01/ Ridge Wallet

The Ridge is a minimalist, RFID-blocking wallet. Elastic used in the main cardholder expands to hold up to 12 IDs and credit cards. The wallet includes a thin, versatile cash strap that’s ideal for carrying cash, IDs, or RFID-enabled cards, as well as a traditional money clip made from spring steel that can carry cash, RFID-enabled cards, or business cards. The Ridge is minimalist without being limiting. It’s about carrying less but always having what you need.

02/ Coast Slayer

The rechargeable and waterproof Slayer flashlight carries like it was meant to carried. The all-aluminum frame’s flat rectangular shape slides easily in and out of pockets and secures in place with a removable metal clip when tucked away. Featuring a dual optic system, the flood and spot beams cycle through five modes—medium flood, high flood, spot, low flood and turbo—with a simple button click. Set your go-to light mode using the Coast Memory Mode function—hold the rear switch down until the light flashes. Once set, Memory Mode allows you to jump straight to your beam selection when you press the rear switch. On lower power, this go-everywhere light can run up to 11 hours.

Built to redefine tactical utility, the Shootout is the perfect off-hand backup and an ideal choice for those looking to carry an OTF for EDC. Baring a blade made of Flat Earth PVD-coated CPM-CruWear steel housed in an injection-molded CF-Elite handle, the Shootout is the lightest and toughest OTF Benchmade has ever produced. A hardened carbide glass breaker and a reversible deep carry pocket clip round out this formidable package. Fully loaded for your EDC, the 5370FE Shootout packs a punch.
