The Knife Every Man Should Have
Workerman knives are that beautiful combo of good-looking woods (maple, walnut, olive, etc.) and hand-forged steel. Caveat: They’re so nice, they often sell out in minutes. Check it out.


The “Oh Hell Yes!” of Motorcycles
Designed by powersports vets Polaris, the futuristic, three-wheeled Slingshot is a space-age roadster and the first of its kind: a road-ready super trike for adults.
Check it out.


Spy Novels and Naked Women
Two things to read this month: The Kills, a Pynchon-esque journey through the war-torn Middle East. Or skip the spy stuff and get volume four of Odiseo, the thinking man’s erotic art mag. Check it out.

Your Car Is Now “Knight Rider”
Meet Navdy, a super-intelligent head-up display for your car windshield. The five-inch projector beams out an interactive screen for your car window, but never lets your eyes leave the road. Check it out.
