Who are "we"?

About us

Servus, my name is Martin and I created this project as a follow-up to years of experience and knowledge built around gear nerding. I've been at it for over a decade now, with one idea in mind.

I started sorting through and finding equipment that's still good enough to use, but costs only a fraction of its original price.

That matters a lot for individuals — whether you're a soldier who expects their gear to get harshly used, torn up within a month, lost, or stolen. The same idea applies to range use. You shouldn't have to worry about using your gear, while still getting the same performance and reliability as some fancy €1,000 piece of gear. Or it's about giving a student milsimer or airsofter access to items that aren't cheap Asian-made trash, but pieces that hold their value — something they can genuinely be proud to own, knowing the exact same item might once have been used by a real SF operator. Or maybe it's just for a hiker looking for a cool item with some history behind it — giving it another chapter in its life, to accompany them along their trails.

Whether you fit one of these examples or not, we're here to help you find what you need.

Somewhere along the way, the focus naturally drifted toward German forces — it turned out to be a cool, functional framework to build around. Still, we treat every other military as just as important as our main inspiration: KSK, the unit that shaped the style of this whole project.

This project is not in any way connected to any military unit nor it is trying to act as part of that - the whole project is just styled and supportive of the guys doing the hard work.

The guys

Our team

I've been lucky to find some genuinely great people along the way. Some came and went, some came back, and a few are still kind of coming and going. But every single one of them helped shape who I am today.

Officially, I run this whole thing alone. But behind the scenes, there are dozens of skilled and generous people helping me out — and I'm genuinely grateful for that.

Thank you, guys.

Right now there is a cooperation with several groups — namely D21 and Fschjgr 261 — along with individuals from various NATO units on a very casual and unofficial note, who help with recommendations and keep us up to date on current military trends.

Reaching out to units involved on the ground feels like a natural next step for future partnerships in the question of equipment regardless of final use.
