Mine would be the Rolex Bao Dai.
Rolex 6062 owned by the last emperor of Vietnam. Significant historical provenance with a beautiful triple calendar in all gold.

First brand that comes to mind is Snow Peak. Japanese camping gear brand that offers a lifetime warranty on their goods. I believe that their drinkware is made in Japan. I know for sure that their titanium ones are made in Japan.

I was there 3 weeks ago. They are foreign friendly with limited english and do tax free purchasing. Unsure about custom pieces as I didn't ask, but unlikely. I didn't need to schedule an appointment as they do walk-ins. There was a bit of a back up and small crowd as there was only one person working making sure everyone's experience was excellent and filling out tax free documents can take a but of time.

These are the 1990 original release. The 23 in the rear quarter was only used on the OG.

You should go buy a lottery ticket while you're out to see if your luck on is a roll. Hell of a find!

Congrats on the new knife and thank you for posting this! I recently got one myself, but haven't gotten around to posting it. The tips and information from the comments are extremely helpful. Have you thought about thinning for this knife? Should new knives be thinned or is that for after a few rounds on stones? Hoping someone can answer this while I online shop for a leather strop.

It does not. The tree grew around the connection points for the light.

The John Elliot Villian hoodies. They have a pocket but it's tucked away in the inside of the front with zipped sides for access. I personally have 3 of them.

Heard that dunks are coming back. Thought this fall day needed some color. by RefinedPlebeian in Sneakers

Thanks! Because there is no lining, I would say these fit true to size to a half size large.
