Thompson is a legend in the combatives community. He earned one of the first jiu jitsu black belts awarded by UFC legend Royce Gracie, and he created the SOCP. This training program is exactly what it sounds like \u2013 a comprehensive program in hand-to-hand and knife fighting for Special Operations personnel. Greg was at the Benchmade booth at SHOT, and I got to spend some time hearing about the SOCP Dagger directly from this OG combatives instructor. Greg went through the &#8220;whats and whys&#8221; behind his dagger design. Minutes later, I wanted this knife.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"292\" src=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Benchmade-SOCP-Dagger-EDC-draw-combo-1024x292.jpg\" alt=\"man holding the benchmade knives socp dagger 2025 father's day\" class=\"wp-image-216462\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Benchmade-SOCP-Dagger-EDC-draw-combo-1024x292.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Benchmade-SOCP-Dagger-EDC-draw-combo-400x114.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Benchmade-SOCP-Dagger-EDC-draw-combo-150x43.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Benchmade-SOCP-Dagger-EDC-draw-combo-768x219.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Benchmade-SOCP-Dagger-EDC-draw-combo.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The SOCP Dagger is very low profile and easy to quickly deploy, even if you didn&#8217;t do your job and are now mounted and eating ground and pound.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The SOCP Dagger is extremely concealable inside the beltline on either side. Only the ring on the end of the dagger is exposed above the belt. The concept is brilliant, allowing quick, one-finger deployment and adding an edged weapon to natural jiu jitsu defensive techniques such as shrimping, overhooking, etc. If a Special Operations Dagger doesn\u2019t make dad\u2019s day, not much else will.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The black DLC-coated 440C stainless steel SOCP Dagger is $130. For an extra $50, you can get a trainer that has no sharp edges. Hardware is great, but training is what matters. Get both. Finally, for an extra $10 you can get a leather backplate, which you will absolutely need. This little leather patch makes carrying the SOCP Dagger much more comfortable if you have any kind of belly. And let\u2019s face it, dad bods are a thing (as the kids say).

It also puts out 10 lumens of either white or red light out to eight meters for 10 hours of run time. The IR Max is IP68 water resistant and runs off one CR123 lithium, one AA lithium, or one AA alkaline battery. This dual fuel power system is greatly appreciated, as is the option for low or high power IR illumination. I\u2019ve been running the Princeton Tec Charge X for a few years and love it. The new Charge X IR Max provides some great enhancements while maintaining the original low-profile form factor and Princeton Tec quality.

I picked these up just after the start of the year and I\u2019ve used them several times. The original Fixit Sticks torque limiter had one torque setting per socket, e.g., 15 inch pounds, and they would click at the designated torque. That meant you had to have several sockets for the different torque specs out there. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The new Fixit Sticks All-In-One Torque Driver has several settings per socket. Simply turn the wrench until the desired torque setting hits the index mark and stop. These are accurate to +\/-10%. I have the 6-25 inch pound limiter ($58) and the 15-65 inch pound version ($64) which pretty much covers everything. Dad can use these with any \u00bc inch driver.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-go-dark-or-stay-home\">Go Dark Or Stay Home<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"508\" src=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/GoDark-Faraday-Bag-combo-1024x508.jpg\" alt=\"godark faraday dry bag 2025 father's day\" class=\"wp-image-216466\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/GoDark-Faraday-Bag-combo-1024x508.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/GoDark-Faraday-Bag-combo-400x198.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/GoDark-Faraday-Bag-combo-150x74.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/GoDark-Faraday-Bag-combo-768x381.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/GoDark-Faraday-Bag-combo.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">What is this sorcery?

This is a traditional dry bag that folds over several times and clips shut, but it is also lined with fabric that blocks electronic signals such as 4G, 5G, Wi-Fi, GPS, and Bluetooth. Want to go off grid? This bag will take you there. Want to keep your cell phone, satellite phone, or radio safe from the water? This bag will do it. I tested the 10L size while kayaking, and it performed just fine. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To test the faraday aspect, I put my phone inside the sealed bag and tried in vain to call it. Likewise, a Baofeng radio was unable to penetrate the bag. Finally, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth were unable to get through the bag. The test was interesting, because even just a little gap in the top of the bag would let the Bluetooth out, but any type of sealing or folding the top of the bag killed the signal. The GoDark Faraday bag has a soft fleece lining and some nylon D-rings for attachment. Currently $100 for the 10L or $90 for the 5L.

