as a final report before its termination.

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! There is a funny twist to the anti-FOMO craze. Now people are worried they may be missing out on the latest way to spend less time on their phones. You may have heard people talking about “bricking” their phones. Thankfully, they are not destroying them. A $59 product called Brick is getting attention because it lets you temporarily block distracting apps and websites, creating a physical barrier between you and whatever keeps sucking you back into your screen. I understand the appeal. If you have ever picked up your phone to check one text and resurfaced 40 minutes later wondering why you were watching a stranger remodel a bathroom, you know how quickly a quick check can turn into a scroll.Still, my first reaction is this: before you buy another piece of technology to keep you away from technology, use the controls already sitting inside the phone you paid for. Apple has expanded Screen Time in iOS 27. Android already has some useful Digital Wellbeing controls. A few simple changes can also make distracting apps a little harder to reach and help break that automatic urge to grab your phone.NEW! 🩺 Free…

The USS Chafee on Sept. 11 refueled the Unmanned Surface Vessel Seahawk, Medium Unmanned Surface Vessel, according to Navy photos released on Monday. The refueling of the uncrewed vessel, which requires onboarding personnel to the Seahawk, was the second time a U.S. Navy ship attempted an at-sea sustainment this year. The astern refueling method was previously tested between Seahawk and oiler USNS Guadalupe in April, according to USNI. The Seahawk joins the other MUSV, Sea Hunter, as the first autonomous medium unmanned surface vessels operated by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency and the Office of Naval Research.The sea service is utilizing the “Sea Hunter and Seahawk as prototypes for research and experimentation. Major goals of research and experimentation efforts with Sea Hunter and Seahawk are to determine the most effective way to utilize USVs in operations and how to best integrate them into the Fleet,” according to the Navy. The 145-ton Seahawk was built by the tech and defense company Leidos, before being transferred to the Navy in 2021 and used for testing across the Indo-Pacific. Through its No Manning Required Ship — or NOMARS — program, DARPA is…

Have you ever thought about how people baked bread before the convenience of modern electric ovens? You might think they used a brick oven or maybe even a bake kettle. But actually, most American farmers of the 17th century didn’t even have those luxuries. Instead, they used a large cast iron pot. How do you use a cast iron pot to bake bread?
