Victorinox Pioneer “Solo”

Le Victorinox Pioneer est un modèle de la gamme Alox de Victorinox, dérivée du fameux couteau de soldat suisse, mais débarrassé de tous ses accessoires pour se concentrer sur l’essentiel : la lame. Ce n’est pas tant en épaisseur que le gain est le plus important, bien qu’il soit assez sensible - c’est surtout en […]



Opinel #10 tire-bouchon

Une nouveauté récente de la gamme Opinel, enfin disponible avec un tire-bouchon assez astucieusement intégré dans la ligne du manche.

Lame de 10 cm en acier inoxydable, manche en hêtre verni, virole de blocage.

Disponible chez Harpignies pour 24 euros.

Benchmade 1100 Penseries

Benchmade rejoint les fabriquants de stylos de combat (WTF ?) avec ses deux nouveaux modèles 1100, l’un écrivant en noir, l’autre écrivant en bleu, et se différenciant cosmétiquement essentiellement par la couleur de l’endroit où on les prends en main.

Le petit truc en plus, c’es que ce stylo peut servir de kubotan, pour maîtriser un […]

Spyderco Tenacious

Le nouveau Tenacious remplace le Delica en tant qu’entrée de la gamme des couteaux Spyderco, se plaçant en alternative à la marque chisoise de Spyderco, Byrd. Il est doté d’un acier un peu moins à la mode (du 8CR13MOV) et de plaquettes G10 (vissées), s’il conserve la bonne finition de ses aînés et leur douceur […]

Böker/Chad Los Banos new products

The new Hyper (also available with serrated black blade) is a new design from CLB. Blade is 7 cm long, and is made of 440C steel, when right handle is made of G10. It weights about 100 grams.

The Red variation of the Rescom was called by a lot of customers, since safety workers don’t care […]

Fox Emergency Rescue Tool

A low-cost alternative to Benchmade ERT-1, the ResCom designed by Chad Los Banos for Böker or the rather similar Benchmade RescueHook, the Fox ERTool is made of 420 stainless steel and comes with a kydex sheath.

It’s available in two colours, black & military green. The sheath allow to kind of carrying, clipped to a […]

Victorinox Black Soldier

The Soldier from Victorinox is the official Swiss Army Knife (until 2007, at least and with its Wenger’s cousin) and is one of the best EDC knife available today.
Compact, sturdy, very classy and dressy, it got a slighty buffier blade than its celluloid’s brothers from the Officier series. The selection of tools is very well […]

Leatherman Monarch 500

It seems that Leatherman is going to offer besides its quality tools and knives a line of Cree ledlight. It risks to be heavy (6 AAA batteries in a stainless steel body…) but don’t seems to be bulky, not much than classical 2 x CR123 tactical flashlight alla Surefire 6P.
Price TBA.
Discuss it on EDC Forum

Atwood new creations

I’ve just seen last week three very interesting variations around the classical Atwood design of an EDC prying tool : the BugBites, the BottleBug and the Crawdaddy.
Departing from the Prybaby, each model have its own specific usage, beside the prying and the screwdriving. The BugBite, a wonderful titanium keychain tool, comes with an integrated hexabit, […]

Leatherman Skeletool

That strange looking multitool is the new offer from Leatherman, and it’s rather innovative, at least in the concept : you won’t have every tools for every occasion, but you’ll have the basics in a light and everyday carryable form factor.
I like the facts that multiple specialised screwdrivers are dismissed for switchable hexabit screwdrivers, this […]
