Items of Want 006

Shinola Runwell 47mm


I’m a big fan of matte black and the design of this watch is incredible. Assembled in Detroit and built for everyday wear, I’m not sure if I’d take this off my wrist very often.

Schoolhouse Slogan Pencil Pack


Sayings include: Trust The Process, Truth Always Happens, Want Better Not More, Things Are Changing, and Let it Go. Sometimes we need a reminder of these thoughts.

Cooperhill Hand Restored Union Tool Boys Axe


I’ve gotten to talk to Chris online a few times and he seems like a standup guy. When he’s not maintaining trails, he hand restores axes and puts them up for sale and I’d like to support what he’s doing.

Check Letterpress Cards by Smock


Just about covers all of the bases in a thank you note. I’m horrible at sending cards and handwriting in general but this may help jumpstart things.

S.


S. looks like an incredibly immersive reading experience and I honestly don’t know much about it other than the fact it looks extremely interesting. Watch the video and see what you think.

Items of Want 005

[Acquired] DDC Stuff Sheath


From receipts to stickers to scraps of whatever, the “Stuff Sheath” is meant to hold it. Made in the USA and designed by Aaron Draplin.

The Clean-Cut Wallet


The creator of this minimalist wallet reached out to me to get my thoughts and while I haven’t seen it in person, it looks great. Keep an eye out for the Kickstarter campaign any day now. Made in USA.

[Acquired] Palomino Blackwing Pencils


I have one of the pencils somewhere but my wife keeps stealing it. It’s incredibly smooth and just amazing to write with. You really have to try one for yourself.

The Sodbuster Jr.


While I don’t have any kids yet, this will most likely be the first knife they get. Made in Bradford PA by W.R. Case & Sons.

Campfire Cologne


I think this is equal parts funny and awesome. Photo by punktgestalten.

Items of Want 004

Machine Era Co. The Godwin


Made in USA and machined from cold formed steel. This model of opener features engraved art by William Godwin.

[Acquired] Cloak & Dapper Pocket Square - Park Green Plaid


I’m thinking this could make for a good hankie. Great colors and ready for Fall.

[Acquired] Fidelis Co. Field Pouch


A simple utility pouch is always useful. This one is padded to protect your valuable knick knacks.

Best Made German Locking Knife


The simplicity of this knife is what drew me in. The wood also looks fantastically aged but still strong enough to take on daily use.

Paddle Your Own Canoe


I can’t tell if I’m more of a fan of Nick Offerman or Ron Swanson but I think I’ll have to check out this book either way.
