Each frame includes a little toothed hanger, too.

From the Chinese military, this olive drab canvas recon chest rig is made for carrying SKS rounds.

Some folks would call these gnomes, and they have name tags that say “Gnomlins,” but don’t believe it. They’re actually stuffed and furry Tomte or Nisse, depending on whether they’re Swedish or Norwegian, and they’re not saying. Wherever they’re from, they’re “solitary, mischievous domestic sprites.” Ours are 6” tall, which makes them 1/6 life-size.

Or unsuture self, actually, with this pair of 4-1/2" long stainless steel suture scissors. Fulcrum is 1-1/4" from the tip. What makes them suture scissors is the little hook in the bottom blade, for getting under and lifting the stitch, but there's no law that says you can't cut anything else with them.
