Behold, a new Benchmade model has arrived – or rather, a new Benchmade series, because the Slipridge comes in both fixed and folding versions, designed for outdoors use. No company does a drop point quite like Benchmade, and the company has lavished a very good one on the Slipridge knives. In both formats it is well-proportioned, with a nice radial grind around and down from the swedge, and a wear-resistant stonewash finish. The fixed blade Slipridge is the bigger of the two, of course, with a 3.7-inch blade length – but the folder isn’t far behind, measuring 3.5 inches. The steel here is AUS8 – just kidding. It’s MagnaCut, of course! The stuff has earned its stripes in just about every knife role there is, from culinary applications to rust resistant waterside utility jobs, so the Slipridges should inspire confidence in the outdoorsmen who take them on treks and trips. The fixed blade Slipridge bears a strong resemblance to its folding sibling Ergonomically there is much similarity between folder and fixie as well. Both formats have chunky guards that beetle over a single wide but shallow finger groove. The most prominent difference in handle silhouette is at the butt end:…

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! Sen. John Kennedy, R-La., was readying a long-shot attempt at regulating an industry that has, in recent weeks, spurred fears and anxiety about human annihilation.He planned to ram through his bill, which would require artificial intelligence (AI) companies to have a kill switch for rogue AI, on the Senate floor. But his attempt Wednesday night was blocked by Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky. He told Fox News Digital that he feared there was little desire from Republicans to do anything to regulate AI.”There’s no appetite in my caucus to do anything that I can say,” Kennedy said.HAWLEY TAKES AIM AT ‘CORPORATE WELFARE’ AFTER GOP-BACKED TAX BREAK BOOSTED CONTROVERSIAL INDUSTRY Paul contended the following day that regulating something “so pervasive as AI throughout our economy” would require hearing from people who are involved in the industry and having a debate over the regulatory structure.”I think it would be crazy to get on the floor one day and regulate an entire industry,” Paul told reporters.Still, the anxiety over the unfettered evolution of AI has spread like wildfire after reports that rogue bots began acting on their own, but it’s an issue that Congress has had…

China is devoting enormous efforts — from submarines to ballistic missiles — to destroy America’s aircraft carriers.The strategy prompted a U.S. think tank to ask why America couldn’t do the same and sink China’s growing fleet of carriers.The think tank, the Center for Strategic and International Studies, devised a plan to target Chinese carriers by using many of the same tactics that China would use against American flattops.“China’s expanding carrier force presents a strategic vulnerability that the United States and its allies can exploit, rather than merely a challenge to U.S. dominance,” argues a CSIS report, titled “Flip the Script.”“Instead of treating U.S. carriers as hunted platforms, focusing on how to defend U.S. assets, this report argues that the United States and allied Pacific powers can — and should — go on the offense, becoming the hunters instead of the hunted in this near-peer competition,” it continues.For years, China has painted a bullseye on American carriers, including building a full-sized mockup of a U.S. carrier in the Taklamakan Desert. Beyond the poetic justice of replying in kind, targeting Chinese carriers exploits the same sensitivities that Americans have about their vessels.Just as losing a Ford-class carrier would deeply humiliate Washington, sinking…

It’s been a problem as long as the existence of modern communications: Despite the need for commands to have accurate contact information for military spouses, some service members, military wives or husbands simply don’t want to be reached.The failure of troops to provide phone numbers for spouses in the Air Force Personnel Accountability and Assessment System, however, can carry dire consequences. Chief of Space Operations Gen. Douglas Scheiss recalled an incident in which he and his wife, Debbie, needed to reach a spouse whose husband had died in Syria. But when they called the number on file, the phone simply rang and rang. It was the number for the airman’s cell phone.“The number we were calling [was wrong] because he didn’t want his wife’s number to be on something,” Scheiss said during a forum on military families at the Air & Space Forces Association annual conference in Oxon Hill, Maryland, on Wednesday. “We are the most connected people in the world … but when the time is needed to contact people … don’t take away that ability for a spouse to be connected.”The Air Force is launching an effort to improve the service’s ability to collect accurate contact information for…

