Tacray Mini Pen

Ryan

Keychains

Only 3.5″ long and weighs nothing basically… Uses LAMY refills too, so it should write pretty well.

July 7, 2022

For the very few of you that are camera nerds, this is sort of a big deal. CameraQuest is gonna be releasing the new 50mm Nokton today. Dirt cheap for a 50mm F1.0 with solid reviews ($1,799) and build quality almost that of Leica.

Gato Pocket Bit

Ryan

Keychains

Super simple design – a combination driver bit with a keychain attachment. You aren’t gonna put much torque on anything with this, but I can see where and when this would be handy.

Stilo VR

Ryan

Tech

Racing Sims are getting ridiculous. Hell, half the F1 grid came up on them and the realism often prepares them as well or better than carting. And now, we add VR? Absolutely crazy realism.

Adding to this, Stilo is getting ready to launch a helmet designed to work with VR goggles.

Pioneer X WESN

Ryan

Bags & Wallets, Knives & Tools

I’m a huge fan of Pioneer. They use materials that others don’t dare to and they do it with a smart eye on design. And while I have yet to try their new pouch line, they look dope as hell. Recently, they launched a collaboration with WESN… Essentially, it’s a Pioneer Global pouch packaged with a titanium micro blade from WESN.

M-19 Multi-bit Screw Driver

Ryan

Knives & Tools

A pretty clever design for something that I don’t think has been perfect just yet – an EDC multi-bit screwdriver. This attempt uses a skeletized frame with magnets… Pretty good.

1733 Side Back

Ryan

Bags & Wallets

1733 makes bespoke bags as well as anyone. Attention to detail, build quality, design… it’s all there. Thing is, they are NEVER in stock. If you are in need of a large cross shoulder or fanny bag, now is your chance.

Kith + Mad Contax G2 Kit

Ryan

Tech

To be frank, I have no idea who Kith or Mad is… But, they collaborated by restoring a bunch of Contax G2 cameras and releasing them in crazy colorways. The G2 is one of my all time favorite film cameras and these things look to be pretty damned cool.

These haven’t been release yet, but once they are you will find details here.
