Things You Buy Once And Have Forever
What kind of things, if bought thoughtfully and is quality-made, can you purchase once and have your entire lifetime?
For example, I'm in the midst of buying a series of Saddleback Leather Co.'s bags and luggage. I think they will last longer than me.
Any thoughts?

Sure we do. We just don't complain about having to register and pay for the licenses. ;)

Diamonds. Duh.
Thinking about the things in my apartment that are older than I am: Depending on how often you wear it, classically-styled, well-made formal wear. Jewelry generally. Flatware, especially silverware. High-quality furniture. Certain books. Fine china. Winter clothes. Photographs.
In addition to all these, at my parents' house, things older than or about as old as they are: Original artwork (most wasn't bought, though; ancestors created it). My grandparents' marriage license. (I guess they didn't buy that. How about their marriage license as a buy-once item?)

Everything.
Nothing.
Just depends on how well you take care of your stuff.

1. Razor. Either double-edge safety or straight.
2. Watch. Pocket or wrist. Mechanical or quartz.
3. Fountain pen. From a good manufacturer.
4. At least one good suit.

Good knives. Just bought a MercWorx Sniper Chili in S30V steel. I have no doubts that it will outlive me.

My parents had several wedding gifts begin to fall apart at right about their 25th wedding anniversary. Their high-quality, high-carbon knives were among them.

Are you talking kitchen knives? I'm more discussing knives with a more...um...utilitarian/sinister purpose.

Kitchen knives, and it was just the constantly-used paring knife.

My Experience with PIT Training
So I just got back from PIT training this past weekend.Wow.Some really beautiful work done with some wonderful men. It amazes me how I can step into these groups of men and have different standards, viewpoints, and stories and love them like brothers. I truly feel blessed to have these challenging and growing experiences.I had been going to an i group for a while now and so these processes weren't exactly new but discussing them and understanding them on an intellectual level was really…See More

Skeleton watches are my absolute favorites. They're more difficult to read, but so beautiful.
Nice choice."
