Wenger new Ranger line (120 mm)

The new line of one-hand opening knives comes later than the one from Victorinox, but they are much prettier. The two competing brands, even before Victorinox bought Wenger, are rather similar, differences lying almost only in details (finition or conception of some tools, options of exotic tools, “genuine” Wenger vs. “original” Victorinox…).

This new Ranger will […]

Bunny Warez Ninja Bunny stealth hat

For all wannabe bunninja, the furry-fetishism shop Bunny Warry has created this wonderful hood. I like a lot this idea, which is not only funny, but very practical, since you can stash a lot of gear inside the ears (however I think you should avoid to stock heavy objects if you plan to run, this […]

This old-school looking clock is loaded with fifty wake-up message read by the british actor Stephen Fry in order to simulate the silky wake-up signal delivered by a well-mannered but tongue-in-cheekish majordome.

I got one of these little knife when they came out, and I […]

iPods can save lives too

Kevin Garrad (3rd Infantry Division) was on a street patrol in Iraq and as he rounded the corner of a building an armed (AK-47) insurgent came from the other side.
The two of them were […]

Inova Bolt flashlights

The new Inova Bolt lights family is a sort of mix between different models (the entry-level Radiant for the AA form-factor, and the XOx series for the potent led used by Emissive Energy).
This family seems to be a medium-level offer, between the Radiant and the XO-family, the obsolescent X5, while prettier and more compact than […]

Spyderco Bi-Fold

A dead-born project by Eric Glasser, the c108 Bi-Fold was a very interresting little knife with an ingenious system of lateral folding and as innovative as the CRKT Van Hoy Snap Lock.
