Did I really need a new knife? Not really. Has it made my daily openings of boxes and packages more fun? Definitely. I picked up this Böker Keycom designed by Chad Los Banos in my favorite colorway last week, and it arrived in time for me to efficiently unpack our Flat Head, Sling & Stones and Rin Tanaka shipments today.

It’s a tiny knife – when closed, it measures just over 2″. It’s small enough to carry on your keychain, but I’ve opted to remove the ring and just clip it inside my coin pocket.

I can definitely see the value in investing in a higher-end knife somewhere down the line, but this little guy is sharp and gets the job done. It retails for just $27.50, but if you’re resourceful it can be found for less than $20.

This Saturday, Lily and I spent a few hours in the sweltering heat at the Brooklyn Flea in Fort Greene. We had fun perusing vintage garments and antique furniture, but spent most of our money on food and beverages.

My purchases:

Fresh JP’s on my feet for the springtime. Thanks Johan.

Last week, we released a special run of collaborative belts designed in conjunction with our good friends at Tanner Goods. The antique buckles we used were bought from an Army/Navy store near our office; above are a few others I found while sifting through their stash.
