Kizer has brought in a new custom collaborator for one of their new 2025 releases, and it’s a creepy one. This is the Tomb, and it is a design from veteran bladesmith Bradley Diaz, channeling the visual style of the coffin-style traditional knife pattern.

ADELPHI, Md. — U.S. Army scientists have developed a new surface treatment that could lead to more efficient and longer-lasting batteries for military applications. The team at the U.S. Army Combat Capabilities Development Command Army Research Laboratory, known as DEVCOM ARL, created a process that treats multivalent metal electrodes with an acidic solution, creating an ultra-thin protective layer that improves overall battery performance. “This quick, commercially viable treatment process creates a unique interphase layer that’s thinner than a human hair, yet significantly impacts how rechargeable zinc batteries perform,” said Dr. Travis Pollard, a chemist at DEVCOM ARL. “For Soldiers, this…

Finding myself alone as I enter the roundabout-style freeway on-ramp, I stab the throttle and start to slide around the partially wet patch of pavement. The 2025 Acura MDX Type S Advance holds the road remarkably well, as the SH-AWD system transfers torque in various ways to all four corners and keeps it tracking true, which allows me to accelerate onto the interstate at car chase speeds. Good fun! Mechanically speaking, this experience rightly feels just like the 2022 Acura MDX Type S did, as virtually nothing changed. But this Type S now has Advance at the end of the…

Camping and food go hand in hand, especially when car camping affords you the luxury of a two-burner stove. And when good grub is on the line, not just any stove will do. That’s why we’ve been testing the best camping stoves for multiple seasons in a row, and have fired up nearly 25 different options in our quest. A good camp stove should fire up quickly, provide a steady stream of heat to get things rolling, and be able to dial it back for precision work like simmering or sautéing. Our top pick, the Camp Chef Everest 2X, has…

SHOT Show 2025 brought out the best in the firearms industry, and we got our hands on some of the hottest rifles hitting the market this year. From precision bolt guns built for long-range dominance to rugged, no-frills hunting rifles designed to get the job done, the show floor was packed with innovation. After a windy day on the range in Nevada, we were a bit confused about where all the hunting rifles were. The place seemed far more reserved than years prior, and some brands were notably absent. Fortunately, we found exactly what we sought once we hit the…
