With part 21 I will come to my end regarding IWA 2018. It has been a wild ride, I was able to make new friends and lasting connections. Hopefully you will see the fruits of my work later this year. With this post I want to share some more pics, that don’t really fit in […]
It was the second time SOD Gear exhibited their gear and apparel at IWA in Nuremberg. Usually the company from Empoli/Italy exhibits all of their colour options and camouflage patterns available, but this year they stuck to their solid color HCS (hybrid-coyote-sage), some Italian patterns and Multicam ,plus the German Flecktarn. As a fan, I […]
Lionsteel is one of those Italian knife companies from Maniago that you can simply not miss out on, when visiting IWA. They continuously get awards for their knife designs and have a strong following in the community. So it is even more interesting to see with what they come up with every year. Next to […]
The reason I stumbled upon the Ukrainian company UTactic was that I was doing some recce for my friends from Perunika. I was genuinely impressed by what I found. Although some of the designs looked familiar, the gear of UTactic is build with high quality materials (Cordura, Duraflex, ykk etc) and shows exquisit quality of […]
The company Extrema Ratio from Prato/Italy exhibits so many knives every year that it is hard to decide on what to photograph.

This year they […]
With IWA there usally always comes the question about what camouflage patterns will be exhibited, will there be something new, will it be less or more like last year and so on.

This was the fourth time of Rick Hinderer Knives at IWA, the second time with an own booth and you could get a decent look at the whole line-up. The knives have become much better available here in Europe and the fanbase is constantly growing. Next to all kind of different knives you could also […]
A nice surprise during the show was the fact that Vanquest was exhibiting its products for the very first time at IWA. I wanted to take a look at their gear for quite some time and was pleased to see that there is way more to them than meets the eye. At first look these […]
Direct Action showcased its various 2nd line and 3rd line gear options during IWA 2018. Next to the already available chest rigs and plate carriers, DA also presented two additional backpack designs and a revised version of the one pack, which was shown already last year. The packs of the Legacy line were not showcased. […]
The Reeve family was at the IWA show as every year, showcasing not only their regular line-up of excellent titanium framelock knives and fixed blades, but also various limited editions and unique graphique designs. The sheer beauty of these knives cannot be described and I think the quality is one of its kind as well. […]
