The Kershaw Link 1776BW is a rugged everyday-carry (EDC) knife. It weighs in at 4.3 ounces and has a 3.25 inch, drop-point, hollow-ground, blackwashed-finish blade made of 420HC steel that is 0.1 inches thick. The assisted-opening blade is reliably deployed via a flipper, and is held open by a liner lock. The glass-filled nylon (gfn) handle provides an excellent grip. Overall length is 7.6 inches. Best of all, the Kershaw Link is made in the USA. The particular model that I tested has been discontinued.

As one of the most competitive niches within the firearms world, the micro-compact handgun category is a crowded one. Smith & Wesson firmly staked its territory within this category when it released the M&P Shield in 2012. Over the years, the company has continually improved the design, with the updated 2.0 model and the Shield Plus. Lessons learned from both the Shield lineup and the Bodyguard 2.0 series introduced last year have been applied to the new-for-2025 Shield X. The new Shield X combines features from both the Shield Plus and the Bodyguard 2.0. A locked-breech, semi-automatic pistol chambered for…

In the 1970s, the German federal police sought a replacement for its existing stock of World War II-era sidearms, and it put out a request to firearm manufacturers to offer solutions. SIG Sauer, Walther and Heckler & Koch all developed contenders, and the design that ultimately won out was the Heckler & Koch P7, one of the most unique police sidearms ever made.

Almost any savory dish you cook with water will be tastier if cooked with a vegetable broth or meat broth. So throughout a week of cooking (and harvesting), I set aside less desirable parts of vegetables and bones to make broth when I have accumulated enough to make a pot or two. I often time the cooking in advance of making rice, or beans so I can cook those carbohydrates in the broth. Making Vegetable Broth The vegetables for broths can be any and all.
