I've just been lurking this week. On Tuesday I had surgery on my right shoulder for a damaged rotator cuff. My arm is in a sling for six weeks, and it's made the simplest tasks difficult. But I thought I'd muddle through with some new arrivals...
An early Huntsman with the nickel silver emblem, aluminum tweezers, 5-turn corkscrew, small clip-point blade, and the scarce long nail file.

Traveler’s Co. Classic SD, including the matching TF leather slip and fob. The Traveler’s Company (TRC) – who produce notebooks and related stationery products – was conceived by Atsuhiko Iijima in a 2015 internal design competition at the Midori paper company in Japan. Their notebooks were introduced in 2006 and in 2014 they were separated into an independent, stand-alone brand under the umbrella of Designphil, Midori’s parent company (Midori, founded in 1950, changed the company name in 2007 to Designphil, at which point Midori became a brand). The Traveler’s Factory is TRC’s Japanese brick-and-mortar and online storefronts, which began operations in 2011.
