MoreKA-BAR’s latest piece is another Allen Elishewitz collaboration, the aptly-named Elishewitz Pocket Tool or EPT. This is an EDCable fixed blade with sensible cutting geometry and some unique features for a fixie, One thing we like to do here at KnifeNews HQ (in between shareholder meetings, lavish team retreats, and puttering around the world in a plane from the KN fleet) is highlight any trends in the industry – just for fun, really. And when it comes to knife world trends, the EDC fixed blade is an interesting one, because, while it hasn’t exploded in the way that, say, flipper knives did 10 years ago, it has been a very stable sector of the market, with new models rolling out, if not all the time, than at least often enough to keep fans happy. You don’t often see a pocket clip on a fixed blade EDC fixed blades vary widely in size – not unlike folders, we suppose, but because they do not, y’know, fold, their overall size is much more of a consideration. Thus, some EDC fixies are carried on the belt like a larger knife would be – but with the EPT, Elishewitz had his sights set on…

Mold, asbestos and crumbling walls are only some of the issues plaguing the U.S. military’s Pacific bases, according to a Pentagon watchdog.At Camp Courtney and Kadena and Yokota Air Bases in Japan, investigators with the Defense Department Office of Inspector General found “visible corrosion, visible mold, visible fire damage, visible cracks on the building exterior and interior, visible concrete spalling and exposed rebar, water intrusion, lead‑based paint, asbestos‑containing material and inoperable communication connections.”The findings came during an audit of Pacific Command infrastructure, during which IG investigators visited 11 PACOM bases in May 2025. They examined operations and communications infrastructure, as well as base housing.Though the report is heavily redacted, the descriptions — and the photographs — show some structures on the verge of collapse, including two photos of homes at Kadena with crumbling ceilings and living room furniture strewn with debris.“DoD officials told us that in some areas, falling debris — ranging from small fragments to large slabs — poses an ongoing risk to personnel safety,” the report states.The audit was originally aimed at assessing the state of “mission-critical systems,” such as operations and communications infrastructure. Investigators determined that housing and water infrastructure are “critical to support the Service members…

Marines have less than two months to select a religious affiliation from a newly condensed list of 30 options the service announced Tuesday, as part of a Pentagon-wide overhaul to reduce the number of faith designations. The new list replaces more than 200 affiliation codes that were previously available to service members, grouping many individual identities into expansive categories. The move comes amid sweeping changes to the military’s religious programs and chaplaincy under Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth. Marines have until Sep. 30 to update their personnel records to reflect the slimmed-down options, the service said in an administrative message. When the Pentagon announced the overarching changes earlier this year, Sean Parnell, a Pentagon spokesman, said the shift was designed to help chaplains understand the composition of their units, not delegitimize religious beliefs. The Marine Corps’ administrative message addressed the intention Parnell described, but said: “as a result of this change, some previously authorized faith and belief designations are no longer individually represented and have been consolidated into broader religious affiliation categories.”Marines are instructed to choose “the most appropriate” identity when making their selection. This is not the only recent change to the military’s approach to faith and chaplaincy under…

After the fall of Burma (now Myanmar) to the Japanese in 1942, the United States Army fielded a contingent to fight alongside the British and Nationalist Chinese aimed toward getting it back. Although generally outnumbered and handicapped by the mountain, jungle and disease on or over which they had to operate, resourceful units such as the American Volunteer Group, or “Flying Tigers,” and Maj. Gen. Frank Merrill’s 5307th Composite Unit (Provisional), acquired a legendary status for courage and ingenuity that outlived the short time frames in which they actually operated. Relative obscurity notwithstanding, less famous units, often as temporary as the Flying Tigers and Merrill’s Marauders, did their share of harassing the enemy and reoccupying Burmese territory. One, the 5332nd Brigade (Provisional), also known as Mars Task Force, was among the most unlikely regimental assemblies of World War II. Consisting as it did of the Redesignated Infantry, the unit largely contained survivors from the Merrill’s sickly but highly experienced fighters; the 1st Chinese Regiment (Separate) and the 124th Cavalry Regiment of the Texas National Guard, activated in 1940 and re-equipped as infantry. Strange though this fighting trio seemed, it, too, got the job done and one of its officers, 1st…
