The Spyderco Domino is the latest in the company’s line of flipper knives. Designed by Eric Glesser, this performance-driven knife offers a minimalist profile with refined ergonomics. Its trademarked Round Hole is positioned to offer optimal leverage and is supported by special ball-bearing washers in the pivot that reduce friction. This provides a smooth, reliable opening; and in the open position the flipper practically disappears into the grip-friendly contours of the handle.
Made of precision machined CTS- XHP stainless steel the Domino’s blade features a full-flat grind for superior edge geometry and a distal taper with an acute point. It is mated to a handle that consists of a solid titanium scale on one side and a titanium liner and carbon fiber/G-10 laminate scale on the other, where the solid titanium scale forms the foundation of the Domino’s sturdy Reeve Integral Lock (R.I.L). This is knife that is worth flipping for.
Polara Golf has introduced a driver aimed at those “golfers who want to achieve maximum distance,” which would assume would be everyone. The new Advantage Driver features an ultra-thin Beta-Titanium Face that promises to lighter, stronger and more resilient than standard titanium drivers. This can create a “trampoline effect” that can make shots go the distance.
Last month Competitive Cyclist, an online specialty bicycle retailer, announced that it is reviving the Merlin brand. The titanium bicycle maker, which had been one of the dominant brands making titanium bikes in the 1990s, was purchased by Competitive Cyclists in 2011.
We knew we’d hear good things about Bush Smarts, and one product that caught our eye was the Bear Star, a titanium line thrower that includes 50 feet of highly-visible cable. It features a simple design but one that should make throwing a line a little easier. This can allow picnic baskets and other things that you want to keep away from pesky bears tied up where they can get to it. Smart idea, so once again Bush Smarts lives up to its name!
Cast off with the ForTiTude Fishing titanium spinning reel and you can forget about rusting or pitting, even in salt water. This reel features a solid titanium exterior along with solid titanium parts, making it 30 percent lighter than aluminum, which might not sound like much but after a long day of casting perhaps you’ll see it is worth the extra cost. But this reel should be durable for endless years of fishing as well, and there is even a lifetime warrant with free replacement of all parts. So cast away!
Earlier this week we noted that the Cell Machined Survival Baton would protect your important stuff while camping or hiking. If that aluminum survival baton wasn’t enough for you consider the Sentinel, another survival baton/rod. This one is made from grade 2 titanium and features loops that can be hooked to rings, clips, and lanyards. Currently the creators are looking to raise funds through a Kickstarter project, with plans to bring these out in a variety of sizes. As the Sentinel is titanium it is waterproof and corrosion resistant, and could be made in multiple sizes so these can hold cash, medicine or just about anything else you might need for judgment day! 
The long and winding road can often seem less long and a whole lot more fun with the right road bike. Today is the third and final day on the show floor and we continued to take in the sights of the road bikes, including Litespeed’s new C1 (above). 
Canadian custom bike maker Guru Bikes, which is known for its innovative DFU (Dynamic Fit Unit) for creating the perfect fit for riders looking to purchase a custom titanium or carbon fiber bike, could soon be part of the Cannondale family.
