We still haven’t quite finished covering all the incoming We Knife Co. models has been announcing lately – and the next up on our reporterly dance card is the Inceptus, a folder from Robert Saniscalchi that cuts loose with an unconventional blade shape. An interesting thing we’ve noticed over the years is that, sometimes, our classification of a knife’s blade can differ from that of its creator’s.

On a cold, rainy night camping in November, I was ready to go to bed. I blew up my inflatable sleeping pad, snuggled into my Exped Terra sleeping bag, and got comfortable. I turned over on my side and heard a distinctive “pop” before I slowly began sinking to the ground. It was everyone’s worst nightmare: My sleeping pad somehow got punctured.

As someone who’s lived in St. Louis, Mo., for nearly a decade, I’m a ride or die for this underrated city. It’s got a diverse, thriving food scene, lovely urban green spaces, and top-tier hiking and climbing within an hour or two drive. One thing I can’t defend, however, is the fact that we have a national park. The famous Gateway Arch became a national park in 2018. Compared with the majesty of places like Yosemite and Glacier, the idea that this nature-less, urban area has that status is ridiculous. And now, thanks to the efforts of local Congresspeople, it’s…
