The Gift Guide for Guys Who Love Selvedge Denim

[@d05wtt]

I’ve had that Leatherman for several years now as a EDC. It’s a perfect size for a pocket…not too big, not too small. I also have several different versions of it.

[@CeeAreDee]

Yeah. Looks to be a super practical knife

[@503punxoioioi9]

I found a silver Kaweco Sport like the one you showed on the ground at my job a few years ago. I always pick up pens on the ground, you never know it'll be a good one or not. Last pen on the ground I found was a Fisher Space Pen. Found a Cross Classic years ago dumpster diving, it's my favorite everyday pen to use, it feels nice in the hand and it just flows across the page so effortlessly when writing. It was in with a bag of probably 50-60 other pens when someone was getting rid of a bunch of office stuff, only good quality pen of the bunch.

[@michaeltesterman2109]

I carry one of those Leatherman knives everyday at work and I love it.

[@Losersluck_]

The evergoods civic access pouch 2L is the best pouch I’ve ever seen. So good that I own 3 of them.

[@aidandouglas6341]

One thing I bought for the day to day is slightly fancy leather phone case from a company called torro based out of Newcastle. I wanted something with a bit style and once I heard it was from the north east I decided it was the case for me. (I'm not from Newcastle but from Middlesbrough. Up the Boro!) Nice to support a business from my neck of the woods

[@MisterBPhoto]

The Kaweco Brass Sport pen is an absolute classic. My wife bought me the fountain pen version for my birthday and it has been in my pocket every day since. Out of all the stuff I own and use on a day to day basis, this little pen is the item I would be totally gutted if I lost and would need to replace in a heartbeat.

[@archiebawld]

My genius of a wife also bought me the Kaweco Brass Sport fountain pen - and she hadn't even seen this video.

[@dustinscheller44]

Civivi Elementum would be my knife recommendation if region of manufacturing is no obstacle. Small enough but still usefull. Still gentlemanly. You won't cry yourself to sleep should you misplace it. Check one out if you can! The civivi nox is a solid oone as well if you prefer the look of metal type scales

[@adasdemo]

Could you make a guide video on quality European brands, so I wouldn't have to spend half of my money on shipping? :D

[@brunonjezic6208]

I wpuld love to know more about European made rugged stuff

[@adasdemo]

@@brunonjezic6208 yeah, the buy it for life thing's

[@elisovic8836]

yes please!

[@madbrainmakesnosense8229]

This would be very nice. For clothes I bought from Asphalte, Pike Brothers, Nudie… there must be more of these companies I guess. On the other hand we have some very good stores where you get quality stuff, yes you do not have the same amount to choose from like online but I can live with it.

Spyderco and benchmade are always a great choice for knives

[@CeeAreDee]

Thanks. Yeah I’ve heard good things

[@プッチアーロン]

Japan-only, straight-edge, Spyderco Harpy - the Hannibal Lecter variant knife. Very hard to come by, but will put off anyone trying to take your ‘aspirin’ holder next time you go to a disco. 😂

[@Bloodstryke]

Kershaw Scallion best small edc knife and I have tried many

[@robertjimenez1611]

If you’re going to recommend knives I suggest putting a little for research in to it. The titanium knife you have linked shows two different steels under the description and materials. At the price point it is not very recommendable, especially if it is using the 14c28n steel listed under materials. The leatherman is also not the best value for money imo. Here’s a few I would recommend: CJRB Pyrite- costs under 70 and is a great bang for buck with a cool fidget factor. Benchmade bugout- very lightweight American made knife for around 160. Chris reeves sebenza- Stellar reputation in the folding knife community. Heirloom quality made in the USA 🇺🇸

[@88sstraight]

My edc other than two keys (shed and house, don’t have a car) and key ring is the Victorinox Classic SD Alox and… a 2 metre measure tape. Can’t say exactly why, but that gets a lot of use. My daily bag for the last few years is by Christos over at Sailsmith, but sadly the website is down right now. Mine is a mini duffle but he makes marine type bags (including totes, obviously) out of incredibly robust cotton canvas - I suggest that a local maker of this type would be a good source for such.

[@didamnesia3575]

I've been thinking about a sherpa lined type 3 jacket. Can't decide... I have so many jackets as it is

[@503punxoioioi9]

Those are nice. I've had a vintage one one from the thrift store. I currently wear a limited edition Wrangler x Billabong lined jean jacket I found on a trash can at my work. Have other jean jackets as well, but for the cold season I'm really enjoying this one.

