What’s the most useful item that you carry?
I like to think of myself as a bit of a Boy Scout. Be Prepared. The things I carry, like multiple different style knives, flashlight, battery packs/portable chargers, USB drive, a multi-tool, and even a bottle opener fall into that category. In theory, given I’m an officer worker, live in a city, and drive to and from work, the most useful item I carry would be my iPhone. It certainly gets the most use of anything I carry. It keeps me connected, productive, and entertained. But after that, I pocket carry a Kershaw Ken Onion Chive which get’s a lot of use. Whether its opening a new delivery package, cutting a loose thread, or getting into one of those irritating clamshell packages, its one of the items that I use almost daily.
What’s your most treasured item?
This one is tough. It’s probably not something I daily carry. I don’t have a pocket knife that I got from my grandfather or anything like that. My main hobbies are photography, home theater, and fountain pens. Within those categories, I would say my GoldenEar Triton One speakers and Visconti Homo Sapiens Dark Ages are two of my prize possessions. But, I tend to be more utilitarian and unattached to things I own. I frequently seek better ways to do things or more convenient, practical, or comfortable ways to carry my stuff. Examples would be the Bellroy wallet which is extremely thin for what it holds, and the Orbit Key, which I find to be an immensely more practical and useful way to carry keys and a bottle opener than a key ring.
Which item do you use more often than you thought you would?
This might gross some people out but you’ll notice that I carry a pair of fold-flat Swiss Army fingernail clippers with me. That’s because I almost never trim my nails at home. I almost always trim them at my desk at work, usually when I’m on long conference calls. In my defense, I’m extremely diligent about collecting the clippings and throwing them in my trash can. But regardless, I use the clippers a lot.
