A gaming laptop that pumps out 300W of combined processor and graphics power shouldn’t fit in a normal backpack. But MSI says its new Raider 16 Max does exactly that.

Most folding knives are built from separate pieces screwed together. Integral folders are different. The entire handle is carved from a single block of material using a CNC machine, which takes serious precision and usually costs serious money. Most integral folders start around $300.

Most mini EDC knives try to cram full-size ambitions into compact frames. The SpearEdge from Edgelet goes the other direction: one curved blade, one cutting concept, packed into a titanium body that, at 47.7mm closed, should be easy to forget you’re carrying.
