No idea if these things are durable enough to be used in a real shop or even usable at all. But, you have to admire the aesthetic of an over-engineered driver designed with products of old in mind – namely, the Baumann-Weltrecord Driver. For the machinists out there, this would be a really fun product to make on your own… and for those without the tooling/skills, if nothing else… this is a pretty neat fidget toy.

A pocket folder designed entirely around the idea of comfort. It’s also oddly appealing from an aesthetic standpoint. Form follows function kind of deal. 154CM steel.

Bellroy does a great job with design, but I’ve always felt they were a little heavy handed with the branding. I just can’t get behind logos on my shit…

In any case, they just released a new Key Case that is very promising. It’s a traditional looking key wallet, but with a flipper mechanism (one-handed key operation) and a cam system that will eventually allow you to add tools to your key stack.

“Ryan, I want a traditional Swiss Army knife that I can daily carry and that offers me lots of tool options. I don’t want multiple examples – just one. What do you suggest?”

I’m not a Swiss Army knife EDC guy. I prefer disposable blades that I can open with one hand. However, I do own Swiss Army knives and use them in bags, vehicles, and other places where a multitool can be handy.

That all being said, I got an answer for you… And I think it’s a pretty uncontroversial one… The best all around Swiss Army knife for most people and more general purposes is probably the Victorinox Swiss Champ… not the Champion… but the CHAMP.

It’s a $100 (usually $70 on sale), a decent size, and includes most things you will need in a pinch. Also, if you don’t already know… the Victorinox scissors are the best in the multi-tool game.