Bouillon cubes are a dehydrated broth usually preserved and packaged in a small, block form. They are typically wrapped in foil and kept in a jar for storage. They’re sold in every grocery store and usually find themselves in most home pantries. Some flavors include chicken, beef and vegetable. The primary benefit of any bouillon cube is its ability to add an instant, savory flavor to any recipe. But another benefit that is particularly relevant is its long and stable shelf life. This makes it an ideal addition to any long-term food storage as a dependable and instant flavor enhancer for meals often made with the basic staples common in any food stock pile. It’s also highly portable and easy to use. Want to save this post for later? Click Here to Pin It On Pinterest! A Brief History of Bouillon Cubes The concept of bouillon cubes was created by Julius Maggi in 1908. He was a Swiss food manufacturer and he called his new idea “Bouillonwürfel.” It wasn’t long before a British food company called OXO started producing their own variations in 1910 and introduced the term “bouillon cube.” In a short period of time the concept spread around…

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! A college student photographed with a cake mocking Charlie Kirk’s death is at the center of a campus controversy that has prompted the University of Utah to investigate two College Republicans for charges of misconduct after one posted the photo online.On Sept. 10, 2026, the one-year anniversary of the conservative activist’s public murder, a woman approached a group of College Republicans at an event on the school’s campus and presented them with a cake. The words “Happy Kirkiversary” were written in red icing on the white cake.Students Riley Beesley, the chairman of the school’s College Republicans chapter, and Rylie Barnes, also a member of the group, took exception to the stunt on a campus less than an hour’s drive from another college campus where Kirk was assassinated last year.Barnes posted a photo of the cake to her X account, it quickly went viral and led to an anonymous X user identifying the student as Sara Larsen.

The U.S. Navy awarded defense startup Castelion $200 million for the production of its Blackbeard hypersonic missile, a low-cost, scalable weapon that can be fielded across carrier strike groups, the service announced Tuesday.The Navy championed the contract as one of the first successful examples of the Department of the Navy Rapid Capabilities Office and how it “has adapted its acquisition structure to more rapidly meet the needs of the warfighter. … By leveraging advanced commercial manufacturing methods and a vertically integrated production line, this landmark program introduces immediate ‘affordable mass’ to the fleet.”Blackbeard is “an air-launched, hypersonic strike weapon that provides carrier-based strike fighters with a responsive, long-range, high-speed strike option against maritime and land targets, enhancing survivability against advanced air defenses while significantly increasing magazine depth,” the release notes.The missile, according to Inside Defense, is intended to serve as a standoff weapon with a 200-nautical-mile range, arming aircraft including the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter and the F/A-18/E/F Super Hornet.The Navy has long sought an air-launched hypersonic anti-surface missile and, since 2021, has pursued an air-breathing hypersonic cruise missile through the program dubbed Hypersonic Air-Launched Offensive Anti-Surface Warfare, or HALO, according to earlier reporting from The War Zone.In subsequent years,…

The world of defensive-style shooting has long been filled with controversy and differences of opinion. One point we might all agree on is that the road to success involves putting decisive hits on an adversary in the shortest possible time. But how we achieve this has been open to debate for years. I got interested in shooting handguns some time during the Age of Aquarius, and quickly found out that a great deal of commitment was required in order to be at the top of the game. When I began my career as a law enforcement officer, a significant part of my training included a comprehensive indoctrination into the combative aspects of running a gun. Red dot aiming, iron-sighted fire or point shooting? Decades of argument haven’t settled which index gets hits fastest under stress. This was very different than the informal target shooting I had previously been exposed to. I’ll confess to being a less than stellar performer at first, but after some solid instruction and practice, I felt pretty good about my abilities to run a handgun. No doubt, peer pressure weighed into the equation as most of the officers in my outfit could shoot very well and…
