Benchmade does make a great knife. The 496 Vector is no exception. This knife is reliable and dependable each time you reach for it. It is comforting to have something that won’t fail in your pocket in a world full of uncertainty around us.

Highly recommend this pack for any outdoorsman in need of a tough, well-made pack from a respected manufacturer.

Never before have shooters had the abundance of data available to them that is provided by the Mantis X10.

I promise you this; the Primary Arms SLx MD-25 has earned a place in my arsenal. They aren’t getting this one back.

As a gun nut, one of the things I take for granted is the value of a good blade. Because I am also an avid hunter, I am reminded yearly of this very thing. I have spent years of my life testing various blades, and most of them have left me wanting more from a knife. My current opinion is that a person needs many for a variety of applications, outfits, and events. You know, for specific tasks and fashion demands.

If you hunt snake areas, do yourself a favor and consider these classic snake boots. Your life could depend upon it—literally.
