About This Everyday Carry

Hacker wannabe in Japan

I usually work at a desk and commute between home and work, so I don’t take many things with me, but when I go out, I carry a combination of tools similar to this set. This time I’ve tried to get a set of tools made in Japan. Some explanations:

I didn’t really like the G-SHOCK, but this recently acquired Basel special version is nice, with a color that looks like brass. I carry a small memopad with me, but I think it’s better to have a larger notebook, about A5 size. MUCU is unusual in that it has a leather cover, and when you’re done using it, they replace the paper for you.

The Mechasea ballpoint pen has an interesting mechanism for ejecting the ink cartridge and a clip. It can use Fisher Space Pen ink refills.

In Japan, where I live, there are restrictions on taking large knives out of the house. So I don’t usually take the Higonokami knife out, but the Eigertool scissors come in handy, with eight functions.

These days, most flashlights are USB-C rechargeable, but I personally think that dry cell batteries are more reliable for lights. The Gentos flashlights are durable and won’t break even if you drop them.
