The HardCase Tactical MIL2AA1L isn’t your regular Energizer work flashlight. It’s still rugged, in plastic, with a LED, but it’s fairly expensive, in a price range of $ 70, traditionnaly associated with brands like Inova, LRI, Streamlight, Pelican or even entry-level Surefire.

Kurt Vonnegut Jr. was one of the most influential writers of the twentieth century, with very dark and ironics novels (a lot of thought food). I discovered him when I was in university, and I quickly associated him with the Science-Fiction new wave great authors (Dick, Disch, Spinrad, …), but I think it was probably [...]

Looking like a piggybank, this cutty USB card-reader is one of the funniest and brightiest idea in this domain, where all other readers are awfully boring. You got four slots to use various card formats (SD, CF, XD, MS, Mini SD, T-flash/Micro SD) through the USB 2.0 connexion.

I think that since it works only with [...]

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…).

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 love the idea. Not too much the design, too sober or not enough for my living space.
It comes also with a ninety [...]

The wonderful song by Nina Simone, recorded in 1992.

This little swiss-knife is an evolution of the previous Evolution model. This model, which is different from the “genuine swiss army knife” only by its ergonomic handles, was probably the most innovative change in the line of the little pocket red knives. I got one of these little knife when they came out, and I [...]

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 [...]

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.

Koffski is a german brand producing a rather interresting leather “man purse” which can be worn like a gun armpit holster, or with two more classical retention option (as a shoulder bag or at the belt). I found the idea amusing, but I think that the main drawback of this system is that you are [...]
