German Daily Carry Convention 2025

Again this year, the German Daily Carry Convention (GDC-Con) took place near Munich. The GDC-Con is a convention for EDC nerds by EDC nerds. No wonder we had to be there. 

Many exhibitors were on site with knives, hanks, leather goods, and the finest EDC gear. Many well-known and new knife manufacturers presented their products and were available to the interested audience for questions and answers. Here are some impressions from the convention.

The furthest traveled was HOG HOUSE from Finland. Tapio Syrjälä and Viljami Salonen personally attended and brought their knives.

This unique piece from HOG HOUSE is made of stainless Damascus and titanium Mokume.

All products from BLAUROCK BLADES are developed and manufactured with a maximum of passion and precision. 

LMSGear was on site showcasing new M.U.P.s in various colors, tobacco pouches, laptop bags, hanks, accessories, hats, and clothing. 

Blitz und DonarCH presented their collaboration knives with LMSGear. Here is the new EDC knife.

An everyday carry fruit knife with Kydex sheath from Blitz und DonarCH.

At the booth of BLACKCIRCUSLEATHERWORKS, handmade EDC-friendly bag organizers, sheaths, wallets, and other leather items were presented.

The EDC organizer is made of vegetable-tanned full-grain leather. It features a compartment for an SAK/folding knife of similar size, a compartment for pens, a compartment for a flashlight, and a compartment for other EDC equipment.

ALB KNIVES presented their EDC knives, folders, and kitchen knives in a somewhat unusual and humorous way. One cannot help but see a mischievousness in it.

It was a special pleasure to meet an old and good friend. Georg from G-GEAR was there and displayed his finest pieces. WINKLER and BEHRING at the table.

Christoph from the Black Forest, of FORGE WORKS, arrived with his knives and custom creations. The Falcata and the Gladius attracted a large number of interested visitors.

Knives as far as the eye can see, making the heart beat faster.

Utsch & Gierse, known in the scene as UG TOOLS, presented their innovations and some new products on site. We will report on it shortly. Stay tuned. From the elegant and practical french fry fork to the sturdy kubaton.

The 3DTi knives from UG TOOLS combine extremely light weight with the stability of a full tang knife - the most uncompromising knives in the world. Coming soon in our review. 

The bottle opener from BAUMANN EDC GEAR combines functionality and elegance in one design. It features an integrated small cutting edge for opening and removing labels and packaging. 

The magnetic sheath allows secure storage and easy access. The handle is ergonomically shaped. The N-Bier bottle opener is a reliable companion for any occasion.

BASTARDS KNIVES had a booth on site showcasing their products.

Having a BASTARD knife is not a trend, but a way of life that is reflected in the products.

With SCHANZ, who presented two of his new designs, an old acquaintance and professional from the knife scene was on site.

The KNIFE LOUNGE not only greeted with a warm Moin, but also presented a wide selection of high-quality pocket knives, fixed knives, handmade collector's items and exclusives, as well as great EDC knives and tools.

The pen is mightier than the sword, says an old proverb. KNIFE LOUNGE also offers high-quality pens for this purpose.

Handcrafted leather goods from BISONLEATHERWORX. Here is an exquisite Wallet.

The GDC-Con 2025 was very well attended. On site, people could exchange ideas, meet new people, have interesting conversations, and gather new ideas for their EDC. The weather was very good, the journey was without major problems. Everything was very well organized on site. Until next time.
