06 5.11 Tactical
LV10 13L Sling Pack
As someone who does trade shows regularly, I like
to have some kind of pack to keep my swag in, as
well as tote around some water, my GoPro and other
show essentials. With most packs, you have to take
the pack o‰ to access it, but the LV10 is a sling pack
— and ingeniously designed I might add — so you
can simply swing it around to the front and access it
while wearing it. The squared design of the LV10 also
allows for it to lay almost perfectly fl at when orient-
ed in the front, making it easy to access the contents
inside. Although I only make mention of trade shows,
the LV10 is mission-tough and is ideal for hardcore
use. The bag is further customizable with additional
purpose-built pouches, available from 5.11 Tactical.

04 Audacious
Concept
Dog Tag Tool
The edge bevel of a knife can make all the
di‰ erence in the world, depending on why
you are using it. Sometimes knowing the
angle of your edge bevel can be benefi cial
(for sharpening, designating intended
uses, etc.), but it can be hard to determine
it with the naked eye. With the Audacious
Concept Dog Tag Tool, you can now carry an
edge bevel guide right in your pocket. It also
includes metric and Imperial rulers, a hex bit
holder and a bottle opener. (The Dog Tag
Tool can also be purchased on BladeHQ.com
when available.)
