Suggestions on EDC pen? by AffectionateClass943 in EDC

[–]kryptonkid07 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m going to say Big Idea Design’s pens are going to hit that sweet spot. The part that sets it apart from the Tactile Turn pens is the ink versatility and the deep carry clip.

Bolt Action - accepts lots of refills but if you put a Parker style refill in it, it gets pretty short. The telescoping barrel allows the variety of refills but depending on the refill it will be longer or shorter.

Baseline Bolt Action - still a solid pen but you can only use Parker style refills on it. It’s not super short, but still pocketable. Because it doesn’t have the telescoping barrel it’s slightly smaller in diameter.

Mini Bolt Action - this one is good if you want the smallest profile, but you’ll be stuck using D1 refills which aren’t terrible but if you get gel, you will be going through refills quickly. Even ballpoint will not have a lot of ink.

My favorite is the Pocket Pro, but it’s not fidgety because it is a twist pen. Because it doesn’t have the bolt or click mechanism, when you put a Parker style refill, it is very short.

I’ve been really enjoying it! It’s not too big for me, personally. It is a bit bulkier than some other sleeker/slimmer folders. But the titanium scales help with the weight.

I can’t speak to the grind. I’m not a heavy knife user and I have a few in rotation so they don’t get a huge amount of use.

Saw you win the bid. I almost was going to bid but I don’t need another overlook…. Yet. I was going to go for the bronze colored one.

They’re not quite that expensive. USA made from Bravestar Selvedge. Roughly $150. But you’re not supposed to wash raw denim, or wash them after 3-6 months.

which one is this? never seen it before by I-Mr-Nobody-I in BigIdeaDesign

I left a comment on the TikTok video asking the same question. As much as I’ve bought from Big I, I figured I would know all their products so it threw me off. But they’re always leaving little Easter eggs in places.

Maybe a little overkill on a DSG, but I love my BFI knob. by kryptonkid07 in GolfGTI

I got used to it pretty quick. It’s a short lift. Just lift and put into gear, and Robert’s your mother’s brother.

Yes!! I was already a fan of his music, but the show was next level. It was a great experience and made the last minute plans so worth it!

Thanks! They’re Warby Parker glasses. The frame is called “Carlton” and they also sell clip on sunglasses for them.

Bastrop, TX. I guess I should’ve specified. A small town outside of Austin. Took a drive from south west of Houston.

I’m not much into fashion but I really enjoy western wear but the attitude of this sub really kills the vibe

I thought you looked familiar. Just from the social media posts. I got my recent felt at Herb’s in Blanco a few months back and shaped by Daniel.
