But they had a team that understood the key rule of being great—make as few mistakes as possible. When you get to the level of MLB, UFC, F1, or the NBA, everyone is supremely talented, everyone is great. And winners are largely people that make the fewest mistakes or make mistakes last. Once the talent is in place, greatness is making fewer mistakes. Torii Hunter was a speedy defensive superstar. Jaques Jones seemingly never made an error. Christian Guzman could hit and sucked up ground balls like a Shop Vac. Uniting all of these players, in addition to speed, was…

The Divine Knives of Walter BrendBy Christopher Tighe As a child in Davenport, Florida, Walter Brend made toy knives and swords out of wood and was encouraged by the compliments of adults who saw that he had an eye for graceful curving lines that are now a hallmark of his knives. As an early teen, while hiking with friends in the woods, Walter used a large stag-handled hunting knife with a hidden tang as a pry bar to rescue a friend pinned under a log. In freeing his friend, Walter bent the knife’s handle 90 degrees to the blade. That…

FORT POLK, La. — The Virginia Army National Guard’s Staunton-based 116th Mobile Brigade Combat Team is testing its combat readiness during a Joint Readiness Training Center, or JRTC, rotation May 31 – July 1. The rotation marks a historic milestone for the brigade and the Army National Guard.

Landing exactly in the middle of the month, the June Buck of the Month is here. It’s a classy, dressy version of the discontinued Buck 532 Bucklock. Sometimes knife names just confuse us, but we have to hand it to Buck when it comes to the Bucklock – they accomplished a fine piece of wordplay here. Because, you see, it is a folding knife with a back lock, and hey, doesn’t “Buck” sound a little bit like “back?” Fantastic. Compared to the omnipresent 110, the Bucklock is smaller, with a 3-inch drop point blade, thinner, and actually a bit more…

If you want to explore the world of knives, beware: It is a slippery slope. In short order, I went from someone who only owned a single Swiss Army Knife to having shelves full of fixed blades, folders, automatics, and an array of sharpening paraphernalia. And as my collection has grown, so too has my mindset around knives. Where initially I wanted only the most useful all-around knife — a blade whose many functions would dictate its form — now I see knives the way I see bicycles or cars: Some are for everyday utility, some are for hard work or a…

Colorado hunters and anglers are trying to get ahead of the next wildlife ballot fight. A proposed constitutional amendment, currently listed as Initiative 302, would create a right to hunt, fish, and harvest fish and wildlife in Colorado. The measure has cleared the state Title Board, which means supporters can collect signatures. It has not yet qualified for the 2026 ballot. To get there, backers need 124,238 valid signatures by early August. Because the measure would amend the Colorado Constitution, supporters also have to meet Colorado’s distribution requirement across all 35 state Senate districts. If it makes the ballot, it…
