My love for brass & bronze started with the Microtech [Sigil]. It still is by far my most carried knife. I recently added the Runt 5, and have been trying out carrying two knives. I really love the bolt action Fellhoelter, the weight of the brass and the smooth action make this a joy to use. I had been looking for a bronze watch for a bit when I found the Boldr. I paired it with the nato strap, and it’s such a great combo. I know the strap is a bit bulky but I think it looks good and fits with the watch. The Hank is awesome, if you wear glasses you need one. I love the Greenroom notepad, I use them all of the time. With my job I do a lot of writing on the go so the hard cover comes in handy.

In the near future I’m going to change my wallet. Thinking about changing to a front pocket design. Any suggestions?

This has been my carry for a while now and it’s a collection of solid products from amazing makers. Other than swapping a pen in and out occasionally, this is my standard pocket dump.

This is my usual weekend carry, I like to keep it light and simple. The Sebenza usually stays in my rotation throughout the week. But the watch and other items change depending on the situation. Love your videos!

Good day, this is my simple carry when I’m on for a quick trip to the grocery or to grab a coffee. I bought the watch modified from @mchwatches on Instagram. I love this small quick go to pocket knife, it’s not scary to deploy when in public.

I spent a few days painting at work last week and these were the tools I found myself using the most. I also like to color coordinate my EDC, so I enjoyed the greens and browns in this Earth toned carry.

The Marathon watch in the picture is my first gateway watch to the more expensive side. I truly love this watch, it finds most of its time on my wrist. Everything else tends to switch out day in and day out. I appreciate the features and keep up the great work!

I am now looking to start a brass and leather carry, however don’t know where to start. I have a brass pen but I don’t know where to start looking for a flashlight, knife etc. Any help/advice would be appreciated.

I am pretty happy with the gear in this photo. I regularly carry it all and have really refined my carry. While the PM2 isn’t the most exotic or heavily modified I am quite happy with it and carry it often. The flashlight is certainly my most heavily used item; it is absolutely essential to me in my daily life. Pen is more for taking notes at work, but it’s handy to have. The wallet is a fantastic piece and I’m loving watching it age and patina. Lastly the hank, I’m happy to support makers in the Discord and love the handmade feel of the products Adam makes, and on top of that he is just a solid guy.

Looking for a copper flashlight that is AAA/AA size, roughly under $200 that isn’t an FWAA.

I’m having an existential crisis over the future of my collection. I love the things I have, but I also want to dip my toes into $1200+ knives like the NCC Knives BBM V2, OZ Roosevelt, Rassenti small Nirvana, Grimsmo Rask, etc. but I don’t have the money to add, I only have the ability to sell my stuff to buy new stuff and I love my current stuff. What is your thought process when this happens to you or do you not worry and just keep buying?
