The Loadout Room
Professional Gear Reviews

A covertly equipped handcuff key for a foreigner abroad is the smallest part of their gear but potentially the most important. “Gear to survive or endure dangerous and hazardous scenarios are valuable but gear to avoid them is invaluable.” – JOHN V CAIN (Founder of VINJABOND) Specialized handcuff keys and other escape tools have been a part […]
Texas-based Bravo Concealment has been hand crafting kydex holsters and magazine pouches for military, government and civilian use for a while now.

The popularity of the new for 2017 Steel Will Cutjack isn’t hard to understand. It’s a sturdy, well-finished, everyday pocket knife with high-performance materials offered at an aggressive price. “Every component of the Cutjack is of the highest Steel Will quality,” Steel Will Knives’ Lee K.
