ORSM – Brunton Axis Pocket Transit

Wednesday, August 10th, 2016

I don’t know which influenced me more, my time in Scouting or my time in the military, but I love compasses, so whenever I see a new one, I want to check it out. This is Brunton’s Axis Pocket Transit.

First off, it’s a transit, so this isn’t the orineteering compass you keep in your daypack. Created by a geologist, the Axis, it requires only one measurement configuration for strike & dip, trend & plunge, bearing & vertical angle, increasing efficiency and accuracy of measurements. Additionally, Compass North is parallel to the main hinge axis, making the Axis the only transit able to measure strike and dip concurrently, through contact or sighting methods.

Features:
-Dimensions (Closed): 3.92″ X 2.78″ X 1.18″
-Weight: 12.5 oz
-Compass Bearing Accuracy: ±1/2 WITH 1° graduations
-Inclinometer Accuracy: ±1/2 WITH 1° graduations
-Dip Angle Accuracy: ±1 WITH 2° graduations
-Plunge Angle Accuracy: ±1/2 WITH 1° graduations
-Azimuth Graduated Circle: Model F-5012
-Quadrant Graduated Circle: Model F-5011
-Magnetism: NdFeB rare earth magnet on sapphire jewel suspension; high visibility North and South markings; induction damping for quick stabilization.
-Adjustable needle locking mechanism

Bawidamann Blades  – Nuckeye Titanium EDC Bottle Opener

Wednesday, February 24th, 2016

This is a Ben Bawidamnn custom project that he finally made time for. It’s called the NUCK-EYE; a key chain/beer bottle opener with a little extra punch to it. Since they are Ohio boys, they thought that old number 17 would make a great addition to your nights out on the town. Someone’s point of view not lining up with your mid-western values? Use this handy tool to reset the conversation, then have a beer.

 

Each one is hand finished 6al4v Titanium in either quarter inch or half inch stock thickness, and every one is unique in color and finish.
