How would you describe the philosophy and core values of the PENTAGON brand?

The Pentagon brand is built on the philosophy of “form follows function.” This design principle means that the appearance or shape of an object should be determined by its practical purpose and use, not just aesthetic reasons. This means that design should first respect functionality and only then focus on aesthetics, ensuring the result is not only attractive but above all useful and efficient.

The pentagon symbol in the Pentagon logo represents the balance between nature, people, and performance – connecting functionality, aesthetics, and harmony.

What makes your clothing suitable for outdoor activities compared to the competition?

Our main goal is to produce clothing that stands out not only for its durability but also for its well-thought-out fit and functional details. The products are always thoroughly designed with emphasis on resistance, mobility, and practical solutions (storage, gear compatibility), tested under extreme conditions.

What technological innovations or materials are typical for PENTAGON products?

Pentagon uses top-quality textiles, durable materials containing nylon, and importantly, mechanical stretch – which is not very common in the commercial market. Mechanical elasticity in blended fabrics with high cotton content, reinforced with Ripstop structure, perfectly expresses the brand’s philosophy – combining durability, functionality, and comfort in one.

Who are your customers, and who appreciates Pentagon’s qualities the most?

The Pentagon brand is trusted by a wide range of users, from professionals to everyday urban users. It is especially appreciated by armed forces professionals who demand high durability, functionality, and reliability in tough conditions. Pentagon is also popular among outdoor enthusiasts and adventurers who need reliable gear for nature, trips, or expeditions where comfort must be combined with resistance to the elements. An important segment includes urban users seeking practical, robust, and stylish solutions for daily use – whether for work, leisure, or sports. Pentagon thus merges functionality and design to meet the demands of various lifestyles and professional challenges.

Can you tell us about the history of the brand and its beginnings? Who are the people behind it?

Pentagon was founded in Greece in 1991 as a family project with a clear vision – to create quality, functional, and innovative tactical and outdoor equipment. From the very beginning, Pentagon relied on a combination of precise craftsmanship, modern materials, and continuous development to meet the needs of professionals and active adventurers. Thanks to this, the brand has gradually established itself globally as a recognized player among the major names in the military, security, and outdoor gear segment. Behind the brand are people with a passion for detail and functionality, always striving to deliver solutions that meet even the most demanding expectations.

How does sustainability and ecological responsibility play a role in your production philosophy?

The brand invests its own resources into infrastructure and process optimization with a focus on long-term sustainability, emphasizing quality and durability – because product longevity is one of the most important, yet today one of the most controversial, factors influencing sustainability. At the same time, we are gradually including more materials with a lower environmental impact, such as PFC-free fabrics or finishes free from PFC and PFOA.

What are your latest trends and new products we can look forward to?

Each year, several new products are introduced with a focus on hybrid use – blending tactical and civilian elements, new technologies, and lightweight, high-performance materials. Many products are still under development and never make it to the final Pentagon offering because they don’t pass the strict selection process.

Why did you choose to collaborate with Knifestock?

We see Knifestock as a promising and established partner on the market, known for its high level of expertise, quality customer service, and clear focus on the target customer. These values naturally align with the Pentagon brand’s philosophy, which is known for its emphasis on quality, functionality, and precise workmanship. We are proud of our long tradition in tactical and outdoor equipment, as well as our innovative approach and ability to continuously adapt to customer needs.

We believe this shared value foundation creates a strong basis for a successful and long-term partnership. We are confident that through this collaboration, our products will be presented and distributed with the same emphasis on quality and values that define our brand.
