@joebot404 – Tsunami and a whole lot of EDC love
This week’s Carry of the Week goes to Jörn from Berlin – a knife enthusiast with a passion for exceptional design and everyday use.
From first impression to a permanent spot in the carry
Jörn lives in a suburb of Berlin and has a keen eye for knives that don’t just look good but also perform. That’s exactly what led him to the Piratech Tsunami and Piratech Tsunami Slippy.
The first time he held the Tsunami, it was immediately clear: “This feels unbeatable in the hand.” Sharp right out of the box, robust, and with a blade shape perfectly suited for precise cutting. Even though he can’t carry it in public, it’s in constant use at home and in the garden – from opening a roast package, to cutting ropes and cords, to sharpening wood for the fireplace.
The Tsunami was love at first sight. What excites Jörn the most: the scales can be completely swapped without any tools. For him, that’s a great way to quickly change the look of the knife or adapt it to different situations.
Shortly afterwards came the Tsunami Slippy. This slipjoint won him over with its adjustable backspring tension, which he can fine-tune to his preferences – giving it a secure, satisfying feel when opening and closing. The Micarta inlays provide a sure grip and a clean, elegant look. His wish: that the Slippy will one day also have interchangeable inlays, so he can customize it just as easily as his other EDC.
Whether prepping lunch, cutting ropes, or working in the garden – both knives have long proven to Jörn that they’re not just good-looking, but also shine in everyday use.
An eye for detail
Jörn pays attention to every aspect of a knife: How does it feel in the hand? How precise is the control? On the Slippy, he particularly praises the blade shape near the tip, which gives him fine control for detailed cuts. For him, it’s exactly these kinds of details that turn a good knife into a great one.
Pirate style meets high-tech
Jörn’s photos also have a clear signature. He combines modern materials like Micarta and titanium with maritime elements – sabers, harpoons, sailing. It’s a perfect match for Piratech and really brings out the character of the knives. For him, it’s important that a photo shows how much work and attention to detail goes into a knife.
