Welcome to GOIBNIU (pronounced “GOIVINIU”); a blog bringing you special and funny stories, articles and anecdotes that will take you on exciting journeys and adventures as you explore the world of knives, food and drink, and much more.

The idea behind this blog is to guide you, my readers, in a simple but funky manner, on how to find and explore knife exhibitions, knife shows, knife museums, knifemakers, good restaurants, places where we can raise a glass and have a laugh, where we can stay over and where the knives and gear that we appreciate aren’t a taboo subject.

That is why I have chosen GOIBNIU as the name for the blog. An ancient god in the Irish Celtic mythology, a god who stands for forging, metalworking and in all his forms, brewing beer and craftsmanship. It’s in the spirit of GOIBNIU that this blog will take you on a wonderful journey.

The GOIBNIU blog will bring you a weekly update with short posts and photos, articles on novelties, gear tests, reviews of beers and more.

Rules, terms and conditions:

• Beware, alcohol abuse can damage your health.

• Drink responsibly.

• It is forbidden to consume alcohol under the age of 18 (Europe)

• Beware, follow your local and country rules when using or transporting a knife or any other cutting tool.

What do those # (hashtags) mean?

It's a form of an award that our blog gives when the article earns it. Some articles will appear without a # because it could be just information or publicity.

​

So: 5 # = Excellent

4 # = Super Great

3 # = Great

2 # = Okay

1 # = Good Start

In the near future, there will be a sticker of our logo that will show you that the places we have visited (knife shops, bars, cafés, restaurants, tourist offices, and others) can earn our logo. So you, the readers, have a certain waypoint. The idea behind this is that you know where to find the fun of having pleasure in living the GOIBNIU spirit.
