My Favorite Knife | Schleiferei Sellnau

In the middle of tranquil Upper Lusatia, imposing buildings from the Middle Ages, Renaissance and Baroque periods meet a cozy small-town idyll with a cultural heartbeat. Known as the political and cultural center of the Sorbs, Bautzen invites its visitors to an unforgettable visit year after year with lots of heart, hospitality and history. The small town on the River Spree not only preserves buildings and customs, but also values traditional craftsmanship.

My Favorite Knife | Identity Knives

Character is the merging of mentality, long-suffering and unwavering dedication to the right cause. Inherent in the power of uniqueness is a source of tranquillity, with a clear vision whose realisation can be driven to unmistakable identity. Following this idea, the young Swiss custom knifemaker Ivan Dietsche from Altstätten in the canton of St. Gallen realised his dream with Identity Knives at the beginning of 2022 and creates exceptional knives with unique character.

Interview with Simon Gerard

In the right place at the right time - for some it is a stroke of luck; for Simon Gerard it is a lived philosophy that makes for success. For Boker's logistics manager, the most important thing is the right coordination. Optimised processes and the best possible efficiency require reliability, a structured approach, a committed team and out-of-the-box thinking. Speaking of boxes - de facto, no package bypasses it, no matter whether in incoming or outgoing goods. The logistics department is one of the central pillars for customer satisfaction, as it is the link between goods and customer. The articles from our own production and from suppliers reach their right place on the warehouse shelf in the right quantity, so that when the customer orders them, they immediately find their way to the packing table and ultimately to the customer. With over 9,000 different products in the range, this is both a logistical challenge and a matter of the heart. Why sharpness plays a special role in his life and what he would like to have more space for at home, the Boker Pac(k)-man reveals in the following.

Company Profile | KAI USA Kershaw & Zero Tolerance

Japanese engineering made in the USA - an exemplary symbiosis of passion, fascination and quality awareness for extraordinary knives, made for extraordinary people and, in view of the turbulent history, a reconciliatory sign of rapprochement between the two countries. However, the common line of KAI, Kershaw and Zero Tolerance could not begin further apart, both geographically, politically and strategically.

Interview with Dirk Hofmeister | Midgards Knives

In the record time of only 6 years, Dirk Hofmeister has succeeded in becoming a firmly established figure among knife designers as well as among productive semi-custom knifemakers - a goal that many knifemakers, despite their hard work and heart and soul, do not achieve in a lifetime. The unmistakable feature of his knives is their angular design with immense material thicknesses, manufactured using the most modern production techniques. The knives are rightly called by their pithy names from Nordic mythology. Dirk Hofmeister tells us how he keeps his inner idea machine running and why his company and his knives bear names from Nordic mythology.

My Favorite Knife | Brucklacher

With its warmth, medieval charm and living tradition, the tranquil town of Reutlingen welcomes numerous visitors from all over the world year after year. The gateway to the Swabian Alb, the nickname of the Baden-Württemberg city, has another curiosity worth mentioning: With an average width of just 40 cm, Spreuerhofstraße is considered the narrowest street in the world - including an entry in the famous Guinness Book of Records. Another record-breaker is the small Brucklacher company, which has been in business since 1888 and specialises in Solingen steel goods and has a nationwide appeal for friends of high-quality knives, scissors and weapons.

My Favorite Knife | Schön Outdoor

"Squad, ten-hut!" resounds loudly from the U.S. sergeant into the still young morning as well as into many a sleepy ear of the 41st Field Artillery Brigade. "Left march!" In accurate time, hundreds of pairs of boots march off, setting out for "Operation Schön." U.S. Army scouts moved out earlier from Europe's most modern military training area in Grafenwöhr, Bavaria, and were able to spot an outpost with special appeal. In addition to extensive training areas, state-of-the-art firing ranges, a military airport and housing units where up to 4,000 U.S. soldiers live, a garrison for military clothing and equipment is located in the immediate vicinity of the 233-square-kilometer area of operations, which has long since become a popular port of call for both the military and the civilian population.

Company Profile | Outdoor Edge

Bitterly cold moonlight sweeps across countless treetops and mountain ridges, shrouding the depths of night in a meek silhouette of breathtaking beauty. Silence, seclusion, and unleashed forces of nature fill the crisp air of the mighty Rocky Mountains with a sense of adventure, awe, and humble contemplation. Being at one with nature and the ripe realization of being only a small piece of its puzzle after all. Suddenly, the inner contemplation is interrupted by a cracking sound. A trampling branch, a dull tramp in the snow and steaming breath. A grazing deer - this hunting trip will be a successful one.

Company Profile | Viper

Biblical myth, awe-inspiring fascination and majestic beauty: few animals have such magical ambivalence as the snake. Elegant in movement and highly efficient in hunting - venomous snakes in particular have been admired and feared at the same time since time immemorial. On the European continent, the family of vipers (lat. Viperidae) is the most common. Well-known representatives are the adder (Vipera Berus) or the Vipera Novaculae. The latter genus was discovered and adequately researched only towards the end of the 1980s in the epicenter of the Italian knife industry, the small town of Maniago in Friuli, by Giovanni Miniutti, Renato Varnerin and Milvio Rosa Gastaldo.

My Favorite Knife | Stahlwaren Wagner

At the top, loneliness, humility and icy silence reign. The wind whistles mercilessly and soon shows whether it is friend or foe. The gaze is focused, the breath calm. Only the pounding of the heart is audible and the adrenaline in the blood makes you forget the icy cold for a moment. Below: loud roar of around 25,000 enthusiastic people. Cheers, horns, cowbells, a colorful sea of flags and great expectations. Tunnel vision: but the focus is initially only on a small flag. When this is waved by the coach, it's no longer a matter of the external conditions, but what you make of it. A strong push off the beam, the acceleration to 90 km/h and, as always, catching the right jump. Then it's a matter of enjoying 10 seconds of bliss carried by the wind, which fly by, and finally it's just a matter of landing safely. Relief, a smile, arriving as if in the arms of family. The fans frenetically cheer the long jump at the start of the Four Hills Tournament in Oberstdorf, Bavaria.
