As you know, the Czech company Tilak is one of my must see booths at IWA. Jan and Martin were showing me the updated product line-up of the company. Their design team is constantly updating the products with new details: for example – the raptor Hardshell features now zippers to both sides to have better […]
The Team of Kizlyar Supreme is coming to IWA for several years now and every year you find something new and interesting at their booth. By now all of their knives are produced completely in Russia again and you can see and feel the positive difference in quality immediately. Next to new knife designs they […]
The guys of UF PRO had a busy year and their booth at IWA 2018 was just as busy. Everytime when I see pictures from military or police operations and maneuvres in Europe, I see their pants. So many units are using their clothes that it really blows my mind. At the show they showcased […]
The semi-custom knives of Bark River are always a pleasure to see, own and use. Jenni from Klingenwelt was showcasing the newest additions to the line up and was at the show to answer any relevant questions. With all the high tech materials and designs it is always nice to see some old school blade […]
As every year Tasmanian Tiger was a must see at IWA for me. The company introduced a new line of navy blue equipment for law enforcement and some new designs like the Flightcase or extrem lightweight and flat chest rigs. There is so much more that it is really worth to visit their homepage to […]

Having several new pack designs, but also jackets, fleeces and hoodies, next to other accessoires, it was crazy to look through the whole line up. PenCott Wildwood will be available from May […]
For the second time (after some time), Microtech Knives was at IWA 2018 and showcased their excellent Out the Front knives (OTFs). Microtech is looking to expand into the European market, making their knives more available. I certainly hope they manage to do so, since I consider these knives among the best OTFs out there.
I am currently processing hundreds of pictures, so bear with me. Starting my IWA 2018 galleries with Spartan Blades. Mark and Curtis are always a pleasure to catch up with and this year they had several new things to show. New knives like the Formido, the Hybris or the Kranos New limited Editions of the […]
It has been a while since I published a comparative review on camouflage patterns. Since it is Winter – or better said – since winter is almost over, I had another opportunity to make use of the many camo uniforms given to me by Helikon-Tex. Some of you might remember, that I have already written […]
Last year, KarrimorSF introduced several new pack designs – one of them the Thor 40. The guys were kind enough to send me one and after several months of me using the pack I am finally able to present you my personal opinion and observations. With the Thor 40, KarrimorSF is adding a full clamshell […]
