In 2014, from Victorinox comes a special edition release of its ubiquitous Swiss Army knife, featuring an eye-catching Damascus blade. This model is the fifth edition in a line of annual releases of Damascus Swiss Army knives stretching back to its introduction in 2010, with the 2014 release sporting an oak handle and a natural finish. The pièce-de-resistance, of course, is the Damascus steel blade with its distinctive ripple effect, made by utilizing the age-old method of repeatedly folding the steel, along with high concentrations of molybdenum and vanadium, on itself hundreds of times to form a blade that is extraordinarily tough with unrivaled cutting ability. This is paired alongside standard Swiss Army knife tools and is limited to only 5,000 units worldwide. Victorinox 2014 Damascus Limited Edition Swiss Army Knife

Operating under the label Rough Crafts, Taipei-based custom motorcycle maker Winston Yeh imbues his signature lean, mean yet clean style into his latest creation, the Harley Davidson “Dyna Guerilla.” Essentially a stripped-down 2009 Fat Bob, the Dyna Guerilla packs a 1584cc v-twin engine within a matte black exterior. As well as the front lowering kit and rear shocks by Progressive, the Arlen Ness titanium black fork legs and 16″ wheels round out the essentials, accompanied by parts from the Rough Crafts collection, including the handlebars, foot controls, air filter, fuel tank and cap, rocker arm cover and quilted leather seat. Maintaining a slick black theme throughout, the engine’s polished fins accent the entire affair perfectly, topped off by the Harley-Davidson Forty-Eight headlight.

Finally, an icy outsole and bold “23″ and “JORDAN” heel branding complete the look.

BMW's i division isn't just building high-tech cars of tomorrow, it also happens to be an incubator filled with projects that also bring advancements to transportation on two wheels. One of those innovations is their drive unit swing arm that is debuting in an all-new bike, the HNF Heisenberg XF1.
BMW's swing arm lets the drive unit, which traditionally is mounted to the main frame, float freely allowing the bike to get rid of the chain tensioner improving acceleration and handling.
Specifically the 4-joint drive unit will feature mid-motor and even axle load distribution, a no maintenance belt drive, stiffer frame, non-existent pedal recoil, and a grippy ride and enhanced traction.
