Virgil Abloh X Braun

Two things I love:

  1. Vintage Braun Industrial Design
  2. Virgil Abloh’s Graphic Aesthetic

Combine the two and you got something crazy special…

WESN Microblade

Read More

I don’t carry full-sized pocket knives. I just don’t like the way that much weight feels in my pocket. In the past, I’ve tried “micro folders” from Boker and others, but they feel too diminutive in hand and not all that useable. So, I’ve always settled on folders that sort of fall between these two classes.

Recently, however, I was sent a WESN Microblade to test along with a matching sheath. It’s a super classy setup that I wouldn’t carry every day, but is perfect for those outings where you just might need a blade.

The Microblade is available with G10 or titanium scales, features a decent blade steel, and feels pretty damned good in your hand despite the size. And even with the really high end feeling sheath, the whole package just disappears in your pocket.

You can get the Microblade here and the sheath here.

One Watch

An email from my one reader:

Hey Ryan. I want one watch for the rest of my life and I want it to work for every occasion – from a business meeting to a hunting expedition to the race track. I have $1500 to spend and that’s a mortgage payment to me… If I do this, I want something that will make me feel good about it.

Easy. I don’t even have to think about it. Get a Sinn 556 A RS on the bracelet. It’s a simple 38mm stainless watch with one of the best movements ever made. Plus, it’s stunning… absolutely stunning in its simplicity.

You will never regret buying a Sinn.

GigaDrive

Read More

If you work with large files and travel quite a bit, this is a big damn deal. Essentially, it’s a small external SSD capable of speeds as fast as 2,800MB/s. That makes it the fastest external drive on the market.

If you buy now, you can get it pretty cheap too… The 2TB is only $220. Not bad.

The NS-1

Read More

I’m not an outdoorsy guy. I’d rather work than go camping… But, for whatever reason, I love the “overland” aesthetic that has become all the rage as of late.

The NS-1 is a trailer built by CampWorks that sort of packages all that up into a self sustainable off-road trailer. It starts at $36k and gets more expensive very quickly as you add options, but I guess that’s the price you pay to be off the grid anywhere your rig can take you.

The Spirited Man…

Just stop what you are doing right now and watch this. You can thank me later…

And yes, yes I do. I consider myself a very spirited man.

Sonos Roam

Read More

I’ve been a Sonos guy for a long time. My house is littered with various generations of their products and, surprisingly, they all work pretty well together.

Recently, Sonos decided to release something a bit different… It’s a portable speaker that will mesh with your home wifi when you are at home… and then, go to bluetooth when you are on the road.

Pretty Dope.

The Canoo

The electrical revolution is just around the corner. It’s been baking for well over a decade now and you have to think we aren’t far off from reaching critical mass – the boring part of it all.

See, to me the excitement happens now… Now is when all of these freshly funded innovators take a shot at the big dogs and hope their athleticism and flexibility is enough to out perform the experience of the same old stale logos we have all grown accustomed too. Most, if not all, will fail miserably… Most real innovation does.

Welcome Canoo to the show… They are bringing with them some pretty dope ideas.
