What countries are in your pocket today?
on: May 27, 2017, 11:12:45 AM
Hey folks, just looking at my EDC selection for the day and realized that each of the four tools I'm carrying all hail from different lands, and I thought that was cool... and kind representative of this melting pot we call MTO.

Today I'm carrying products from:
China (I think)
Switzerland (of course)
USA (this Micra is pretty cool)
France (Flic your Bic)

*empties pockets*

Okay, what have we got?

Notebook holder - USA (Checked the tag. Yup)
Notebook - Doesn't say? Could be Australia, could be China? Checked their website, nothing there either.
Pen - Indonesia
Another Pen - USA
Another Pen - Germany
Knife- USA
Swiss Army Knife - :P
Wallet - (took a while to find the label) India (USA Brand)


My Multi isn't technically in my pocket, but it would be USA as well.

Seems like I'm putting a fair bit into keeping the US economy going...


(My sheepskin jacket that I'm wearing is from the UK, does that count?)

Oh, and my coin purse is handmade in Australia
....Not sure where my car keys were made, as such, but the car they go in is Japanese :D

Cell phone: South Korea. Knife: Switzerland. Pencil: Germany. Notebook: Varies, I think the notebook cover today is from Germany. Flashlight: USA/China. Key holder: Australia? (Orbitkey) Wrissmurfch: Japan/China. So, more varied than I expected, though mostly usual suspects.
