If I spent $300 on a wallet I’d no longer have a use for a wallet

[@Deks4k]

@@GoldAk47 just so they can call you dumb.

[@atsylor5549]

The $300 dollar wallet seemed outrageous to you but the custom knife that had to Be around a $1000 was acceptable . People make high end and custom versions of every single thing in life. Just because you don’t value it doesn’t mean other people won’t. And the things your willing to spend your money on is worthless in other people’s eyes.

[@darren1941]

@@atsylor5549 I never said I didn’t like the items just that they were way out of my price range. So yes if the $300 wallet is beyond my reach so is the $1000 knife even if it’s crafted from unicorn bone!

I was digging that F22 until you said it was $300. It solves the problem Ridge Wallets have with it being hard to get singular cards out, but damn that's steep for a wallet.

My thoughts exactly!

[@Unholymackrl]

@@dctexas11 i wanted it until the price , no thanks

They are completely hand-tooled and made from scratch 100% in the USA so, even though I agree the titanium is pricey you get what you pay for I think.

$300 for a wallet. That would be a hard no every time.

[@hardrock1826]

@@jojojojoundso Some people do tend to spend a lot of money on trendy things. What I found puzzling is going to The Blade Show and buying a wallet. There was always other sources for that online, like Amazon. But coming away from the show without any real knives I found odd. Could of bought a pretty nice fixed blade for that wallet money. You are right about that money clip thing.

Glad I got to meet you and say hello. Cool score on the pena that protech is a top tear score too though.

[@tedgorman12]

Love seeing your haul. I kept an eye out for ya, but no luck. Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed my first Blade Show! A few notes... Greg Stevens was awesome. I didn't pull the trigger on a watch and am regretting it. The Blue Steel Runt was crazy cool to look at, but it was way too small. Purchased a Peña X Series Barlow. I'd never used a front flipper before and now can't put it down. The crew at Vero Engineering was probably my favorite with whom to interact and I bought a Synapse which I am loving. I can't wait for the Impulse Mini and some red end cut CF milled scales for it like the XL. Ramon Chavez was so thoughtful and warm considering I am a newbie with little knowledge. Made a couple of new friends and look forward to continuing the journey with insights from guys like Taylor Martin. Carry on!

[@WhoIsSerafin]

It was a great time, more fun than I have had in a long time

$300 for a wallet! $425 for a flashlight! The average person just cannot afford these things! I carry a custom leather wallet I picked up in Sedona and a simple LED Solitare provide all the light I need!

[@DimitrisDimitrakakis]

I have solved the step tracking problem using the Garmin Vivosmart on my left hand together with my handmade silver Byzantine prayer bracelet and my custom Seiko SKX with 6R15 movement on my right hand. It is the smallest of all devices out there and the rubber once passed in through the clip, stays snug in there with no movement and no back draw plus it does not protrude like all the other devices do. You will forget you are wearing it and it will do exactly what it is supposed to do even better. All watches that also track heart beats do not sample in real time, they take samples every other minute. Wrist bands track your movements and heart rate every split second. Think about practicallity and getting the best out of your devices plus looking good wearing a superb analog watch! Hope this helped you.

[@JohnB551]

Check out the fossil hybrid watches, they are analogue and also count your steps. I have a few of them with different dials.

[@MF_UNDERTOW]

I’m definitely going after one of those TT pens.

If u want to wear an analogue watch, but also want to track your fitness, check out Oura Rings. It tracks the same info that your smart watch does, but it’s a ring. Looks cool, works well, and frees up ur wrist for a real watch. Love the vids, keep up the good work. If u pick up one of these rings, make sure to make a video about em.

Taylor dropping $5 G's at Bladeshow? No big deal lolol Really cool stuff man, thanks for showing us!

As for step tracking - maybe try Garmin Vivosmart 4? It's very low profile and it still ties nicely to Garmin Ecosystem. You can wear it on one wrist, while wearing analog watches on the other :)
