Here's what I brought home from KNIFE Solingen 2026.
(Swipe for the greatest knife show table crew ever)
.
For me (as you might know), knife shows aren't just knife shows. I enjoy being there, strolling through the aisles, hanging around with all my friends I made over the last few years.
I rarely buy a lot of stuff, sometimes I don't buy anything at all.
But when I do, I want to take something special home.
.
So, here's what I got at KNIFE Solingen 2026.

1. New textured scales for the GMF-1 from Jesper. These are prototypes, they will come in several different colors and will be available very soon.

2. Boker Plus Kissaki

3. The KNIFE 2026 Show Exclusive
Boker Kiboku, signed by the BIG DAWG himself, Lucas Burnley.
This is a smaller, more EDC friendly version of the original design which was a giant beast of a knife.
This show exclusive was limited to only 40 pieces but will be available in a lot of different variations and handle materials.

4. The stuff I got from our friends:
Patches from,
and the coolest surprise from,which is a 3D printed box for ranger eye sized patches.
Oh yeah, and it came with some really funny patches. Thank you for the effort and the gift. Felozely!

Thanks for the amazing time, thanks to everyone who showed up at our KnifeLounge table and huge thanks to the greatest crew and bunch of crazy people!

Thanks for the memories 🤘🏻🫶🏻
Wrist and pocket tools of the day.

Easy morning ☕️

This one has been sitting and waiting inside my watch box for almost a year. And after throwing it on my wrist this morning, I remembered why I bought this one.
Because the Tissot PRX is just beautiful!
#tissotprx #watchcollection
I came, I saw, I emptied my pockets.
Basically my essentials (minus my TPT slide which I forgot to pull out of my pants): A cutting tool and a pen (which is my most used item). And I love the little pop of colors from the Ultem bead and the leather sheath.

Small in size but still a reliable mini-tool and a capable bottle opener - the NotoriousEDC babybomb 👶💣
Did you grab one during the drop today?

This G-Shock gives me Cyberpunk vibes. Each time. Everytime.

It costs less than two hours of parking in the city.
It tells the time.
And the date.
Sometimes it even beeps.

One of my favorite watches in my collection: The Casio A168.

Pure retro vibes and technology doing exactly what it promised since day one.
No apps. No updates. No nonsense. No BS.

Tactical Geek has been a solid player in the EDC world for quite a while now — and I mean that in the best possible way. And once again, they’ve managed to surprise me. This time with something I never even thought about… but instantly knew "that's cool".
Definitely one of those “don’t need it, but gotta have it” kind of items.

Come one, you all KNOW those items, lol.

The TX11 Zippo Sheath is made for all the EDC fanatics who always carry their Zippo but don’t want to overload their pockets with more gear. And that’s exactly where this sheath comes in. It lets you carry your Zippo comfortably on your belt — simple, clean, and ready when you need it.

The sheath is made from a super soft rubber that grips really well but still lets you draw your Zippo easily. (Honestly, i would carry that thing even empty just to feel the texture, haha).
No worries about it flying off mid-adventure — I’m pretty sure you could even pull off back handsprings with it.

The price is great, and the quality is exactly what you’d expect from Tactical Geek: absolutely top-notch.

The small print: Yeah, it’s sponsored gear – but you know the drill: my words, my thoughts, no brand influence.
