We cover a lot of Boker stuff here, most of it from the highly prolific company’s range Boker Plus line – but Boker also has an entry-level label called Magnum, which gets its own slew of releases alongside its bigger brother. Case in point, the brand new Empery. From start to finish, “elegance” seems to have been the watchword with the Empery. This is an in-house effort, and the Magnum design team started with one of the most innately handsome of blade shapes, the drop point, embellished it here with a very long harpoon swedge that, perhaps due to that…

For model year 2025, Chevrolet added the Trail Boss package as an option for the 2500-class Silverado Heavy Duty. Similar to the 1500 Silverado, the 2500 Trail Boss includes Z71 suspension upgrades, blacked-out bumpers with red recovery hooks, and 20-inch wheels shod in all-terrain tires. A gas V8 comes standard, but the torque-monster Duramax diesel adds towing capacity. This helps the Trail Boss slot in as a somewhat rugged pickup that doesn’t cost or weigh quite as much as the top-spec ZR2 or Bison. I recently spent a week with the diesel Trail Boss, logging plenty of miles in Los…

We have many blessings in this country, not least of which is our Constitutionally guaranteed right to keep and bear arms. At times, the toolbox from which we draw to exercise and defend this right overflows with options. Exhibit A: the ever-growing crop of modular rifles. This bounty can be overwhelming when so many manufacturers claim to offer a one-size-fits-all rifle solution.

Its streamlined profile blends aluminum, steel and polymer. The rifle functions with…

After successfully suppressing the M2A1 and M2A2 .50cal Machine Guns, RD (Radical Defense) began pursuing the next evolution of the original 50 FVS suppressor. The design intent was a modular, more streamlined, lower weight, higher flow suppressor with a reduced form factor. What followed was the 50 GPS (General Purpose Suppressor) Program. 50 GPS utilizes one suppressor with multiple mounting options via taper lock mount muzzle devices. Each muzzle device is designed with specific internal geometries and thread pitches per use on each intended weaponsystem while using the same, standard external geometries; for example,making the same suppressor useable on a…

Genesis now has 60 standalone dealerships in the U.S., an impressive feat considering it’s only been a standalone brand for less than a decade and has only been creating standalone dealerships for 3 years.

After a lifetime of corrective lenses, LASIK opened up a new reality in which Denver’s 300 yearly sunny days became a remarkable opportunity to wear shades…

I am keeping it as a “Sneak Peek”, though for some subscribers that won’t be the case. My December issue arrived today, so I imagine that there will be at least some of you who did as well. Obviously, any time “Bowie No. 1” comes up, it is going to be a good read, and Dr. Batson’s article is a good one. Neal Punchard’s Texas Toothpick appealed to me as a vintage slipjoint collector. Veteran outdoor writer Jim Cobb makes his KNIFE Magazine debut with an article on his visit to White River. Chris Tighe is back, writing about Flat…
