EDC: Upgrades (lemmy.world)
submitted 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) by fujiwood@lemmy.world to c/edc@sopuli.xyz

My Orbitkey was beginning to fray since I've had it for over five years. I made a replacement for the old canvas from 5 oz veg-tan leather. I've had my old wallet for a year and half. It was the first thing I ever made and I've never been completely happy with it. It worked well enough but there were small details that always bothered me. This week I made a new wallet from ~4 oz veg-tan leather and gave it some color. I was originally aiming for a sage green but I still need more practice dyeing which means it's now a dark green. I decided to wet form my pen into the front pocket of the wallet so it's less likely to fall out. I'm very pleased.

Interesting. Yeah, after buying parker style pens and refills, I don't think I will get any other size. I like that there are great refills like the schmidt easyflow 9000 and sxr 600 out there for it.

I read about those refills a lot. Might pick some up for my other pen after I use up all my Ohto Flash Dry refills.
