Japan My brother and I spent three weeks in Japan and had the best time! We are already planning on going back. It’s an amazing country to travel to, even solo! It’s safe, structured, and very beautiful! We started our trip in Osaka, where we saw Osaka Castle and Dotonbori, explored Tsutenkaku and Namba, and went to Katsuo-ji Temple. The temple was one of my favorites! There are thousands of Daruma dolls spread across the whole area, and it’s a very beautiful place overall. W

CIMO We have to catch up a little bit, so we are bringing you a new review. When we can, we are going to make more reviews a week and bring you more Instagram content. The first time we presented you a knife from CIMO, it was a prototype that is now in production. Now we bring you a knife from the Hydroline made by CIMO. It is a smooth, two-handed liner lock (Hydrosight Pulse) that you can flick open with one hand. In the same line, you also have a flipper model. They chose 1

Civivi Knives (WE Knife) Yes, we are back on track. My technical team is back from an amazing vacation, and a story will follow soon. Meanwhile, we have received knives from different companies for our reviews and unboxings. Today we present the Baby Banter fixed blade from Civivi Knives (WE Knife), designed by Ben Petersen, the owner of KNAFS. Oh boy, I love small neck knives, as many know, but this one is, "oh yeah," I love it. The micarta handle material is lovely and the

With Armour Yes! Indeed, this story is different. I have a lot of gear and knives, so sometimes I ask other people to write a field review. And of course, they don't rate it like the Goibniu. But the knife in this review has a rating equivalent to ####. For the next 3 weeks, my technical team is gone for an adventure in Japan. So no stories, but we'll keep in touch via Instagram, and a travel review of Japan will follow. Respect the laws and rules of your country. The Goibniu

Mosel On the banks of the French, Luxembourgish, and German Mosel River, you'll find vineyards. In Germany, these are planted on steep hills, as are the vineyards in Bernkastel-Kues on the Kardinalsberg. The river valley of the Middle Mosel represents one of the most historically rich and geologically distinctive wine regions in the world. At its cultural heart lies Bernkastel-Kues, a town divided by the river and defined by steep slate amphitheaters, centuries of humanisti

Colibri The Colibri! Yes, it's a bird, but not this time. This time, it's an EDC folding knife made by BPS Knives. At the end of February, at the IWA, I visited the BPS booth, and they asked me if I would choose a knife for a review. I said yes, why not, so I chose the Colibri. It took a while before I took it off the shelf to do the unboxing. Of course, I'm a curious person and had a peek already, but I write about much gear, beverages, food, traveling, and other things.

"a knife for a penny?" As the end of summer is near and many holidays are almost over, I strongly believe that some of you bought a knife as a gift for some of your dear family members or friends. Knives have been given for decades, but in the early medieval period, people were very superstitious. So, when they received a knife as a gift, they gave the smallest piece of money they had, effectively buying the knife. This was done so the knife wouldn't cut the love, relation,

Menorca We were in Menorca for 9 days last week, and it was fun, cultural, tasteful, and happily uneventful. We stayed in a very good hotel (link below). Yes, we stayed all-inclusive, and for an all-inclusive, it was really good (see hashtag score below). I can say that I could have easily stayed 4 or 5 days longer. The island itself is full of trees, agriculture, and historical places (read the story from last week). In the swimming pool (salt water) we named the Positive an

Menorca As written in the Goibniu blog explanations, we also write about travel ideas and things you can explore. So yesterday we rented a guide (Júlia) who drove us in a Defender to the northern part of Menorca to visit some historical island sites and a farm where they make some delicious cheeses from cow and sheep milk. They ripen for 12 months and are really very tasty. While driving, she spoke passionately about the different parts and different geological soils. In

EDC This Sunday I'm going on vacation by plane to Menorca, a Spanish island where it's allowed to carry pocketknives with blades shorter than 11.5 cm. So I'm taking the two knives shown in the pictures with me. They'll go in my toiletry bag in my suitcase so that I have no problems at customs. I'm also taking lip balm and a cap with me to protect myself directly against the sun. Of course, when I'm at the pool, I'll use sunscreen lotion to protect myself. A sturdy watch to te
