Ka-BarKa-Bar Mark 25
The successor to the fan-favorite Ka-Bar Mark 98, this new version sports a more modern overall style marked by improved ergonomics and futuristic detailing. Measuring 8.75 inches overall, it boasts a 3.75-inch black drop-point blade (with flipper and fuller deployments) alongside a GFN handle. However, if this one doesn’t quite strike your fancy, it has a more aggressive sibling in the Ka-Bar Warthog Folder, which has a similar design language, materials and price.

It is made of brown goat hide suede and is lined with Wack Maria’s original leopard print fabric. Otherwise, it hits all of the classic golf jacket marks with a double button throat latch, elastic cuffs and waist and button flap hand pockets.
Chevrolet2027 Chevrolet Bolt
By popular demand, Chevrolet is bringing back the Bolt for the 2027 model year. As part of the update, it will bring 2.5 times faster peak charging, Chevrolet’s first native NACS port, a new sporty RS trim, upgraded infotainment, added driver assistance tech, bi-directional capability and more. In keeping with its predecessor, the Bolt will be one of America’s most affordable EVs, though it will only return for a limited run.
BelkinBelkin Stage PowerGrip
Belkin’s Stage PowerGrip is a MagSafe portable battery that is shaped like a camera grip, making it easier to hold while capturing photos and videos. It has its own shutter button (which works via a Bluetooth connection to your iPhone) and there’s a small LCD display on the front for showing its remaining battery level. The powerbank itself has a 9,300mAh capacity and wirelessly charges your iPhone. There’s also an integrated retractable USB-C cable and a USB-C port for charging up to two other devices. It’s available in three colors: blue, grey and sand.
MINGMing Polymesh
Ming continues its innovative ways with the Polymesh, a strap/bracelet hybrid unlike anything else on the market. 3D-printed from rugged Grade 5 titanium, the “mesh” strap consists of 1,693 components — including the Tuck Buckle — which are all formed simultaneously and interconnected in a closed loop. The end result looks like mesh but is essentially one single piece, allowing the Polywesh to wear like a strap while offering the feel of a bracelet, giving wearers the best of both worlds. It’s designed to fit all Ming watches with 20mm lug widths, but should fit non-Ming watches too. The Polymesh is priced at CHF 1,500 (~$1,862).
