in the late 90's I lost a two pen pouch. a few days later, I remember leaving it in a stationery store. Of course, when I went back, no one had seen it. It had a Parker sonnet and .... a Shaeffer Legacy with STUB nib.

I've been chasing the dragon for 30 years. I'm about to liquidate my collection down to the 6 or 7 I could never bear to part with. If I had to choose one pen to rule them all, it would have to be a current production pen (otherwise I won't want to take it out of the house). and something so wonderful yet rugged that I would never have to worry about damage.

It could get really expensive if you use quality parts. Aliexpress has a lot of cheap parts. If you go for a genuine Seiko dial could easily go for 100 usd just the dial. Quality parts from Namoki mods, Watch-Modz, Watch&Style, Cristal Times, etc. Will build a high quality build.

Finally a man that can take something as simple as a pen and make something truly exciting and meaningful out of it! I’ve collected and enjoyed pens (and pencils) since I was a young kid and started writing and using with the Bic Crystal and now have several hundred pens including the Mont Blanque you mentioned. My grandparents came from Poland and brought Polish fountain pens with them but alas as time went on and they passed away the pens mysteriously disappeared……would have loved to have been able to have these pens today! Really enjoy your video and will be looking for some of the pens you mentioned! Do kids today appreciate the beauty of a fine writing instrument; do kids today even know how to write……unfortunately I know some who don’t 😮! Again, many thanks for sharing your thoughts on something I thought no one else but me would appreciate or give a hoot about 😊! Be safe!

I carried the Midnight Manager for many years but have switched to the Swisscard Nailcare plus the Bantam Alox. For air travel I can just leave the Bantam at home or put it in my checked luggage. I always felt the blade on the small Victorinoxes was a bit too small and the size of the Bantam is perfect. The Swisscard includes a magnifying glass which I find very useful, a pin, the standalone scissors which I find easier to use and a glass nail file which does a better job than the metal one. I never use the Victorinox toothpick as a toothpick but find it useful for other things, pushing in small buttons, prying out small parts, etc. If you did want to use it as a toothpick you could carry some small alcohol wipes with you and clean it before putting it away.

The Uniball Jetstream RT in 0.7 mm is the best overall/general purpose pen in my opinion. Writes very smoothly with dark, crisp lines. The ink bonds with the paper to prevent smudging and bleaching/fraud. I prefer writing with the Jetstream over my S.T. Dupont and Montblanc, each of which cost me hundreds of dollars. I'm looking for a way to install the Jetstream refill in my high-end pens - it's that good.

I'm looking for that Montblanc Meisterstück Le Petit Prince but it is not listed on the Montblanc website. eBay doesn't show them very well. Can you please measure the total length of it and let me know so I can approximate that size from their store? I had a Mozart but the clip broke and Montblanc would not cover it and also wanted to charge me almost $40.00 in shipping back to me so I let them keep it. Terrible company here in the USA. Taken over by incompetence like most other companies in the USA today. I'd like something slightly smaller than my current Le Grand Rollerball. That pen size looks perfect. Thanks!

Great video Marcus! Subscribed! Having recently had a kid it's been much harder to travel so minimally, but I've found a sling like yours and then a 10L backpack for the kiddos stuff fits nicely under the seats, and they always let the 10L slide as a purse. Fit's my full size iPad perfectly as well. Also, try an altoids tin for your first aid kit. I have them stashed all over, and always have a couple in our luggage when we travel. Cheers!

as a gen z myself, in the same spot as you are btw, born in the 1998 i'm basically between the millenials and the gen z i managed to see a lot of old tech as a child, but for a really short amount of time, cassettes are the one i experienced the less, VHS stuck much more because all my cartoons were there, but cd players were on their best moments, mp3 were still not a thing for a long time unless you were really wealthy, so ipod were a thing, but i aswell even if younger got back using old tech. outside of my passion of photography, so full of REALLY old cameras, pre war ones and all, i went and took an old Ipod Mini from 2005 and made that my own music player, sure it's not the same as listening to cd or cassettes cause it's still more modern (i do actually have a ton of music tapes now btw because i fell in the rabbit hole of that format of music) i still have to rip the CDs and own the music myself, prepare playlists if i wanna use them or listen to the albums, and even if it's completely digital, having a dedicated music device in general has been incredibly different than just putting up spotify, i unsubscribed from it, luckly both me and my family we all kept all the CDs we used to listen so i have a TON of music to get back to. plus i'm a lot into modding, and you have no idea how much stuff you can do with old tech, my ipod mini i upgraded the memory from just 4 gb to 256 GB. that's the only thing i did, so i can keep better quality files on it

I like the idea of a minimalist sling bag and all the tiny goodies. I assume you travel with a camera (or two). Are you checking those in your luggage? Always using overhead storage for a roll-on? If you’re packing camera gear in a roll-on and the bins are full and they gate-check you or you have to check baggage are you trusting camera gear to the baggage compartment? Yikes. That’s a big reason I need a larger backpack as carry-on, I want camera gear with me and possibly a sweater. That sling is cool but too tiny.

Personally, I think if they shrink the P4 or P2, they’d be on to something that could compete with the SOG Powerpint. I love the Powerpint, I use it way more than I ever did my Juice models and I LOVE my Juice’s. I just think the P4 and P2, with the magnets and ease of opening would be very nice in Juice or Powerpint size. Shrinking the Wave would interesting, but I think the P4/P2 platform lends itself to shrinkage just a little bit better. Great video.

The P4 and P2 are really high quality for sure (pity Leatherman is discontinuing them). I just wonder if they did shrink them down, how much would they have to charge to make a profit. I bet they couldn’t compete with the Powerpint in price.

@@MarcusCreates kind of. Worked in a prestige jewellers for many years. We had an old watchmaker in the shop. He was ridiculously clever. He escaped Yugoslavia during WW2 and learned watchmaking when he came to the UK. I would often be searching around on the floor for something so tiny… the old dustpan and brush and a strong magnet was a life saver lol. Titanium tweezers too. He had a lathe so small he could hand make parts- like the stems for the crown to fit onto. Bergeon watch tools were his favourite. I learned so much from him, not how to hand make parts though unfortunately 😂😂 This is a great video, and a really cool idea. I used to have a Rolex like yours too.

I had an Xbox 360 with a stack of immaculate games too that I sold, but i got my Switch out of that deal so I won't cry too much about that one. But man....I was stupid to give those game systems away! On the flipside of that, it was very hard for me to get gaming systems growing up. I always always always wanted a Gameboy Color and was never able to get one. As an adult I offed to trade my Dad something if he'd buy me my dream Gameboy and he did! I don't play it much, but I have a pristine slime green Game Boy color, and it's one of the last things my father gave me so it's doubly special. And then I scored this really cool light for it that looks like monster slime so it's even cooler!