In today’s article, Ryan Domke reviews the Savior Specialist Range Bag. This is the author’s personally owned gear bag, and he offers his thoughts on how well it performs. I’ve owned more than my fair share of range bags over the years. Some were bargain-bin finds that barely lasted a season, others held up decently but lacked proper organization features, and some were so floppy you might as well use a plastic grocery bag. The Savior Specialist’s semi-rigid frame and well-planned organization keep shooting gear sorted and within reach when it counts. Over the last few years, I’ve noticed Savior Equipment appearing on my social media feed quite a bit, but it wasn’t until SHOT Show 2024 that I had some of its products physically in my hands. This particular bag caught my attention, likely due to my range bag at the time not being up to par. The Specialist, as Savior named it, is not just another nylon sack with a few pockets and cheap zippers holding it together. You can tell it was designed by people who actually shoot and understand what a range trip actually entails. Put through countless range sessions, this tactical range bag holds its…
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! RIVERHEAD, N.Y. — Asa Ellerup, the ex-wife of convicted Long Island serial killer Rex Heuermann, said through her attorney Friday that the 62-year-old architect “got what he deserved” when a New York judge hit him with the maximum possible sentence this week for a string of murders between 1993 and 2010.”She believes the sentence is appropriate for his crimes, and obviously he got what he deserved,” said Ellerup’s attorney, Bob Macedonio. “You can’t kill eight people. She’d never condone any of that.”Heuermann has not yet been in contact with his ex-wife or children since being transferred out of the Suffolk County Jail Thursday, Macedonio said. He was being processed at Green Haven Correctional Facility in Stormville, New York, but it was not immediately clear where he will serve his sentence.FOLLOW FOX TRUE CRIME ON FACEBOOK Ellerup infamously revealed that she now sleeps in the room where her ex tortured and killed seven of the eight victims in the latest episode of “The Gilgo Beach Killer: House of Secrets” docuseries on Peacock.”The brutal truth is that Rex Heuermann said he dismembered the bodies in this room,” she says in the episode. “That is…
A U.S. Air Force special operations unit pioneered a new ammunition-linking machine in an effort to save the force millions by upcycling rounds. The 1st Special Operations Wing, located at Hurlburt Field, Florida, uses millions of 30 mm rounds from retiring A-10 Thunderbolt IIs without an assigned platform for use on AC-130J Ghostriders, according to a Wednesday release.The release states that the service expects to transfer hundreds of thousands of rounds a year to Air Force Special Operations Command, which the unit serves in, for the gunships.Since the A-10s utilize unlinked ammunition while the AC-130Js require continuous belts for “automatic, high-rate feeding,” the new machine needs to overcome that challenge by connecting 15 rounds in seconds. This process shifts munitions management to airmen instead of external contractors, the announcement says.“Vendors wanted roughly $9 million to do 200,000 rounds,” a munitions functional manager assigned to AFOSC said in the release. “It’ll just cost the command around $10,000 in shipping charges to move ammo, but it’s a direct-cost savings.”The initiative boosts the service’s “operational footprint” and can save around $4 million annually for the force, the statement reads. The repurposing of ammunition also improves airmen’s training through the increase in availability with…
Some people get the call to make knives later in life, or situate it as a side hustle for years before fully committing – but not Carley Perkins, founder and one-woman show at up-and-coming shop Darlington Edgecraft. “I actually went down the rabbit hole in high school,” she tells us. “I would watch people making knives on YouTube, and I was like: I want to do that!” After high school, Perkins laid out the roadmap for what would eventually become Darlington. She went to school to become a welder, working with metal in a different way, as she saved up the cash for her first step into the knife world: an apprenticeship under Andy Roy of Fiddleback Forge. For many enthusiasts, it would be tempting to prolong that apprenticeship as long as possible, enjoying working at a famous custom outfit. But Perkins was already envisioning a shop of her own. “I was ready to go the second I walked into Andy’s shop,” Perkins recalls. “I had been dreaming about this for a long time and already had a brand book. I think Andy was taken aback!” The stint at Fiddleback helped Perkins develop her approach to knife making, and appreciate…
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! A.J. Brown is already putting in work with his New England Patriots teammates after months of trade rumors led to the Philadelphia Eagles finally shipping the three-time Pro Bowl wide receiver to Foxborough.It’s a marriage that both sides were seeking, with Brown’s frustrating 2025 campaign coming to an end with a Wild Card Round loss to the San Francisco 49ers at home. Now, he slots right in as the team’s top receiver with Stefon Diggs out after just one year.The Patriots are the reigning AFC champions, though they were unable to notch another ring after the Seattle Seahawks beat them in Super Bowl LX earlier this year. But they’re hoping the addition of Brown, to go along with their young, dynamic roster, is what they need to get back.