[@robertoceja7875]

Recommendation for German residents. Per German law, you can carry either locking knives with 2 hand operation, or one handed non locking knives. For this i would recommend the Kizer Zipslip in titanium. Classy looking yet robust and doesn’t look offensive. I’m from the US and would still recommend it to anyone. Also, I usually have a lot of trouble with piezo ignition lighters so I prefer butane lighters with flint ignitions. IM Corona lighters are a little pricier than zippos with butane inserts (but nowhere near the price of a Dunhill or ST Dupont), but with proper care they will last forever. Most models have a classic look to them and they are made in Japan, so I think thats a bonus as well for selvedge denim enthusiasts.

[@CeeAreDee]

Amazing. Thanks for the tips.

[@PelagicChaser]

What shirt are you wearing mate ?

[@lonniesharp9109]

Decent list brother. As far as the Knife goes. Leatherman is good, but all I can say is: Kershaw, Kershaw, Kershaw. I've had my super slim skeletonized one for years and wouldn't get anything else. Also, the clip is removable and it has the "flippy outty thing".

[@503punxoioioi9]

Found a Kershaw dumpster diving last year in the original packaging. Nice knife.

[@CeeAreDee]

Didn’t own any till now but I’ve had my hands on them. They are so so good.

[@djchesterhk]

@@CeeAreDee that’s incredibly positive to hear. The journey for the perfect tee has been long and tiresome for me. Just ordered a pack…hope my journey stops here. 😂

Sadly can't use airtag with Android right? If you like leather pouches or card holders take a look on strhandmade, he's handcrafting everything and based in Estonia

[@brunonjezic6208]

Unfortunately Leaderman doesn't pass legality test in Germany. Knife can be eider one hand opening or locking, not bouth it seems. I learned this after getting a Leatherman skeletool that i really love. Dang

So I was going to order the AirPods Pro Case and they want $50 shipping?! That’s madness. I appreciate there may be diseconomies of sending smaller product but not to that extent….

[@CeeAreDee]

Wow, what? Ok, that can't be right. Maybe write to them and ask, Surely that is a mistake.

[@syhgoods8277]

Btw free shipping for order over $100

[@RespectTheChemistry]

I watched it anyway 🙈

[@jurgenbrandt642]

German knife customers should know, that carrying easy flip-to-open knifes in public is illegal. I would have been happy if you'd mentioned this

I really don't get "edc". Key and wallet all the way.. who needs knifes and all the other stuff?

[@88sstraight]

My knife has a scissors and nail file on it, useful day to day - I even ground a hook on the end of the file to use as a toothpick, never to be lost again like the little plastic ones.

[@didamnesia3575]

I always carry a knife. It has always been helpful when I needed one. When you say you've never needed one, it says a lot about you and how useful you can be

[@503punxoioioi9]

I carry bandana, knife (because of living in the city and all the sketchy people on the street), ear plugs for concerts. I don't even carry a wallet or watch, just a card and some cash for a drink/meal/tip and my ID. Try to be as basic as possible. Having a bottle opener and a screwdriver on your keychain can be helpful as well.

[@503punxoioioi9]

@@didamnesia3575 Same can be said for a screwdriver. It's usually a situation when someone else needs help and asks if you have anything on you to unscrew/screw something. Last thing I used mine for was when I was out and found a large pet carrier for free to resell, too big to get in my car, unscrewed the pieces w/ my keychain screwdriver and was able to put half the carrier in my backseat and half in my trunk. Very useful.

[@didamnesia3575]

@@503punxoioioi9 many people, not me, carry a multi tool all the time. I have one in my vehicle. I'm always going to carry a knife except in those areas where it is illegal to do so.

[@FilmaticProductions]

Chill with the digital zooms bro.

[@dark_gravity_edc]

Sorry about the knife thing on the previous video. The thing about pocket knives is the number of options at various price points. It's hard to recommend what to get and easier to say no. Good start is look up a KZbin video by someone that focuses on knives, not as an afterthought for them. Neeves Knives, Metal Complex are 2 big channels but both are honest. To replace the WESN. I'd look at QSP Penguin in full titanium. Better steel and handle options. I have 3 Penguins, 2 titanium and 1 in denim Micarta. Penguins start at about $40 and go up to $150 US depending on material. Now, if you want a bigger player the Chaves 229 Redencion Street is full titanium with great steel but it's expensive at $300 US. There's also TwoSun, they have a vast selection and great prices. All well made.
