By Peter Suciu Posted in #History There were several significant battles of the Pacific War, beginning with the Attack on Pearl Harbor in December 1941, the Battle of the Coral Sea in May 1942, the Battle of Midway in June, and then the Guadalcanal Campaign from August 1942 to February 1943. The latter was the first major Allied offensive against Japan, and it effectively ended the Japanese offensive efforts, putting Tokyo on the defensive in the Pacific Theater for the rest of the war. Moreover, while the Battle of the Philippine Sea in June 1944 was a…

I hit the range to test out Ruger’s RXD 910Ti, a very unique and versatile 10mm suppressor.Without question, we have solidly entered the age of the suppressor. The sound damping device commonly referred to as a “silencer” has now become the most popular firearms accessory.Three things led us to this moment.The first was the introduction of the .300 AAC Blackout cartridge, which elevated general interest in suppressors. The second was the establishment of mail-order suppressors by Silencer Central. And the third was the passage of the Big Beautiful Bill last year that eliminated the $200 tax on suppressors.Probably, to no…

Our BCCI family is saddened to share the news of the passing of Tim Lindsey who served as President of the Buck Collectors Club with passion and pride.

We hold his family and loved ones in our thoughts during this difficult time.…

For Berghaus, that’s the northeast of England, where rain-washed fells beckon adventurous folk to explore a world apart from cramped flats. When Berghaus founders Gordon Davison and Peter Lockey first heeded that call in the mid-1960s, there was no place a Geordie boy could go to buy kit worthy of a good country ramble, let alone the high alpine ranges they longed to explore. So…

If you haven’t found Jon Gadget on Youtube, you need to go subscribe now. Jon is probably the best exemplar of what I like to think of as “European EDC.” The heavy restrictions on knives and the easy travel from country to country has resulted in an entirely different perspective on EDC. Jon’s perspective is heavily informed by both these things—the knives are all slip joints (mostly SAKs) and a lot of his recommendations are for light, travel-friendly items organized into easily packable and swappable kits. All of this is a fascinating example of insular evolution or “island syndrome.” The…

This was an interesting video. I think the AI design is a pretty good one, in that it is a utilitarian fixed blade that would probably do a good job across a range of tasks. There is still a lot of maker discretion in how he does the grind and such.  I think a better test would be to have AI design a blade, and do as much of the fabrication via CNC, with absolutely minimal human hands on. This reminds me of a tweet I read the other day… We have a disembodied intelligence designing things to be made…
