The search for a missing California fisherman came to a tragic end this week. Mikey Rijavec, a San Diego–based angler with a large following on social media, went missing on Nov. 11 while fishing alone off the coast of Southern California. That led to a massive rescue effort that included both U.S. and Mexican authorities. But the search ended when Rijavec’s body was found in the water this week near San Cristobal, Mexico, according to an update on a GoFundMe page raising money for the search efforts. Gregory Rijavec, Mikey’s brother, wrote on Nov. 16 that the “countless people involved…

TOPS is taking a crack at a slipjoint with their latest release, the Tex Creek. Although it is outside of the usual TOPS wheelhouse, the Tex Creek has the house style in spades – due in no small part to being designed by company CEO Leo Espinoza. Say, what is it with traditional knives being named after rivers and creeks? Maybe, back in the earliest days of folding knife design, some craftsman put the finishing touches on one of the first every slippies and sat to think about what to call his newest creation. Just when all marketing hope seemed…

The Jeep Gladiator is getting a little historic special edition. The new 2026 Jeep Gladiator Willys ’41 model is a nod to Jeep’s military truck experience — one that will come with beefy steel bumpers, the hood from the Mojave, and some of the coolest Jeep wheels in a long time.

Influenced by the ’41 Concept of 2022, it expanded on the Willys trim and the olive-drab ’41 paint inspired by the original 1941 military Jeeps. You could (and still…

The We Knife Co. designers are getting a bit wild, a tad experimental, with a new model called the Collinear. This one approaches the large EDC folder concept from a new angle – a few new angles, in fact. Officially, We Knife is calling the Collinear’s blade a “reverse tanto,” but it’s definitely a reverse tanto approaching that point where the lines between an R.T. and a Wharncliffe are blurred, if not erased altogether. Well, hairsplitting aside, this is one striking blade, running to a not inconsiderable 3.67 inches in length and made from M390Co; it doesn’t take a ton…

By Robert A. Sadowski Posted in #Guns You’ve heard the expression: If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. Well, the M16A1 wasn’t exactly broke, but after its performance during the Vietnam War the United States Marines Corp requested the M16A1 be “fixed.” Perhaps it would more correct to say modified. By 1979 when the request was received from the Corp, the modern battlefield was changing. Compared to the M14, the M16A1 was lightweight, had little recoil, and was easy to maneuver, but those who foresee the changing nature of warfare identified a need to change. The range…
