I've gravitated toward reducing my watch collection this year to just a few pieces that I'm really into, instead of a large number of pieces that I sometimes feel like wearing. It has really made me stop and appreciate each piece for what it is and what it offers. I've also gotten into knives and flashlights as well. It's crazy how much flashlight technology has improved in the last 10-15 years. My tiny little AA powered light completely blows away any old flashlight I've had in the past.

6:05 fountain pens are, like watches and smartphones, graded according to their tier. There are some low midrange ones by reputable companies like Parker themselves that are very affordable. Having owned some 7 fountain pens, three of them that were inherited from a relative who passed away, I can tell you that even old ones that have not been used in 20 years do not leak unless they have been mistreated in some way, the way any item would after being improperly used. As a former school principal, I used to write a lot, and I switched to fountain pens full time during my last two years of that position and, let me tell you, despite the fact that there definitely is a learning curve (specially for lefties, since we may smear the still-wet ink), the feeling of gliding the pen tip over paper is unmatched. I had to switch back to ballpoint for a few days and the STRAIN on my wrist was noticeable. The con of using fountain pens is that you have to carry a spare cheap ballpoint anyhow, in case someone wants to borrow a pen from you (lending fountain ones leads to people damaging the tips, due to inexperience). Great content, as usual

Really well done, TGV. Loved that you spent more time talking about the art on the phone cover than the phone itself. I also use the phone as a tool, but am not entirely keen on it's ball and chain qualities. I carry a Gerber Shard everyday as well. It might be of interest to know that the Shard is airport friendly and is an excellent way to have some useful tools at the ready when other tool options would not be permitted. I love my rings as well. I have long thought of having a signet ring made, but I fear I wouldn't wear it too often. My wife had a custom ring made for me after my Navy retirement, and that with my wedding ring suits me for now. HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY, MY FRIEND! At least I got it in within the month. I discovered a new pen this year. I have always been a Cross pen guy, but sadly it seems that supply of refills has gotten problematic. I looked hard at the Parker Jotter, but I have found it hard to find the metal barreled versions. I am not keen on the lightness of the plastic versions. I discovered the Rotring 600. It is absolutely splendid. Rock solid - made like a tank, unique and accepts an endless array of refills ( same refills as the Jotter). Interestingly, Fisher, who make the Spacepen, make refills that fit both the Rotring and Parker. So if anyone has a Rotring or Jotter but wants the capabilities of the Spacepen.....that is doable for about $6. The Roman coin pendant, while it wasn't the first time I had seen it, it is stunning. Loved the new Carl Friedrik wallet. Looks excellent. As for knives, I received a Laguiole from my son for Christmas, and you are absolutely correct ....they are wonderful. My everyday knife is a Cold Steel TiLite or Benchmade. My backup is usually my Leatherman MUT. Totally agree that the GMT is fantastically useful. Also, have found myself extremely content with my collection for now as well. Good to hear you are like wise. Really happy to hear you are doing well so far this year. Thanks for the excellent content as always. Looking forward to what's next! Be well. Onward and upward.

When at work I carry a tourniquet in my work pants as well. When not at work I keep bags with a little more than a normal IFAK in both cars and in my house. I find an IFAK usually doesn’t have anything for an injury less than a sucking chest wound, and with twin 9yo boys, I patch a lot of bicycle crash road rash, falls from trees, or stepping on something sharp.

I also have my Parker ball from when I was a teenager, and I have my father's silver Parker that is etched with the black hatching. Must be from the late 60s. In '97 I was in Kusadasi on my way to Ephesus and bought a beautiful 18k Byzantine chain that I've with every day..picked up a beautiful gold and lapis lazuli scarab in the Khan el-Kahlili in Cairo that is on it now. Then you showed us your Roman coin. I bought a similar one years ago from a little shop at the entrance to Petra. I've wondered what to do with it.. now I know, so that's a great idea you passed on. My small Swiss knife has been on a keyring since I was given it in '91. And my red car comes from Modena. As I said, so many common interests. Always enjoy your topics and style.

