    Benchmade 535

    S30V Steel | Nebula FatCarbon Scales | Axis Lock | Made in 🇺🇸

    Benchmade Bugout on night stand by lamp and rosary

    Five years ago today, I brought home the first knife in my collection, this Benchmade Bugout. It is the original 535 that came with the Benchmade Blue grivory scales. Last year, as I was playing around with customization, I gave this special knife an upgrade to the beautiful Nebula FatCarbon scales that it wears today. The red, blue, and white look incredible mixed in with the deep blacks. It’s a fitting tribute to the knife that started it all.

  • NATO Is Ukraine’s Future and Always Will Be - WSJ Opinion

    It should be a very simple calculation for Mr. Putin: Get out now while the getting is good, because Europe and the U.S. are committed to raising the Ukrainian military to a NATO standard even without it being a NATO member.

    Mr. Putin has learned his military is no match for a properly equipped NATO force. His Ukraine misadventure is rapidly degrading his ability to compete in the long run. Mr. Putin will continue to pretend his war isn’t a disastrous miscalculation for which his country will be paying for generations to come. The peanut gallery should not be fooled.
