Functional luxuries.

Swiss knives were my first obsession - multi-functional, well-designed, built to last. Led me down into a deeper EDC rabbithole.

• Tenacious — First one after actually exploring EDC knives

  Spyderco

• No.8 Carbon — One of the modern classics.

  Opinel

• i3T 2 — EDC flashlight

  Olight

• Dime — Lost at BLR airport security

  Gerber

• Miniwallet Original — Highly recommend some version of this

  Secrid

• Altitude Billfold — My first kickstarter purchase

  Pioneer

  Seiko

• Seamaster ST 166-0209 (Vintage) — Don't know the story behind this one unfortunately
