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)
