Thank you for the video! Which brand would you recommend for a simple black horn corkscrew? Is there a shop in Germany that you can recommend? I‘m based in Munich. Thanks!

This is a Laguiole video, I'm not sure why you ask for a corkscrew. But if you're interested in a Laguiole knife with a corkscrew, there's a shop in Munich you should visit: Hans Nahr, Sendlinger Straße 1 (messerexklusive.de/). They sell beautiful sommelier knives by Forge de Laguiole. EDIT: I just looked it up on Google Maps. It says "Permanently closed". 😞

@@disarmyouwitha Otter is a highly respected manufacturer. They make the famous Mercator knife (also known as the black cat knife). I think it's a good thing. The family that owns the Hubertus brand wasn't able to find a successor to run their own factory so they licensed the business to Otter.

WAYYYY over built & bulky compared to the little amount of space available to store things. That's a common issue with Maxpedition. I have the Mini & Micro pouches which are fine with space, but these would be too little for the bulk it creates. For example, if you pack the inside by using all the pockets then you can barely fit anything in the outside panels.

Sehr schönes Messer! Gefällt mir sehr mit dem reduzierten Design...
@leung94012 ай бұрын
Sehr schönes und solide verarbeitetes Messer, das ich sofort kaufen würde, wäre da nicht dieser grauenhafte Typografiesalat auf der Klinge. Ich mein, drei verschiedene Schriften, zwei in Versalien und serifenlos, eine mit klein und Grossbuchstaben aber mit Serifen und eine der serifenlosen auch noch in zwei Schnitten... das tut mir in der typografischen Seele weh. Ein ästhetischer Fauxpas, den übrigens leider viele Messerhersteller begehen. Ausserdem ist mir beim Kauf des Messers ja bewusst, dass es ein geschmiedetes Messer der Firma Carl Schlieper ist, diese Info brauch ich nicht auf der Klinge nachzulesen. Dass das Messer aus Solingen stammt, steht schon auf dem Ricasso, wozu also nochmals gleich daneben auf der Klinge? Das Augensymbol alleine würde ästhetisch so viel besser aussehen! Echt schade...
@StefanSchmalhaus2 ай бұрын
Die "Firma Carl Schlieper" existiert schon seit vielen Jahrzehnten nicht mehr, zuletzt war Carl Schlieper nur noch eine Marke aus der Solinger Manufaktur Friedrich Olbertz, die aber vor einigen Jahren ebenfalls vom Markt verschwand. Es gibt also leider niemanden mehr, der sich deine Kritik zu Herzen nehmen könnte.

@@leung9401 Ich sehe das relativ entspannt: Wenn es um ein hochwertiges Messer mit möglichem Sammlerwert geht, zählt natürlich jedes ästhetische Detail. Da wäre mir eine "geschwätzige" Klinge auch zuwider. Bei Messern, die wie dieses Sodbuster für den täglichen Gebrauch und nicht für die Vitrine bestimmt sind, ist mir das egal.

You didn't even tell me where you live. How am I supposed to know where you can find vintage German pocket knives? Get your grandson a Böker Sportmesser. Böker calls it Camp Knife in English.

Very nice. Hi from South west France. The only thing I don't like on those knives is the word ''Sons'' written in too big letters that draw too much attention. As far as I'm concerned, those ''japanese'' and ''navy'' douk douk are much more beautiful than the ''original'' Douk douk.
