My Benchmade pocket knife. Because even if I do damage it they will fix it lol.

I'm not huge on brand loyalty but they have always taken care of me and my buddies whenever anything goes wrong with one of their knives. I will always recommend them for anyone willing to spend a bit more on a very solid knife with a great warranty.

Edit. Spelling

My guitar.

Cutlery from William Sonoma. Partner said she loved my kitchen for cooking because I had the best stuff. Now it’s our stuff.

My headphones: AKG Q701. I've been using them for well over a decade now and have repaired them a few times. They're easily repairable and nothing compares to the sound quality unless you shell out $500+.

My Rotring 600 mechanical pencil, my Canon 2000 film camera, and my TI-36x Pro calculator.

• When it come to writing, I have never used a smoother implement, nor one that is constructed of such robust materials. For a long time I used a "nicer" mechanical pencil from Tūl, but does not compare to the Rotring.
• My Canon film camera is old and not a particularly fancy model, but it takes excellent photos and perfectly exemplifies the authentic emotion of film photos. I use it when I go on adventures with my friends, and the photos are always fun and genuine.
• I have tried a dozen different calculator apps, and none of them are as efficient to use as a physical calculator. It does what I need to without the feature cramming that calculator apps suffer from.

My Dutch oven. It cost a fair bit, but with a modicum of care it’ll last well my past lifetime.

Pretty much all of my music stuff (instruments, amps, pedals). I could maybe see myself selling some, or trading or whatever. But at least the physical instruments should last a long forever....unless some catastrophic event damages them.

My Seiko 5 mechanical wristwatch, my traditional Vietnamese kitchen knife, my cast iron skillet, and the parts I always migrate over, each time I replace my main bicycle (Deore XTR pedals, Brooks saddle, Tubus rack, SKS fenders, Busch&Müller lights)

Sadly nothing yet, maybe just a couple of T-shirts... Mainly because I had to move/relocate every 1-2 years for my entire adult life until now & had to sell/give/throw away anything I couldn't bring with me every time I move

I got a boker plus antigrav (zirconium knife, great box openers) for Christmas and I could never get one on my own dime. I plan on keeping it forever and never using disposable box openers ever again.

Inbefore:

Toaster

My coffee machine and associated presses grinders and the like. My cast iron pan, and my Dutch oven

My Brain...

(if I lose it, i'd be dead, so it's "rest of my life" 🫠)

my house, my wool poncho, my kitchen knives, my digital music library

My Black & Decker Matrix drill. I have 2 other attachments for it and I could see myself getting as many as 8 of them. I'm sure they're sub-par compared to their standalone counterparts but I'm not a hobbyist so I'd much rather have versatility and not have to make room for a chest full of tools.

Cookware - cast iron skillets, enamelled cast. iron Dutch ovens, stainless steel saucepans.

Chef knives.

Leather wallet, briefcase, overnight bag and a couple of belts all made by Saddleback Leather - their tagline is "They'll fight over it when you're dead".

Gaming PC, belt, clothes, cookware
