\"flyTi Arto EDC Pen<\/b><\/p>\n

Big Idea Design\u2019s Ti Arto EDC Pen is the best idea in pens to come along in quite a while. Sure, it\u2019s machined from solid titanium\u2014which means you\u2019ll be passing it on to your heirs\u2014but that\u2019s not the best part. The Ti Arto EDC accepts over 880 refills\u2014from the high-end refills made for the likes of Mont Blanc and Waterman to the ubiquitous Japanese refills found in cheapo plastic click pens (and most refills in between). Do you like the way your Pilot G2 writes but wish it would complement your Charles Tyrwhitt shirt? Simply insert the G2 refill into your Ti Arto. Refills insert from the back. A twisting action activates four clasps that hold the point in place without slippage or wiggle. The only refills we haven\u2019t gotten to work are those that we can\u2019t remove from their disposable plastic bodies. The back of the pen adjusts in length to accommodate the length of the refill. Threading at the back of the barrel allows you to post the screw-on cap securely for writing. The pocket clip is made from grade-4 titanium for proper tension. Available in three finishes: machined raw, stonewashed, and midnight black. Lifetime guarantee.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"flyZilker Stitched Gaucho Belt<\/b><\/p>\n

Zilker is an Austin, Texas company that\u2019s bringing high-quality stitched Argentinian gaucho belts to the US. We\u2019ve been wearing the \u201cCowboy\u201d belt for several months now, and it has earned a strong spot in our belt rotation. It\u2019s made of quality materials with solid workmanship. The leather has worn in nicely, and the stitched portion of the belt has held together without any fraying. It looks great with slacks or jeans.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"flyJake Hoback OneSam Knife<\/b><\/p>\n

Jake Hoback is known for custom blades, but they\u2019re also selling some great manufactured knives these days. We\u2019ve tested the OneSam Titanium with DLC Black Stonewall Finish for the past six months or so, and it\u2019s now almost always in our pocket. The blade stays sharp, the opening and closing mechanism is smooth and flawless, and the handle material feels great in our hand. The OneSam flips open easily, in one motion, and we always prefer a knife with a belt clip. It\u2019s a bit pricey for a knife made overseas, but we\u2019ve found the quality to be exceptional.<\/span><\/p>\n
