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.
