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.
Oo I’m a pen guy and haven’t seen that pen before. Which one is that and what refill does it take?
It’s BigIdeaDesign’s Ti Mini Pen. It takes a D1 refill. I really like the size of the pen but I really dislike how quickly D1 runs out of ink. Since it’s more of an I-need-something-to-write-with-right-now-and-there-is-nothing-else-around pen it works out okay.
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.
Yeah I enjoy them with all my pens (rotring 600, twsbi, and therightchoicepencompany)
Great aesthetics! What tool is that attached to the orbitkey?
Thanks! That is BigIdeaDesign’s Titanium Pocket Tool v1. I like that I always have a way to cut things.
Where did u get that octagonal key ring?
It’s a HANDGREY KNOX key ring.
Dam thats expensive but super cool. Thanks for the info.
I was lucky enough to Kickstart it so it was slightly less expensive. I’ve already had for over six years and doubt I’ll ever replace it so, not too bad for my tastes.
No prob!
