Forged in Br(ass)

Rules: take a Craighill product photo and include a supplementary narrative, in letter format. The letter is to be a pseudo-account of the product personified and it’s ordeal away from home.

Craighill Keychain, everyday carry, with leather hardware and Gerber multitool.

It’s been a good couple years since I’ve found this warm home; this may be due to the posterior situation I find myself in.

These have been both the darkest and lightest days for me. I have shed my layer of brashness but yet I find myself wedged between hard denim and sofa cushions. An image I am sure is hard to fathom but rest assured, you have fashioned me for such interesting times.

I have held strong, hanging onto the relationships made along the way. Gatekeepers, a sharp one named SOG, a multifaceted fellow named Gerber; all swinging on the pendulum of life.

I am called an Everyday Carry but yet I feel without me, everyday could not be carried.

Warm regards,
Wilson K.
