With Halloween 2025 sadly in the rearview window, many of us are looking for the next big thing to look forward to as we shift into the winter months. Thankfully, Sencut has fans of thumb stud-opening users covered with the incoming Glenspar. “Glenspar:” what does it mean? The dictionary returns no definition of the word, so this may be a name that Sencut coined themselves. As such, it offers no easy inroad into the intended use of this knife: “spar” might imply a tactical role, but what does “glen” mean, and how does it modulate the “spar?” Truth be told,…

When she was exhausted and burned out from a demanding job, Chelsea Rizzo did what many outdoorsy folks do: She planned a thru-hike.

Since starting with a single fleece in 2021, the brand has exploded, building out a diverse product line and acquiring…

Some people are just too damn opinionated about their gear, whether it’s camping, hiking, or just wandering around outdoors. But I never saw that same level of bias in the world of knives. A good knife with good steel was, well, good. And that was true whether it was large or small. But I now find myself in a world where the idea that EDC folding knives for hiking and backpacking should hover around 3 ounces and remain under 7 inches in length. This idea spread like an infection, and now I see people frolicking around in the woods using…

In recent years, I have been mostly known as the “MagnaCut man,” but before MagnaCut, my biggest success was probably with Knife Engineering. When I started my website, Knife Steel Nerds, I hadn’t thought about writing a book because I thought I was doing a website instead. But I soon realized that a website works better for individual articles than it does for introducing an entire subject. So that led me to writing the book Knife Engineering: Steel, Heat Treating, and Geometry. That allowed people to learn the subject in order with all of the appropriate introductory material. The book…

Thanks to a combination of luck, hard work, and stubbornness, I’ve been able to carve out a career that involves skiing all over the globe. Over the last 2 years, my partner Jenny and I have traveled to Norway, Japan, Peru, Austria, Georgia (the country), Iceland, Italy, Canada, and Chile so I could write about resorts, operators, and ski expeditions. We’ve had a lot of laughs, face shots, and high fives, as well as a few lost bags and missed connections. Through it all, I’ve learned one big lesson: less is more. The more ski trips we take — especially international…
