Wölfling Yes! I know I already wrote about German-made axes, but what the heck, I just love doing that. Earlier this year, at the IWA at the Adler booth, I spoke with my friend Linus about what is new. He showed me this hatchet named the "Wölfling," meaning the cub of a wolf. It is a small hatchet with a length of 27 cm and a total weight of 450 grams. The handle is made of well-chosen US hickory, and the axe head is forged from premium C-50 carbon steel. It is the ideal hatc

BKS knife show in Gembloux (Belgium) Yes! We are celebrating the 25th edition of the BKS knife show in Gembloux (Belgium). The show attracts knifemakers from more than 12 countries and is known for being one of the most collegial knife shows with a family atmosphere. This time I will write less text and provide you with a lot of pictures and short videos, but I also had the chance to capture some footage of the show's preparation, so I would say: enjoy! And as always, never f

GEC I hear you thinking, what in the world is this? It is a modern-made knife, but with a completely "old skool" look. This knife is made by GEC, which stands for Great Eastern Cutlery. They started in August 2006 by reproducing knife models that come straight out of the early western times; trappers, farmers, cattle drivers, and adventurers all carried their specific kind of knife. Under their brand, they make models that were made in their region, like the model I have here

GEO-knife The Belluf, which you might mistake for an ancient biblical name, is actually the name of a knife made by GEO-knife and designed by Fabian Hobbelen. The one I present to you here features Ultem scales. What is Ultem? Ultem is a high-performance polyetherimide (PEI) amorphous thermoplastic resin. It is very solid and resistant to many things, such as heat, cold, and water. However, the knife also comes with other scale materials like G10 and titanium, and those are a

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.