One of their reps snagged me at SHOT Show and offered to send some of their newer designs for a test run. What showed up were the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mechanix.com\/us-en\/all-work-gloves\/HDG-F55.html?dwvar_HDG-F55_color=covert\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"gaspars-2025-fathers-day-gift-guide\" title=\"Gaspar's 2025 Father's Day Gift Guide\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">TAA Precision Pro<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mechanix.com\/us-en\/tactical-and-military-gloves\/MSD-72.html\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"gaspars-2025-fathers-day-gift-guide\" title=\"Gaspar's 2025 Father's Day Gift Guide\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">the Specialty 0.5mm<\/a>, and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mechanix.com\/us-en\/tactical-and-military-gloves\/MSV-55.html?dwvar_MSV-55_color=covert\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"gaspars-2025-fathers-day-gift-guide\" title=\"Gaspar's 2025 Father's Day Gift Guide\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Tactical Vent<\/a>. Each pair of gloves were high quality and comfortable, as is the case with other Mechanix gloves I\u2019ve used. While I would say each type of glove was versatile, each was tuned to fit a particular purpose. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The TAA Precision Pro, for example, is a lightweight glove with a very grippy rubber like matrix (called Padlock) on the palm and fingers \u2013 except the thumb and tip of the index finger are smooth, not grippy. This is a great glove for 3 Gun competitions or something similar where you need some protection, an excellent grip, low profile, great dexterity, and a smooth trigger finger. You can use a touchscreen with the Precision Pro. Available in black or tan. The Specialty 0.5mm is a similar thin glove, but without the grippy stuff. The palm is not slippery, but it\u2019s not sticky either. It has a wavy grid texture. This is a hot weather glove. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For pistol handling it is much slicker than even a suede type of fabric. Finally, the Tactical Vent is clearly the most hot-weather-friendly of the three. Though they are all low profile, light weight gloves with tons of ventilation, the Tactical Vent takes it one step farther with tiny pores throughout. The grippiness of the palm and fingers is in between the TAA Precision Pro and the Specialty 0.5mm. $35.99 for each model.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Mechanix-eye-pro-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"mechanix eye protection\" class=\"wp-image-216468\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Mechanix-eye-pro-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Mechanix-eye-pro-400x300.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Mechanix-eye-pro-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Mechanix-eye-pro-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Mechanix-eye-pro.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Mechanix makes eye protection from basic models such as this Type-X to higher-end milspec models.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-eye-s-too\">Eye&#8217;s Too!<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Mechanix also sent over some eye protection, which any dad can use.

I picked these up at SHOT Show to test and evaluate. In fact, I wore them to the SHOT Show Range Day and loved them right away. Subsequently I read some reviews indicating discomfort during the break in period, but I didn\u2019t have any problems. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once back home I tested the Goretex waterproofing by standing in some puddles at the range. No leaks. The Vibram sole is a welcome new addition. It is stiff, has a very aggressive tread, and is slip and oil resistant. The A.T.L.A.S. footbed is just like my other 5.11 Tactical boots, meaning it\u2019s super comfortable and provides superior support for all day hard use. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There\u2019s a locking eyelet at the instep, which on some days I like and some days I hate. It adds an option for customizing the fit, but when you have hiked all day and just want to get your boots off it slows you down. If dad is a whiner don\u2019t get him these boots. If, however, dad is a stud who likes to hunt or run shooting competitions all day rain or shine, then get him these boots. $235 in black or coyote, sizes 5-15, half sizes 7-12, and EE width available (thankfully).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-cool-dad\">Cool Dad<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"439\" src=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/5.11-Tactical-Allhaula-30-Can-Cooler-combo-1024x439.jpg\" alt=\"5.11 tactical allhaula cooler 2025 father's day\" class=\"wp-image-216470\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/5.11-Tactical-Allhaula-30-Can-Cooler-combo-1024x439.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/5.11-Tactical-Allhaula-30-Can-Cooler-combo-400x171.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/5.11-Tactical-Allhaula-30-Can-Cooler-combo-150x64.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/5.11-Tactical-Allhaula-30-Can-Cooler-combo-768x329.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/5.11-Tactical-Allhaula-30-Can-Cooler-combo.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">This 5.11 Tactical Allhaula 30 Can Cooler was a hit this last Memorial Day weekend.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Another option from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.511tactical.com\/bags-packs\/luggage\/allhaula-30-can-cooler.html?queryID=00f7ac59296b247151c584cb72c9e453&amp;objectID=394717&amp;indexName=magento2_productiondefault_products\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"gaspars-2025-fathers-day-gift-guide\" title=\"Gaspar's 2025 Father's Day Gift Guide\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">5.11 Tactical is the Allhaula 30 Can Cooler<\/a>. Just like it sounds, this soft sided cooler packs 30 cans, or just a case of 24 if you want to put a bunch of ice in there. We just got back from a long weekend trip using this cooler and it was great. The waterproof zipper is strong and held up to a four day weekend of loading, emptying, and reloading the cooler with no signs of wear. Insulation is very sufficient for a cooler of its size. There\u2019s laser cut MOLLE loops on three sides, and hook\/loop on the front for morale patches. Either sling it with the shoulder strap or use the handles. 840D nylon exterior and 420 nylon interior. $175<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>READ MORE HERE: <a href=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/stone-glacier-chilkoot-0-sleeping-bag-review\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"gaspars-2025-fathers-day-gift-guide\" title=\"Gaspar's 2025 Father's Day Gift Guide\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Stone Glacier Chilkoot 0\u00b0 Sleeping Bag Review<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-get-rid-of-dad-s-belt\">Get Rid of Dad&#8217;s Belt<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"256\" src=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Kore-Essentials-Gun-Belt-combo-1024x256.jpg\" alt=\"kore essentials gun belt 2025 father's day\" class=\"wp-image-216471\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Kore-Essentials-Gun-Belt-combo-1024x256.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Kore-Essentials-Gun-Belt-combo-400x100.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Kore-Essentials-Gun-Belt-combo-150x38.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Kore-Essentials-Gun-Belt-combo-768x192.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Kore-Essentials-Gun-Belt-combo.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">A random encounter at SHOT Show led me to this Kore Essentials Gun Belt.

This is another SHOT Show item (see the pattern here?). While looking at the Kore belts in their SHOT Show booth, one of their reps offered me a Kore Essential Gun Belt if I would take off my belt and give it to him in exchange. My belt was old and showing wear, so I thought, \u201cWhy not?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I am so glad I traded belts! The Kore Essentials Gun Belt is a click design, meaning there are no holes to buckle through.
