Generally speaking I dont like large folding knives because Id rather just have a fixed blade at some point where their heft and size makes them inconvenient for pocketing.
Somewhere between 3" and 4.25" closed length is the sweet spot. Any smaller and you get into a 3 finger knife and that's sucky.

I looked into this a bit more. Eurofins actually paid the multimillion ransom again this time (via a subsidiary, Eurofins Clinical Diagnostics) — however the ransomware group have gone on to leak the data anyway. Nova say Eurofins violated their agreement but haven’t explained how.

Thongbue Wongbandue, 76, fell and suffered a fatal neck and head injury in a New Brunswick, NJ parking lot while scrambling to catch a train to meet “Big sis Billie,” a Meta bot that not only convinced him she was real but persuaded him to meet in person, according to a special report published this week by Reuters.
Wongbandue, who made his home with his wife in Piscatawa and was dealing with the mental decline brought on by a 2017 stroke, passed away in late March after he was taken off life support, family members revealed.
“I understand trying to grab a user’s attention, maybe to sell them something,” Wongbandue’s daughter, Julie, told the news wire service. “But for a bot to say ‘Come visit me’ is insane.”

OF COURSE THE BRITISH ARE INVOLVED
Russia’s Natural Enemy Aids Ukraine
You may have noticed over the last couple of years several Russian naval and maritime merchant ships, even in the Mediterranean Sea had mysterious explosions and sunk. At those times speculation was pointing in many directions including Ukraine, but nothing concrete surfaced.
Forward
Sensitive documents reviewed by The Grayzone indicate that the United Kingdom is the central architect behind Ukrainian military operations targeting Russia’s Black Sea Fleet. Among other explosive findings, the files reveal high-ranking British military and intelligence figures drew up detailed plans to “maximize attrition of [Moscow’s] Black Sea Fleet,” plotted to blow up the Kerch Bridge connecting Crimea to mainland Russia with fertilizer bombs, and even devised blueprints for a series of submersibles which would allow Ukrainian divers to plant mines on Russian ships and infrastructure...
... Project Alchemy also proposed a joint UK-Ukrainian intelligence operation in which “female agents” were surreptitiously inserted into Russian navy “admin posts.” In phase one of the operation, Morris proposed “setting up a bar and brothel” in Crimea to “gain intelligence from drunken sailors,” and serve as a “honey trap” for military and intelligence officers. “The agents must be Russian speakers and attractive, able to manipulate, playing to the weakness of the average Russian male,” he stressed.

Nothing to See Here! World Economic Forum Internal Investigation Clears Founder Klaus Schwab of Wrongdoing
breitbart.com/europe/2025/08/1…
Amid stepping down as chairman of the WEF in April, Great Reset architect Klaus Schwab faced accusations from whistleblowers of misconduct, including using World Economic Forum funds to pay for in-room massages in hotels, having staff withdraw WEF money from ATMs for his personal use, and using the organisation’s global competitivesness report to “curry favour” with certain governments.
The 87-year-old German-born economist denied all allegations and reportedly launched a lawsuit against the whistleblowers. In response, the WEF hired the Swiss law firm Homburger as well as the American Covington & Burling firm to carry out an internal investigation into Schwab.
Announcing the findings of the probe on Friday, the organisation said, according to the Financial Times: “Minor irregularities, stemming from blurred lines between personal contributions and forum operations, reflect deep commitment rather than intent of misconduct.”
An internal investigation conducted by the World Economic Forum has determined that there was no evidence that founder and former chairman Klaus Schwab committed wrongdoing during his time at the helm of the top globalist institution.Kurt Zindulka (Breitbart)
