Silver Stag Custom Antler Knife ($90 - %130) OK, so we lied...this one might run you a bit more than $100, but it's worth it. Some of your favorite hunts may not be those that yield the biggest trophies, and some of your most important memories in the field may not be tied to a remarkable harvest represented by a mount on the living room wall, but that doesn’t make them any less deserving of such tributes. Silver Stag knives offers a fairly inexpensive way to commemorate say, your first father-son or father-daughter hunt, or even the first shed you found together. For a price of $90 to $130, you can send the company your antler and they will make it into one of many knife designs that can be engraved, if you choose, and passed down for generations. Their products are top notch and there are many blade shapes and sizes to choose from, all made from excellent steel. I have one of their Pacific Bowies (bottom) with a blade of D2 tool steel that I can’t see leaving my hip in the field for the foreseeable future. An excellent knife with one of a kind sentimental value is a great gift for dad that may even jerk a couple tears. –-DM

Maxpedition Jumbo K.I.S.S. Gear Bag ($52.99) Sometimes you just need a tough bag that secures well but is smaller than a backpack. The Jumbo K.I.S.S. (yep, it stands for Keep It Simple, Stupid) from Maxpedition is a feature rich shoulder back that no one will confuse with a purse. This is a special edition of the company’s Jumbo Versipack cut down to the most essential features. It has a large main compartment that closes with a quick-release flap and three smaller zippered pouches in addition to a cinch pouch on the side sized for a 32 oz. Nalgene bottle, but serves equally well as an all-purpose dump pouch that flattens to nothing when not in use. The Jumbo K.I.S.S. makes a perfect range bag, enhanced by the inclusion of a secure handgun compartment behind the main flap. I’ve used Maxpedition products for years and the very similar Jumbo E.D.C. pack serves as my pistol range bag…and a host of other uses that become very apparent when the warm weather sets in and you suddenly don’t have all those jacket pockets. I rely on Maxpedition to use the toughest materials and the best construction methods…and to not waste an inch of space on any product. The Jumbo K.I.S.S. delivers on both counts. –-DM
