Tools and objects I carry or want to carry — chosen for craft, durability, and quiet design.

On the List

Liliput Fountain Pen

Kaweco

Writing

Ultra-compact metal pocket pen machined from solid metal — available in aluminum, brass, copper, and stainless steel. At just 97mm closed, it's one of the smallest fountain pens in the world. Originally released in 1910 and re-released in 2011. Posts to full writing length by screwing the cap onto the barrel. Uses standard international short cartridges. The brass version develops a distinct patina with use.

GMK Frost Witch 2

GMK

Desk

Double-shot ABS keycap set in Cherry profile, designed by community member megaforce. A lavender colorway inspired by Emilia from Re:Zero − Starting Life in Another World, meant to channel a peaceful colorscheme. GMK Frost Witch 2 is a condensed re-run of the original, produced by HIBI on GMK's premium double-shot injection-molding process.

SAAG65 Keyboard

Moon KBD

Desk

A 65% custom mechanical keyboard kit using a gasket o-ring (gummy worm) mounting system. CNC-machined 6063-T6 aluminum case with glossy PVD-plated brass weight, 6° typing angle, and USB-C via ai03 daughterboard. Programmable with QMK and VIA. Ships with three o-rings of varying hardness (30A, 50A, 70A) for a tunable typing feel.

Carpio 2.0

DeltaHub

Desk

Patented ergonomic wrist rest designed with medical experts to reduce the risk of strain injuries. Unlike conventional wrist rests, Carpio glides with the hand on PTFE teflon feet (the same material NASA uses for space suits), while silicone pads balance comfort and stability. Available in right- and left-handed versions.

Spillo Shoehorn

Leonardo Rossano

Home

Sculptural aluminum shoehorn designed by architect Leonardo Rossano. A quiet reinterpretation of an everyday object — its subtle curving silhouette evokes the flower of a calla lily, with a stable free-standing base. Functional design elevated into homeware.

Rope Split Ring

Craighill

Accessories

A reinvented split ring keychain that won't chip your fingernails. An extended tab makes the ring easy to open; the woven rope loop gives it a grabbable, twirlable handle. Made from crimped spring steel with a matte coating. Available in Slate Gray, Cornflower Blue, Monarch Orange, and Black & White ($38).

Lemtosh

MOSCOT

Accessories

The iconic square-rounded silhouette from MOSCOT's five-generation New York heritage eyewear house. Handcrafted from Italian acetate with the signature keyhole bridge, diamond rivets, and 7-barrel hinges. Available in 32 colorways and four sizes. Worn by Johnny Depp, King Charles III, and generations of intellectuals and artistes.

DSC-TX1 Cybershot

Sony

Photography

Sony's 2009 ultra-compact point-and-shoot — among the first to use the Exmor R back-illuminated CMOS sensor with twice the low-light sensitivity of conventional sensors. 10MP, 4x Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar zoom (35–140mm equiv), 3-inch touch LCD, and a slim 16mm body. The TX1 has become a cult Y2K digicam for its compact design and distinctive image character.

SMW006 Metronome

Seiko

Watches

Seiko's Japan-domestic-only metronome watch for musicians. A minimalist 36.5mm stainless steel case with white dial and black calf leather strap — the minute hand doubles as a metronome indicator, oscillating between 40–304 BPM in 41 steps. Reference tone function plays six pitches (A and B♭ at 440/442/443 Hz). Quartz movement powered by a CR2016, ~$200 in Japan.

Alter Ego

TAG Heuer

Watches

TAG Heuer's Alter Ego line, introduced in the 2001 catalog — a refined quartz dress watch originally designed as a women's silhouette, though its 29mm proportions suit smaller wrists across genders. Sapphire crystal, stainless steel case and bracelet with butterfly clasp, 100m water resistance. A quietly elegant option that's since been discontinued.

218 Slim Lighter

Zippo

Accessories

Zippo's classic Slim model in a high-polish brass finish (model 218). Windproof, refillable, and built with Zippo's signature click-shut hinged lid. Slimmer and lower-profile than the standard Zippo — fits flush in pockets. Backed by Zippo's lifetime guarantee: 'It works, or we fix it free.'

Quality over quantity.
