What do you all use to carry cards, cash and for signing your life away? I am a big Fisher pen fan (for all the obvious reasons) and use a century cross silver for special occasions or for documents that might give me a nose bleed. For family reasons I have always used Golden Head wallets which last me years. I don’t buy anything too expensive…prefer to put disposable cash into watches..... How about you?

 

I prefer vintage and Swiss or American for my watches and cheap (ish) modern Chinese fountain pens for my everyday writing tools. I'd show pictures, but they're all at my office. My particular favorites are the Wing Sung 698 and 601a

 

I looked them up - cool choice. I took the cowards way out a while back and I am 99% ballpoint now.

 

I have a Mulberry wallet. What a pile of crap. It cost around 250 usd but I have had wallets in the past that cost 10% of this and looked better after the same time frame. For pens I use a Mount Blanc vintage fountain pen or what ever happens to be close at hand.

 

Looks like Mulberry turned out more like Lord Melbury….;o) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Touch_of_Class_(Fawlty_Towers)

 

Have used a Bellroy for a few years as great wallets and good ethical business model

+1 for Bellroy. Sturdy and great design. It’s amazing ho much you can fit in them. All I’ve uesd the last few years is one of these, which fits several cards and about $1-200 cash easily.

I can't use ballpoints anymore. If I'm in the field I'll use roller balls.

This is the last wallet I will buy. I’ve got an older version.

 

Since I live in a mostly cashless city, I use the Secrid wallet. Designed in Nederland and won the red dot design award. I bought it many, many years ago from Nederland (through la couronne de compte) but they can be bought anywhere these days. Built in RFID protection and a unique opening mech that allows the last card to use RFID. Great for daily transit commutes.






As for pens, I've got many, but find I use my Stipula Etruria Alter Ego the most. Bought at a steep discount at Amazon when Stipula updated the model from sterling silver hardware to gold. PIC borrowed from Goulet Pens.

 

The watch. 39th anniversary gift from my wife in 2008.
The wallet. Received this from a dealer rep.
The pen. I received this from my father-in-law before I really knew much about speedmaster.



And my other pens.

 

I have been using an Omega leather wallet I picked up at a boutique a couple of years ago. I'm quite happy with the quality and durability as it's held up very well and still looks great through daily use.

 

Here's my wallet:

Quite an amazing story behind it (the leather spent nearly 200 years at the bottom of the ocean):

I use a bellroy sleeve note, slate grey. Not too expensive and feels slim to hold.

I don't use pens at all, maybe a red leaf.

 

I use a Gucci cardholder, wallets are too chunky for me so I carry as few cards as possible. For a pen i use a Classic Cross in 10k gold, I am always on the go so i wont care very much if it happens to get lost of stolen.

 

Nice collection and loving the phone. Is that a redial :0)

 

I got a Key Smart but have never made time to set it up. How has it worked out for you?

 

It reminds me of the Swedish tennis player buying deodorant in New York. ''Which type sir...aerosol or ball''.... ''Vell mostly I vant it vor Mi Armpits''...
Being serious I do have an addiction to Uni-ball pens but I always loose them before the ink runs out.

 

I am very pleased with this Utili-Key. Its on my key ring in the picture above. This has saved the day or me a few times, plus I can always open a beer and airport security never picks it up. The photon ight is also very handy in an emergency.

 

Great going on 3 or 4 years now. Smaller, quieter, easier to pick the correct key. Make sure you use the spacers/ washers and test fit it so they keys don’t lock up with the other axel ie get slightly bent and hard stuck. Also put your commonly used keys opposite the key ring.

Love mine.
