Please take a second and take a look at this GoFundMe, if you want to support Pine Survey. Thank you! Introduction Recently I wrote an extensive report on PenCott Metropolis and presented several pictures of it in an urban environment. At then end of said article, I promised a follow up field test and here […]
Please take a second and take a look at this GoFundMe, if you want to support Pine Survey. Thank you! Introduction – the first signs of PenCott Metropolis I remember when I met Dom Hyde and Lawrence Holsworth at the Hyde Definition/PenCott booth during IWA 2013 in Nuremberg. Already back then there were talks and […]
Please take a second and take a look at this GoFundMe, if you want to support Pine Survey. Thank you! I remember stumbling upon Vanquest Gear in late 2014/early 2015, when a friend made me aware of the company and I did some reading on them. At first glance the company looked like another branch […]
I remember coming across Husar Ltd nearly 4 years ago and am following their products since then. As some of you might remember, I already did some reviews on their products and I can honestly say that these guys are constantly improving their products. Looking at what I have from them from 2014/15 and and […]
After having the pack in use for over a year, I think it is about time to give you my personal impressions of the Tasmanian Tiger Modular 30. I never had a full clamshell pack in this size and like this before (in fact I did receive it long before the Thor 40). So I […]
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. Because next to the new knife designs there was also the rest of the whole line-up available at the show. Last year they introduced their collaboration with the Austrian Jagdkommando. This year they […]
