10 things I can't live without. It's clearly more than ten but that's okay I think. No offense taken, right? Right. Hello everyone today we are looking at some cool things that I have. Do I love them? Do I use them? Yes. Take a gander at my Rolex Explorer 114270, my Leica M4-P, my Timex Flix, my Opinel, my 5 year journal, my messy apartment...etc.
Can I interest you in a hot bowl of following ME and The Snail in other places??

The Iron Snail is a men’s fashion vlog starring a young man named Michael and featuring a snail no bigger than a quarter. The two are set on taking over the world of fashion by creating a clothing line to end all clothing lines. Until then, we’re here to tell you EVERYTHING you need to know about the best clothing out there, from the highest quality raw denim jeans to the warmest jacket to the sturdiest boots…the Iron Snail has got you covered. (written by Taylor, though Michael is sometimes known to talk about himself in the third person… xoxo)
what the hell is a myoozayuhm?
i knew this would come but i never knew it’d come so fast

@@TheIronSnailis there a list of Victoria and Alberta Best designed items in history, you got me curious and upon googling I can't find it.
hello everyone, don’t worry my apartment is clean now
That James brand knife is real nice but I understand NYC has strict knife laws. You might want to check on those if you haven't already.
I’m glad its clean
How’s the poison ivy?
Good job on the clean up! Now you can go outside😂
Spoiler alert: He can live without all of these things.
Michael, coming from an enthusiastic knife guy: PLEASE DO NOT BUY THE HELLGAP!! The James Brand makes very mediocre-at-best products in general, but the Hellgap is especially bad. They make sure good looking stuff, but that's about it :)
An esee instead maybe.
@@kasper6873 I think for the aesthetics and functionality that he's looking for, something like Daily Customs or a Chris Reeve Backpacker
spyderco shaman is a pretty stellar one
@@Get_Splooshed it is for sure, I just don't think a Shaman is super Michael Kristy style
Go for the Bradford Guardian 3! An amazing knife, small enough to Cary around everywhere and cuts apples like you wouldn’t even believe
Congratulations on the 5 years with Taylor! 🎉
stay away from James brand. Stick with benchmade. Microtech is great too. Protech, even boker makes some fun bargain stuff
This sort of video is why I’m subbed to you. That’s a great idea for a journal, I will have to use that! Glad to see the two of uses overcoming the distance!
Dude 5 years is great but quit playing around and put a ring on her finger!
whats the wool jacket your wearing? :)
First, congratulations on 5 years with Taylor! Second, or maybe third, I am ordering that fork knife and spoon set, that's amazing, The number I didn't pick last time, I was just looking at that bag company, Bleu de Chauffe, put it off as I have a lot of bags, but now, somehow, I'm on their site again.
Dude, Stirling is the best! I live about an hour from their brick and mortar location! You can go and check out their whole production and the owners are soo nice. Never thought I’d see a local Arkansas company on the snail! Totally cool and love your work man!!
love the jacket in the video; if you don't mind sharing, what is the brand and name of the jacket, and where could i get one?
Happy 5 years. The 5 year diary is such a cool idea. Cheers
dude… Buck 110, the knife that will outlive your kids kids kids kids…
That is so cool, that you work in the watch industry! And I say this, because I am totally blind I have no vision whatsoever. I have been blind for the last seven years and I always enjoyed wearing a nice watch but now my issue is they do have watches for the blind, but They are a very, very poor quality. It would be nice if one of the manufactures would try to solve this issue it should be waterproof. It should have a quality leather band and it must talk of course. They do make the talking watch is an analog and digital, so this would be interesting if you could try to tackle this issue. Thank you once again.
The Timex Iron Man would be a perfect platform. Also, the G-Shock would be a great platform. Both of them have analog and digital platforms. That would be perfect. This would be a great starting point.
Congrats to 5 years! Looking forward to the release of the jacket. You’re vibe always brings joy to my day!
Oh man we have to talk about watches…
Please don’t say museum anymore
I've got a Bleu de Chauffe canvas tote. I get so many compliments on it and the size/lack of pockets means it gets a lot of use.
Let’s get this man a benchmade
[blø də ʃof]... I don't think the "eu" in "bleu" exists in English. Closest would be the 'or' of 'Word' or the 'ir' of 'bird'. Same for the 'e' in 'de'! Chauffe would be like "shoff".
I am much older than you, but I truly love your content, your sense of humor and above all being genuine and not fake nor pretentious.
