TRAYVAX Venture Billfold

Ryan

Bags & Wallets

Trayvax is sort of famous for their aluminum framed slim wallets. Traditionally, they’ve been sleeve style wallets with multiple pockets. Recently, however, they’ve released a new folding wallet featuring an aluminum frame and it seems to be more flexible than their earlier offerings.

NuPhy Air75

Ryan

Tech

This isn’t some hyper-expensive mechanical keyboard with the perfect sound and feel. What it is, is a highly compact and slim line mechanical with a decent feel, good build quality, and a great price.

Timex Q GMT

Ryan

Watches

The latest from Timex is obviously influenced by the Rolex GMT, but is powered by a quartz movement and features a number of different vintage material influences. Stainless links, acrylic crystal, etc… Pretty dope.

Replica 1897 Limited Edition

Ryan

Knives & Tools

Pretty rad… Swiss Army is re-releasing their 1897 classic. They are only selling 9,999 of them… so if ya want one, you had better hurry! Or not… Are there really 10,000 people out there looking to spend $500 on a Swiss Army knife?

Coleman 1900 Collection

Ryan

Other Gear

Coleman just released a new line of coolers and other camping products with an eye on their history. The belted cooler is great looking, but I really dig the tumblers – kind of a vintage/modern mashup.

Apple CarPlay

Ryan

Tech

Apple announced iOS 16 and gave a little preview… Hidden within was the future of Apple CarPlay pictured above. Nuts, right?

Analog is dead… and that sucks.

Vyper Shop Stools

Ryan

Other Gear

Expensive American made stools for shop and office. I haven’t touched these, so I have no bearing on quality… But they do look nice. Still, they have to be really damned nice to offer any value at all.

Dango Carabiner & Shackle

Ryan

Knives & Tools

Pretty dope construction from Dango. I wonder if the lack of a pivot for the shackle becomes a pain? regardless, good materials and design…
