stuff we drool about

EDC July

Four pieces that cover the fundamentals of a serious daily carry. A French assembled dive watch with 1960s heritage, Benchmade's lightest OTF automatic, a tactical take on the most trusted pen format in EDC, and a lighter armor system that solves every problem Zippo owners know too well. Nothing here is decorative. Everything works.

Wolbrook Skindiver II Automatic Dive Watch

Wolbrook watch
French assembled dive watch with genuine 1960s heritage. The Jumbo Indices green dial features oversized Old Radium Super LumiNova markers and seven layers of lume for exceptional low light readability. 40mm brushed 316L stainless steel case, glass box sapphire crystal, 200 meter water resistance, and a Citizen Miyota 9039 automatic with 42 hour power reserve. HexapleX shock resistant architecture floats the movement on rubber absorbers for impact protection most watches at this price skip entirely.

Benchmade Shootout OTF Knife

Benchmade
Benchmade's lightest and toughest out the front automatic. The 5371BK-03 pairs an S30V blade with a Ranger Green Grivory handle for a double action OTF that weighs just 2.8 ounces. Spine fired release button deploys and retracts with a snappy, reliable action that doesn't misfire. The blade sits centered, not offset like many OTF designs. A hardened carbide glass breaker and reversible deep carry pocket clip complete the tactical package. Made in Oregon City, Oregon. Check local knife laws before purchasing.

Fisher Space Pen 400 Bullet Cerakote TAD Edition

Triple Aught Design pen
Triple Aught Design's take on the Fisher Bullet pen. Cerakote finish for scratch and corrosion resistance over the standard chrome. The pressurized cartridge writes at any angle, underwater, in extreme temperatures, and in zero gravity. Compact enough to cap and clip onto a pocket. A tactical upgrade to the most trusted pen format in everyday carry.

Thyrm PyroVault 2.0 Lighter Armor

Pyrovault lighter case
A waterproof, crushproof, fuel evaporation resistant housing for standard Zippo style lighter inserts. The PyroVault 2.0 solves every problem Zippo owners have dealt with for decades: dried out fuel, cracked cases, and lighters that won't stay lit after sitting in a bag for a week. The O ring sealed aluminum body keeps fuel from evaporating, protects the insert from impact, and adds a lanyard attachment point. Compatible with standard Zippo inserts, butane inserts, and USB arc inserts. A lighter case that makes your lighter actually work when you need it.
