by Benchmade

Almost 11″ long, the new Station Knife has become my newest go-to knife in the drawer for daily slicing. With a clip point 6″ long blade, it’ll handle any job from dressing game in the field to the dinner prep table.

Available in two models. The 4010BK-01 comes with a DLC finish blade and dark handle. The 4010-02 model I tried, has a stonewashed blade and a light Maple handle. Both share the CPM-154 wear resistant stainless steel blades.

I don’t understand the technology involved, but they tout the Benchmade proprietary SelectEdge technology for it’s sharpness, but I’ll agree that it cuts like nothing else in my rather full cutlery drawer. The 0.114″ thick blade feels ultra sturdy but slices thin slivers like a dream.

Comes with a nice heavy duty plastic sheath to take from kitchen out into the field.

Benchmade also stands behind their knives with a Lifesharp Guarantee – they’ll clean, sharpen and make any adjustments needed for a small handling charge.

This is truly a premium piece of cutlery for the those who demand the best.

Halkon Jacket

Approaching the glaciers of Patagonia in our little Zodiac, my Páramo Halkon Jacket felt like the perfect bridge between utility and subtlety. The Nikwax Analogy fabric kept me dry through splash after splash, but it never felt stiff or noisy — even when I was leaning into the wind or ducking under the hood. The wired peak stayed put no matter how much spray came over the bow.

But what really made it click for me was the storage. Every pocket seemed perfectly tailored for on-the-go photography: there were “dry” bellows pockets for maps or snacks, fleece-lined hand-warmers, and a roomy internal mesh chest pocket that carried my phone, extra batteries, and small gear without feeling bulky. And because of the two-way zipper, I could still wear my life vest without the strap fighting with the jacket — a little usability tweak that made a huge difference when buckling in. In that unpredictable Patagonian weather, this jacket didn’t just protect me — it made my work easier, more efficient, and more comfortable.

HyperJuice 245W USB-C Power Bank

This is the pack I took to South America, and it saved my bacon when my computer charger died before a 10-hour flight home. Plugging the PowerPack into my Lenovo Yoga X1 laptop fully recharged the computer, giving me another 5 hours of use. This is the largest capacity allowed on the plane, and was carefully inspected both coming and going to South America, but when they saw the 27000mAh, 100 watt-hour, 245W rating printed on the case, they let it go right through. Highly recommend it for size and capacity.

The two 100W USB-C and two 65W USB-C Power Delivery ports give anyone the ability to charge four USB-C devices like laptops, tablets, DSLR cameras, smartphones, drones or gaming consoles all at the same time.

But the opportunity was wide open—so they took it.

Innovation is Wide Open’s secret sauce. From design to production to sourcing customer feedback, the team does everything under one roof. The FW25 collection reflects customer demand for more lightweight options and solid basic colors for everyday wear, along with new fun, bold patterns that the brand is already known for.

Old Fitzgerald

As more shoppers look to buy domestically this season – fueled by rising import costs and a renewed appreciation for homegrown craftsmanship – whiskey lovers are gravitating toward local bottles with legacies as rich as their flavor.

Enter Old Fitzgerald Bottled-in-Bond 7-Year-Old Kentucky Straight Bourbon, the historic, circa 1870 bourbon brand’s new flagship expression, and a standout gift this holiday season. Steeped in Kentucky’s rich bourbon heritage, this 100-proof wheated bourbon is aged for 7 years in level-3 charred new American oak barrels. It opens with aromas of graham crackers and honey on the nose, followed by notes of fresh bread, brown sugar, and baking spices on the palate, finishing with a hint of oak.

Beyond the exceptional taste, its signature decanter-style bottle makes a statement – elegant, timeless and worthy of adorning any bar cart.

Testers especially appreciated the signature Chickfly design — a tension-held fly that allows for discreet, on-the-go bathroom breaks outdoors without sacrificing coverage or comfort. With no crotch seam, no risk of awkward outlines, four accessible pockets, and a fit that stays comfortable through activity, monthly cycles, or normal weight fluctuations, these pants felt reliable and flattering in all the right ways. They also noted that sizing lines up well with other popular outdoor brands, making them an easy gift pick.