The triple-barreled Luftwaffe Drilling is proof that the German air force took its survival guns very seriously.Beginning in World War I, there was a serious debate over how to arm aircrews. Many pilots carried a sidearm before planes were even armed, and the apocryphal story concerning the beginning of aerial combat is that the first “dogfight” was with pistols from passing pilots. This then quickly evolved into rifles—rifles with extended magazines, multiple pistols and then finally (and thankfully) machineguns being usefully mounted on aircraft.As aerial warfare evolved, aircraft were armed with an array of machineguns, cannon, rockets, bombs and eventually air-to-air missiles. However, all of these armaments generally did the pilot little good if he or she was shot down. Space constraints meant, and still mean, that everything carried by aircrew must be compact, and it all has to have a use. There is no room for superfluous equipment.Most pilots during World War II had little more than perhaps pistol, a compass and an escape map. Some U.S. naval aviators had sealed kits with trade goods in them including gold coins that would theoretically allow them to bribe their way to safety, along with life rafts and some basic survival…
This article was originally published by Michael Snyder at The End of the American Dream. Those who believe that the global energy crisis is going to be magically solved by a “memorandum of understanding” that is already being violated by both sides are going to be in for a very rude awakening. As you will see below, the Iranians have continued to launch drones at commercial vessels in the Strait of Hormuz. How are shipowners and insurance companies supposed to feel comfortable while this is going on? In the “memorandum of understanding”, Iran agreed to allow commercial vessels to travel through the Strait at no charge for a period of 60 days. Hopefully, that will actually happen. After the 60-day period is done, the Iranians have already announced that they are going to go back to charging ships to pass. Any ships that do not pay up will be subject to attack. Meanwhile, global oil supplies will just continue to get tighter and tighter. Over the past couple of months, the U.S. has been the supplier of last resort for the entire world. This has kept oil prices at reasonable levels. But once our stockpiles are gone, we won’t be…
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! President Donald Trump signaled he is likely to back Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Israel’s upcoming elections, dangling a potentially powerful endorsement even as he has been at odds with the Israeli leader publicly over the tensions in Iran and Lebanon.”I’ll have to look at who’s running, but I like Bibi very much. I would be most likely to endorse him,” Trump said in an interview with Israeli public broadcaster KAN News, using Netanyahu’s nickname, the Jerusalem Post reported Thursday.”But I need to see who is running,” Trump added. “I have a good relationship with Bibi, but he needs to be more rational. I am willing to meet with him. He’s doing a very good job; he’s got to be a little bit more rational.”‘BIBI’S HAIR ON FIRE’: TRUMP-NETANYAHU PUBLIC ‘RIFT’ MASKED UNIFIED FRONT AGAINST IRAN, ANALYST SAYS The remarks came as Trump has offered increasingly pointed criticism of his longtime political ally, while the U.S. pushes ahead with Middle East diplomacy involving Iran and Lebanon.Axios reported earlier this month that Trump lashed out at Netanyahu during a call over Israel’s actions in Lebanon, with one U.S. official summarizing Trump’s message…
