NKD Spyderco Charisma

First impression: light weight, super thin blade, horrible grind out of factory.

I think it might replace the Parallel here and there.

I mainly cut food when on the way.

Thrift find

I just couldn’t resist.

I went to the thrift store today, and I saw this wonderful box. I was pretty sure it would be empty.

Once I opened it, I was surprised to find almost brand new pencils. 13 of them!

I wonder if I’ll ever use them?

iPhone 12 Pro Max -> iPhone 17 ... Now or wait?

I have been using an iPhone 12 Pro Max since its release.

Before that I was on a 24 month refresh cycle.

Now I am ready for a new Phone. I just replaced the battery on the 12 Pro Max to hand it down to the kids.

I will certainly not go with a Pro next, as I am tight with money these days. I'll miss the 3rd camera, but it's just not worth the price hike for me. I would have probably gotten a pro if it was titanium... Aluminum feels like butter. Drop once, big dent.

I plan to keep the new phone for at least 4 years.

I am pretty certain that the iPhone 18 will be significantly more expensive, so I think I'll get the 17, no matter when I'll get it.

After prices of iPhones increased by ~10% in Japan, I wonder:

  1. Should I get the 17 right now, as prices might increase?
  2. Should I wait for the release of the 18 and get the 17 at a potential discount from a reseller, as it used to be in the past...

Couldn’t resist the sale!

I’ve always wanted a Böker Bad Guy, just for its ridiculousness and sheer size. But I couldn’t justify the 120 €, given that I am more of a Vosteed Parallel kind of person.

So I had to jump on the 69,95 € sale!
