Maciej Torbé has returned to his Civivi stomping ground for a new fixed blade, the Scoopth. The Scoopth falls right in line with previous Civivi/Torbé collabs, which have always been fixed blade models with striking lines. What is a Scoopth? Perhaps only Torbé knows, but it’s certainly fun to say. And the term does seem to evoke an aspect of the knife, in that its wide blade features a compound grind with a big “scoop” on the forward, thinner half of the profile. And there’s another scoop on the spine, just aft of the jimping, lending the Scoopth the quirked up attitude that all Torbé’s work seems to possess. The classy wooden scale model With a cutting edge of 4.9 inches, the Scoopth easily qualifies as an outdoors user, with the beefiness to back it up. The Nitro-V steel used here delivers balanced metrics in terms of toughness and corrosion resistance, and isn’t going to be a bear when the need for a sharpening arises. Torbé’s handle design, while just as characterful as his blade shapes, hews a little closer to the accepted geometries; it’s easy to see sensible cuts and curves beneath the exaggerated styling. The scales are available…

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! Country music star Carly Pearce urged fans to go get checked by doctors when health issues arise.Pearce, 35, reflected on how doctors initially misdiagnosed her before realizing the “Dream Come True” singer suffered from pericarditis. The condition is caused by inflammation of the sac surrounding the heart.”That was something I developed in 2020 and didn’t know what it was for a really long time. It was kind of misdiagnosed, also dismissed,” Pearce explained during an appearance on Rolling Stone’s “Nashville Now.” “‘Oh, you have anxiety. Oh, you have a busy schedule,'” Pearce recalled being told. “And it’s like, no, something’s not right. And so, in 2024, I went public with that just because it took me out for a second. But I’m doing really well. And I haven’t had any kind of major flair. But I think, again, just trying to be honest with people and use my platform to be like, please go get checked because there was something wrong.”The “Church Girl” singer announced she had been diagnosed with an “intense” heart condition called pericarditis in May 2024. Pearce claimed that her health condition was initially “dismissed” by medical professionals, but…

The United Kingdom and France have said that they will not deploy troops to Ukraine unless Russia consents to the move. Moscow has long claimed that it would not ever allow NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organization) troops to build any kind of military presence in Ukraine. Moscow views the Ukraine conflict as a NATO proxy war against Russia. After the 2022 escalation, Western nations sought to isolate Russia diplomatically, but the policy backfired on European NATO members after Washington shifted course under US President Donald Trump in order to pursue a negotiated resolution. –RT A senior diplomatic source told the British newspaper that members of the pro-Kiev “coalition of the willing” have privately conceded that they would “only send our troops if there’s Russian consent.” Zelensky Claims The “Coalition of the Willing” Is Discussing Sending Troops To Ukraine Moscow’s warnings that foreign troops would be considered legitimate military targets are taken seriously, and given that risk, “you need to send a different kind of force,” the source said, adding that Russian opposition has had “a tremendous effect” on the discussions. A European defense source described the proposed mission as “rather hypothetical.” Some Western leaders, including French President Emmanuel Macron, have previously claimed that Russia’s permission…

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! President Donald Trump tore into Reps. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., and Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., Wednesday as “lunatics” after they interrupted his State of the Union address with shouting.”When you watch Low IQ Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib, as they screamed uncontrollably last night at the very elegant State of the Union, such an important and beautiful event, they had the bulging, bloodshot eyes of crazy people,” Trump wrote on Truth Social Wednesday. “LUNATICS, mentally deranged and sick who, frankly, look like they should be institutionalized.””We should send them back from where they came,” he added.The president then took a shot at actor Robert De Niro, who appeared on MS Now Tuesday and told Americans to “resist” Trump. “They should actually get on a boat with Trump Deranged Robert De Niro, another sick and demented person with, I believe, an extremely Low IQ, who has absolutely no idea what he is doing or saying — some of which is seriously CRIMINAL!” Trump wrote. “When I watched him break down in tears last night, much like a child would do, I realized that he may be even sicker than Crazy Rosie O’Donnell, who is right now…

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! Vice President JD Vance spelled out his role in leading the administration’s newly declared “war on fraud” Wednesday after President Donald Trump announced the effort during his State of the Union address.”I don’t know what the top line number is, and I think that’s unfortunate, that nobody has ever tried to take a systematic look at how much fraud there is in the federal government,” Vance said on “America’s Newsroom.””How many illegal aliens are on Medicaid? We know that it’s billions and billions of dollars that should go to American citizens. It’s going to illegal aliens. How many fraudulent daycare centers have been set up where that money should go to American citizens to help their kids get into childcare? Instead, it’s being stolen from them by illegal aliens in our country…”Vance raised concerns that government officials may have “gotten wealthy” or have received campaign donations from fraud benefactors by being “complicit” in the malpractice. He told Fox News that the president has tasked him with taking a “full, whole government approach” to investigating fraud concerns, enlisting the Justice and Treasury Departments to lead probes and locate fiscal records.”We’re going to be…

The story of the MP5 is a wild tale of globe-trotting Nazi scientists, South American battle rifles, and the rapid rearming of Germany in the face of nuclear annihilation. But despite the complexities of its development and inception, the entire system hinges on an accidental discovery and an elementary ancient object: wheels. How did the simple wheel lead to the development of the gold standard of submachine guns? Furthermore, what makes the MP5 so damn good, and can it actually compete with modern designs? Rest easy, my philomathic friend, by the end of this article, you’ll know all these things and be able to both annoy your wife and impress your friends with your seemingly endless knowledge of German gats. DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ROLLER-DELAYED AND ROLLER-LOCKED The mighty wheel was integral to the design of the most infamous machine gun of the Second World War: the MG-42. But interestingly, this wasn’t a roller-delayed gun, but a roller-locked one. The academic difference between the two stems from the bearing surfaces that the small wheels or rollers on the bolt’s side use to either lock the action or delay its rearward travel. If this seems like a purely semantic distinction, that’s not totally…

FORT STEWART, Ga. — Spc. Lathan Thomley enlisted in the Army to become a cavalry scout. Now, he spends hours practicing on a laptop simulator before piloting drones over Fort Stewart’s training area.Thomley is part of 2nd Armored Brigade Combat Team’s Transformation in Contact initiative, or TIC, where junior soldiers on the ground are at the forefront of experimenting with new drone capabilities and helping to drive the direction of Army doctrine from the ground up. In armored brigades built around tanks and heavy firepower, the approach reflects how lessons from Ukraine are pushing leaders to rethink how formations move and survive on a battlefield saturated with aerial surveillance. Selected internally, soldiers at Fort Stewart say operators start on everyday computer simulation programs before transitioning to real flights. “We really train on regular computers — it’s a little gaming app called Liftoff — and you fly drones on there,” Thomley said while demonstrating a small reconnaissance quadcopter’s capabilities on an unusually cool Georgia day. “From that, you learn how a drone moves and how you need to angle it to make it go a certain way.” Liftoff is a commercially available drone flying simulator that allows all types of users…
