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

Region of Langres Welcome! Since June 2024, Mr. Sausseret Guillaume has been welcoming his clients to his shop, which has, with time, become a shop and bar. In the summer months, on Sunday evenings, you can order some special cocktails. To justify this, they also serve some small things to eat (cocktails and food list, see pictures "SUN" 1 & 2). But is it a wine shop or bar? Yes and no! It's more than that. You can find gifts, liqueurs, spirits, beers, syrups, tasty hearty

Vacation Yes, in most countries it is summer vacation. That means that many go on vacation or are planning to travel. I think and believe that next to your backpack, suitcase, travel bag, and hand luggage, you need a small pouch that keeps some spare EDC gear and things that could help you when you need them the most. But before we dive into that, as you can see in the pictures, prepare also a solid water bottle and some reading material. In this case, I chose some travel mag

ARCH1 In an earlier story, I already wrote about a knife from the Brazilian brand CIMO, but they make more than knives; they also make tools. One of those tools is this pry bar, an EDC tool that many people in the EDC community carry. CIMO named the pry bar "ARCH1." The tool is made out of 420 steel, is lightweight (55 grams), and has 10 functions in one. You will find their descriptions in the link below. I could copy the text from their website, but you all know that I pr
