Adlington, United Kingdom: Global workwear textiles manufacturer Carrington Textiles marked a successful return to A+A in Düsseldorf with the launch of 13 new fabrics and the official debut of their redesigned Fabric Collection Guides. The stand attracted a high number of visitors across the four days of the exhibition, with excellent feedback on both the new products and the innovative format of the guides. Paul Farrell, Sales Director at Carrington Textiles, said: “We were delighted with the response at A+A. The new fabrics were extremely well received, with customers particularly interested in how we are pushing the boundaries with stretch,…

Once I come to a complete stop on a barren straight patch of Texas highway, the engine automatically shuts off. Undeterred, I hold the brake with my left foot and bury the accelerator with my right foot. Nothing happens. That is, until I lift my left foot from the brake. In the blink of an eye, the engine kicks on and the electric motor launches the Palisade off the line. Soon enough, the turbo four-cylinder reaches its horsepower peak, and the nearly 200-inch-long, three-row crossover hustles its way toward triple-digit speeds in short order. Clearly, traditional methods of accelerating a…

Kizer designer Jonathan Styles has a nice-looking premium hitting shelves now, the Topsail. Sized for EDC and dressed to impress with four different eye-catching configurations, the Topsail is both a statement piece and a usable Kizer tool. Styles, who hails from Newfoundland, Canada, hopped into the knife field in 2019 – but despite being a relative newcomer, he has managed to cultivate a pretty portly production piece portfolio for himself, many pieces of which bear the Kizer imprint. In fact, the company liked his work so much that the brought Styles on as an exclusive designer, where he puts continues…

Every year, I scour the annual SEMA Show to find the best new vehicles and products on display. The 2025 show had some highlights, but was thin on innovation and truly new products worth talking about. There is little doubt that the pandemic, supply chain issues, tariffs, and economic uncertainties have impacted the automotive aftermarket. Business consolidation remains a prevailing trend in the industry. The SEMA Show is the largest car show in the world, the second-largest trade show in the world, and is focused on the automotive aftermarket. While it is primarily an industry trade show, it is becoming…

NASHVILLE, Tenn., (November, 2025) — As the country celebrates Veterans Day and National Entrepreneurship Month, U.S. Army veteran and entrepreneur Austin Holmes, founder of Signal Raptor, shines a light on how veterans are shaping the future of technology through mission-driven innovation. This is a purpose-driven tech company in the business of digital trust and secure communication, reflecting Holmes’s journey from combat to the C-suite, where integrity, accountability, and dependability remain the mission. After years serving in the military, Holmes drew parallels between mission-critical communication in the field and the growing need for clarity and security in the digital environment. Signal…

Learn More For years, Alaskans have been gathering on the Fourth of July for a unique and destructive tradition known as the “Glacier View Car Launch.” While most towns and cities in America celebrate the holiday with fireworks displays, local bans on pyrotechnics make it illegal throughout much of the state. The alternative? Launching junkyard vehicles off a 300-foot cliff into an old quarry. The display is nothing short of a demolition extravaganza. In 2025, the event was captured in 4K from a drone’s POV, which…

After more than a year of controversy and court battles, the Michelino Sunseri saga has taken a surprising turn. On Nov. 10, President Donald J. Trump pardoned the ultra-athlete, who in September 2024 was charged with cutting a switchback in Grand Teton National Park (GTNP) during a Fastest Known Time (FKT) attempt. Sunseri was subsequently found guilty in September 2025 for “leaving the Garnet Canyon Trail to use the shortcut of the Old Climber’s Trail.” This is the first time that a presidential pardon has been issued to someone who violated national park trail signage. In a case that has…

There are plenty of frontside skis I’d take into the backcountry because even if they’re a bit heavy on the climb, they’re worth it for the downhill. The reverse has never been true for me. I can’t think of any backcountry-specific skis that really hold up against inbounds-focused skis when it comes to lift-served terrain. On most days when I move from sidecountry laps to resort runs, I swap skis before loading the lift to keep the full-throttle fun going. With Blizzard’s new Zero G 96, that swap might not be necessary. This ski is light enough for long climbs…

By Michael Mills Posted in #Skills I will never forget the first time I heard the phrase “Proficiency in performance, and performance on demand.” I originally heard this several years ago in a high-level federal instructor course, and I have to leave the specific instructor’s name out of the article due to their current position within their respective entity. Needless to say, it’s something that stuck with me. The reason it stuck with me is because it was repeated over and over during some of the most difficult courses of fire I had encountered in an instructor…

Frank Trzaska is KNIFE Magazine’s Military Editor and the author of scores of articles over the years. According to Frank, “I originally started writing about knives in 1996, to keep my thoughts and notes on my collection in order. It just grew from there, including the collection”.

This Article is from the January 2025 issue of KNIFE Magazine. In honor of Veterans Day, we are bringing it out of…
