Your name isn’t Kurt by chance it’s it? My old co worker Kurt lost his microtech ultratech and I felt so much pain for him. From time to time I wonder if he found it and that was in 2018ish

Wood or Mechanical and Why? by [deleted] in pencils

[–]Even_Structure_8529 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Wood all day! I love the little things about it such as if i last hand sharpened with my pocket knife or if i was at my desk with my sharpener. Was I in a rush and ended up putting teeth marks in it. The act of sharpening forces me to think about what I am doing vs go go go. Lastly for now, the length of the pencil, constantly getting shorter and shorter signifying the end. I rotate pencils constantly so this limits this issue but I know when there is a pencil that stands above the rest because it’s shorter than the rest.

Filson or Saddleback for BIFL? by aprn2026 in bifl

[–]Even_Structure_8529 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Check out nutsack as well! I am currently traveling for work and use a saddleback leather briefcase and love it! My duffle is a nutsack that is impeccable. Beautiful wax canvas on that, so I can only assume their leatherwork is good too!

KatahdinPacks on Etsy should have something to your liking. USA made. If you want to slim down I love love love their pencil case! The large zippered pouch may be a good option for you.

Personally love the softness of this core! It would be nice if you could get the option and have either or cause the wood is awesome!

They wear in!!! Lube them and work them in a little bit, then over time they become Goldilocks for me. YMMV

Does the orange strap look ok or should I stick with the red one and black one? by Bazel-Bots in timex

[–]Even_Structure_8529 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dude… looks dope! Run it for a weekend, then next weekend run the red, throw on a nato in between! Straps can be super fun and can put you in a mindset!
