\"\"<\/p>\n

Revolver from SOG<\/a>\u00a0$70<\/p>\n

“It’s basically one shank of steel. Half of it is buried in the handle, and there’s a pivot point at the front forward part of the handle. Then you push a trigger and it unlocks. You rotate the blade 180 degrees. One half is a Bowie knife and the other half is a really sharp lifetime guarantee saw. It’s perfect for a camping trip.”<\/p>\n

Light-up Baseball Cap<\/a>\u00a0$17<\/p>\n

“It’s one of those inventions that when it comes out, everyone’s like why didn’t we think of that. Everybody knocks it off. Power Cap is the one that I happen to see most often. The best quality ones have been available from Cabelas<\/a>.”<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Ice pick<\/a>\u00a0$6<\/p>\n

“…if you carry one for a couple days in your shop, you\u2019re going to begin to realize how often you\u2019ll reach for it. That\u2019s what I tell everybody. Just carry one, and you\u2019ll begin to realize how often you need it and, to keep it sexy and smooth, I put a thin little handle on it.”<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Tactical Pen<\/a>\u00a0$20<\/p>\n

“If you walk out of the house and you have a pencil or a Bic pen, in 10 minutes you\u2019ve given it to somebody, or you lost it, or you don\u2019t care. But if you carry around a tactical pen, it just becomes like a semiprecious item that you\u2019re going to constantly remember, oh, I lent that person my pen. Give it back to me when you\u2019re done. That\u2019s really the main reason I like it. Because it looks good with my gear, and it\u2019s not something I would leave behind.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
