Caswell “Morphing Karambit” Utility Knife Makes Switchblade Looks A Toy
Calling all pocket knife and avid camping enthusiasts. This is a premium pocket knife you will want to have in your knife. I know. The look is impressive, but the Caswell “Morphing Karambit” (MKV2) Utility Knife impresses with more than just the alien-ish appearance. It is how it flicks open when your hand is securely holding it. Made no mistake, though. This isn’t a switchblade. It is not an automatic knife, nor is it an assisted-open knife (which are illegal in many places). Continue reading Caswell “Morphing Karambit” Utility Knife Makes Switchblade Looks A Toy
This Smart Sensor Is For Folks Who Always Need To Be In The Know
Move over smart tracker because there is a new sensor that does a lot more than telling you where your stuff are. It is called MicroBot Sense.

Boltron Adds Wireless Charging To Your Car Without Looking Hideous
Personally, I am not a fan of having a phone charging cradle in the car. I think it spoils the beautiful interior of the car and makes the car too much like an Uber ride. No offense to Lyft or Uber drivers, though. But the Boltron may just change my mind. May. Boltron, while sounding like Ultron or Voltron, is related to either in anyway. Boltron is a product of a Hong Kong-based gadget maker which aims to solve style conscious drivers’ woes of ugly smartphone charger/holder while promising to be super safe and also adding wireless charging capability to your phone.

Meet Wado, The Ethical And Sustainable 80s-inspired Sneakers
Recently, a crowdfunding campaign on Kickstarter peddling sustainable shoes from a Spaniard startup piqued our interest. Now, sustainable footwear is not new, but if you look around, they are often quite pricey and that is one of the reason why we are drawn to the Wado Sustainable Sneakers.