My EDC: - Olight O-pen 2 pro in orange, Its a bloody nice pen plus a rechargeable led flashlight and laser pointer in a nice somewhat slim package. I love it. Its heavier then my jptter but its so handy. I have a few of these in different version but the latest is my fav. - A small Olight Baton 3 LED flash light in red. Great small flashlight. As with my O-pen2 its in bright colors cause I've discovered (and probably others) that when you need a flashlight nothing is worse in the dark like trying to find a BLACK flashlight, 😅 - My knife as always lately is the Boker Urban trapper with wood handle scales. Great knife that usually doesn't draw looks of disaproval. - My multitool (when not working) is my Victorinox Alox Pioneer or farmer. Those knurled? aluminium handle scales are fantastic and the weight is ok. - My Multitool (working) is my Leatherman Wave+. I can fix my glasses, fix a computer all the way to turn a bolt o a tractor with those plus they are not as obnoxiously heavy as some multi tools.😅 I don't carry it when not working cause its still like carrying a brick compared to a medium sized Victorinox. So from the above I don't always carry all of these at once but I ALWAYS have my keychain. On my keychain/lanyard (I'm disabled hence the tacky lanyard) I've got a wistle, a small leatherman squit, an Olight i1R 2 in orange (fantastic light is so powerful rechargeable and yet so small), a collapsible pen, and and a small pain pill bottle for emergencies (chronic back pain). As too watches my every day are depending on how I feel or what I might need. These are the ones that I can wear all day that don't effect my arthrities/nerve sensitive in my hands, - Casio Protrek PRW-6600y-1a9cr. Love the watch and its capabilities. I might be getting a titanium PRW-60T to go with it. - Seiko SafArnie SNJ031. I love that green and the movies Arnold wore this series of watches in.😅 - Casio Protrek PRW-30-1A. Its my only JDM. - Casio Gshock solar 5600 on a combi bracelet. Casio REALLY needs to offer more watches on combi bracelets, They are sooo comfortable! - My Citizen Promaster Nighhawk BlueAngles on a bracelet. I have other watches of course but I really like to get watches I'm not scared to scratch up. This year I'd really like to get a Protrek Prw-60T or Prw-70t (both have titanium bracelets) and a Casio Gshock GST-B300E or GST-B200. I'm a huge solar watch fan and nobody does it like Casio as far as I'm concerned,

Great EDC 2022 video TGV. Some great items, unsurprisingly. Of course all the items are classy.... As the Nespresso advertisement says, "what else?". Have a good upcoming week sir

Would love a specific episode on knives. I recently got into it, and it's a completely new rabbit hole I'm entering 😅. I went with Laguiole thanks to you!

Hi, TGV, could you please add subtitles for non-English speech in your videos? I feel like I’m missing out in these moments.

Leather Secrid wallet - very compact & secure, Swiss army executive, Apple tag as keychain because I am a muppet, Rolex explorer. Knomo Brompton with Belroy tech kit for cables, chargers and adapters, etc., Bose QC 45 headphones (great on planes maybe to be replaced by Senheiser), compact wash kit in case I get stranded traveling or need to freshen up), MacBook Pro and iPad.

I keep my flash memory card/USB sticks in a tic tac box. Highly recommend it if you carry multiples cards.

For the leather organizer you should look at a company called tail of knives, they are handmade in the USA

Don't forget the Parker lead pencil. Then you could mix-n-match your Jotters. Good vid. Keep at it!

I did not know that I wanted an Ancient Roman coin until I saw this video. I might have to give Marcus Aurelius’s Meditations a read as well. I think my father has that on his bookshelf.

For the first time ever, I'm going to try to wear mostly one watch for the entire year - the Spaceview DNA I bought after your review of the 2020 one, it feels like being part of an experiment. When I expect to need one I bring a Leatherman C33 knife, other than that I travel light. For portable music I only do so if bringing my backpack, Hifiman HM-901 MP3 player and some Denon closed back full headphones. They're bulky but there's nothing portable even now that sounds as good and prevents other people in an office having to endure noise from my enjoyment. A lot of people just don't consider the effect noise leakage from open back headphones and many earplugs has on other people in a quiet environment.

FORGE DE LAGUIOLE, I had one (probably still have it somewhere) that I ordered from France. What I remember is how sharp it was, and how stiff it was to close. The last time I used it, I was attempting to close it and it snapped back, cutting into the main joint of my right index finger. My job required extensive typing, and the resulting injury to the joint was a major reason I decided to take early retirement. But it was a beautiful knife!
