Cold Steel
For Cold Steel, the Recon 1 might be the brand’s greatest folding knife of all time. At the least, it’s among the brand’s most recognizable and beloved silhouettes. Earlier this year, the brand launched a new version that saw the typical S35VN steel swapped for MagnaCut super steel, giving the knife a performance boost. Now, the tanto-shaped blade edition also gets the MagnaCut treatment, which will surely please the tactical crowd. Of course, it still has its Atlas Lock, G-10 handle scales and more.
Manthey
To mark its 30th anniversary, Manthey unveils two limited-edition race cars — each capped at 15 units for a combined run of 30. The Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 RS Clubsport MR 30 closes out a decade of mid-engine Cayman development with a healthy diet and revised aerodynamics proven by a top-20 finish at the 24 Hours of the Nürburgring. The Porsche 911 GT3 Cup MR 30 packs a 4.2-liter flat-six producing 560 horsepower, paired with recycled carbon bodywork and a Nordschleife-honed aero and cooling package.
Chrome Industries
Chrome’s Japan crew designed this commuter-ready 22-liter backpack to handle the full day’s load — devices, EDC essentials, hydration and a stop at the market on the way home. Ample internal (padded laptop sleeve, two water bottle/umbrella pockets) and external storage (three slots and a zip pocket) help you stay organized, while padded mesh shoulder straps and an adjustable sternum strap keep the carry comfortable. A shell made of silicone-coated polyester (Matte Black colorway) or crinkle 400D recycled nylon (Chalk colorway) with a 150D recycled polyester liner and a lifetime warranty round out this unique package.
Frey Ranch
Frey Ranch expands its limited-edition Harvester Series with Third Harvest, a $300 American whiskey featuring an unusual ingredient making its debut in the Nevada distillery’s lineup. Triticale, a hybrid of wheat and rye, accounts for more than a quarter of the five-grain blend, lending a distinctive character that draws from both parent grains. Developed with Master Blender Nancy Fraley, the 123.4-proof expression combines whiskeys aged five to eight years, with the distillery reporting flavors ranging from citrus and honey to toasted sweets. Bottles will initially be offered through Frey Ranch’s membership club and at its Nevada tasting room, followed by an online lottery beginning November 16.
Kestin
Built for life in the Scottish Highlands, the Kestin Cuillin Down Jacket features a 100-percent recycled nylon ripstop shell with a PFC-free DWR finish in a retro-inspired onion-stitched quilting. Inside, 600-fill-power, 90/10 down keeps a strong warmth-to-weight ratio. A two-way YKK zipper, elastic cuffs, storm hood, drawcord waist and two zippered hand warmer pockets round out the amenities. It is available in Vintage Red, Light Olive and Black.
