5.11 has supplanted itself in the market as a provider of a wide variety of gear and has really made the term tactical even more mainstream in the last few years. Providing everything from workout shorts and sandbags to hiking backpacks and combat pants they really do have their fingers in many markets these days. Recently I have been getting back into knives of all shapes and sizes and wanted to take a look at some more budget-friendly options. I reached out to 5.11 and they sent me their BRADDOCK DP Folding Knife for review.
