I haven’t done a daily carry post for awhile so I thought I’d give you all a peek into my bag, its a Letter Writers Alliance member pencil case, in case you were curious. I have a few of my favorite pins stuck to it as well. Paper geek pride!
I’ll go from left to right:
- Elmer’s Glue Stick
- Kaweco Sport Guilloch EF Fountain Pen
- Bone Folder for making perfect folds in paper
- Clinique Black Honey lipgloss (a girl must be prepared)
- Ohto Ceramic Pen Cutter
- TWSBI Mini EF Fountain Pen
- Marvy Le Pen in Teal Blue
- Poppin Ballpoint Pen
- Palomino Blackwing 602
- Marvy LePen in Olive Green
- Pilot Hi-Tec C Coleto Me Multi-Pen
- Pilot Prera M Fountain Pen
- Retro 51 Tornado Rollerball
- UniBall Signo Broad in Opaque White
The various and sundry bits at the bottom from the left:
- Vintage letter opener
- Lefty Pencil Sharpener
- Pocket Swiss Army Knife
- Wireless USB controller for my Wacom tablet
- a couple spare SD cards
- a USB flash drive (8GB)
- my name chop I got in Stanley Market in Hong Kong
Its probably way more than I need but I like to be prepared and have options. I don’t have my own office at work so I tote a lot more with me each day than most people. How many tools do you carry with you each day?
Thanks for sharing! I feel better knowing I’m not the only one walking around with this many items in my pencil case.
Nice load out. I’m more of a briefcase home to office to office kind of worker but here is the pocketables that constantly invade my space:
Kum PenCut scissors
Cruzer Flash drive
Zebralight SC51 Flashlight
10 ft duct tape wrapped around an old credit card (a boy must be prepared)
Mini Sharpie
Zebra 701 Pocket Pen
Mini USB SD Card reader
Nite Ize Bug Lite (currently MIA, crawled away)
Penvelope 6 Case with my favorite Fountain Pens
Bexley Corona
Nakaya Long
Pelikan M1000
TWSBI 540
TWSBI 700
Thanks for the post
I love EDC posts! The stuff in people’s pockets and handbags is a fascinating little look into their personality and their circumstances.
I rotate through all my fun pens over the course of a couple of weeks, but I usually only carry one or two in my pocket each day. Today, it’s a Visconti Van Gogh Room in Arles (a gift from my brother) and a Noodler’s Flex, both loaded with Private Reserve Orange Crush.
All the rest of my kit:
* Kershaw Leek
* Streamlight Microstream
* P-51 Can opener
* Tweezers
* Victorinox Swiss Army Knife (in magnificent Banana Yellow)
* Kahr Arms CW9
* Field Notes (original recipe, 5mm grid)
* HTC Thunderbolt
I just ordered a banana yellow mini Swiss army knife! Can’t wait to receive it!
The yellow body definitely makes it just about impossible to lose.
I also love edc posts:) Also love that your lip gloss is longer than the kaweco pen. I hadn’t realized the pens were so small. 🙂
Outside of the usual laptop and moleskin notebook of the week, my briefcase consists of the following items (1) Conklin fountain pen (2) Bexley fountain pen (3) Lamy fountain pen (4) Sharpie yellow highlighter (5) purple ear buds (6) Post-It tabs (7) mini ipad charger (8) two cell phones – one for work; one for personal. No gum, mints this time around. Bummer.

I’m an EDC nut myself. People look at my tools strangely…until they need to borrow something. 🙂 I like that you carry a bone folder. That is something that I’ve been thinking of picking up myself. A lightweight item and it could be useful.