Keep it up Michael 👍
It’s not entirely genuine, TH-camrs receive free products not out of the kindness of a company’s heart (such a thing doesn’t really exist lol). They get them in the hopes that the TH-camr will feel obligated to give the brand a shoutout and that the product will show up in the background of or be worn in videos. These are subtle forms of advertising. Since this guy is a businessman, he probably knows this, so his compliments are less about gratitude and more about giving the donors what they want.
@@protocetid I understand, I'm not that naive. What I am saying I feel he-as a person- is a genuine guy, down to earth. For instance his mate on theo and Harris is full of himself and it's obvious.
@@mbessio He could be, I only watched like 3 of his videos. But don't forget how many famous people have an on camera persona that is dissimilar their true personality, their true selves are revealed when met in person, by inside sources or in scandals. Never meet your heroes is a saying for a reason, celebrity worship is silly.
Starting a video like this with knives in 2024.. in the UK you’d just get arrested because of all our stupid knife crime!
Great video! That Bleu de Chauffe bag looks so good. 🔥🔥🔥🔥
How do you break a Rolex explorer by jumping into water ? It has a 100 m water resistance.
I think my wrist slapped the water pretty hard and the rotor came loose! Or it was broken before I got it and I just sealed the deal
No water came in!
Concord Massachusetts!! I'm from there!!! What were you in Concord for?! Did you go to Bedford farms?? Let me know!!!
I want you to know that I spent 30 minutes searching for this video on my watch history so this title is truly unique. It might seem conventional enough but its so general that the search engine cannot pick up anything WHILE you dont use any words that are good for search engines. the word cant has 2 ways to write so it halves traffic, live instead of like or love, without and cant are negative words that people dont usually search because they are negative words, and the worst one of them all; the number 10 and I. I physically cant find this video IF I DONT USE THE GOOGLE SEARCH ENGINE. dont change tbh lol
As a knife enthusiast you can do a lot better than James Brand for the price. Some suggestions, CRK, Quiet Carry, Pro Tech, hell even Benchmade. That’s my opinion sorry.
Found a little tune for you--maybe it you're heard it?
"I'm living in the material world
Living in the material world
can't say what I'm doing here
But I hope to see much clearer
After living in the material world
I got born into the material world
Getting worn out in the material world
Use my body like a car
Taking me both near and far
Met my friends all in the material world
Met them all there in the material world
John and Paul here in the material world
Though we started out quite poor
We got 'Richie' on a tour
Got caught up in the material world
From the Spiritual Sky
Such sweet memories have I
To the Spiritual Sky
How I pray
Yes I pray
That I won't get lost
Or go astray
As I'm fated for the material world
Get frustrated in the material world
Senses never gratified
Only swelling like a tide
That could drown me in the
Material world
From the Spiritual Sky
Such sweet memories have I
To the Spiritual Sky
How I pray
Yes I pray
That I won't get lost
Or go astray
While I'm living in the material world
Not much 'giving' in the material world
Got a lot of work to do
Try to get a message through
And get back out of this material world
I'm living in the material world
Living in the material world
I hope to get out of this place
By the LORD SRI KRSNA'S GRACE
My salvation from the material world
Big Ending"
Don’t get too “into” knife steel would be my advice. I thought I needed high class knife steel. “Good” knife steel tends to be hard to sharpen and not worth the price or effort. Something you can sharpen easily is better.
Edit: Like the Opinel. Or a Victorinox. The latest, greatest knife steel tends to be more brittle, hard to sharpen and doesn’t always have the same corrosion resistance. Don’t get me wrong. I still have some modern knives with flashy steel but it in no way makes the knife more usable or dictates what I have in my pocket (today, a Vicorinox Rambler on my car keys. So small it’s barely there but does most things I need).
Knife steel is a huge rabbit hole. There’s the blade material itself, the heat treat on the steel, and then the type of grind on the blade in conjunction with the actual edge angle. When it comes down to it, I completely agree that the flashy steels in a lot of high end modern knives are cool and can definitely boost performance, I have found that ease of maintenance has become the most important aspect of a knife steel for me.
Look at all that wall organization. SOMEONE is getting efficient (old vlog callback). Another excellent video!
Happy anniversary to my favorite metal slug🎉🎉🎉. Btw, I’ve been watching your videos for around 5 years as well. So maybe it’s our anniversary as well, swoon😊. Anyways have fun in Denmark duder.
What model is your Explorer? Looking to get one myself and am thinking 114270...
Their on snail? Who are they and what’s snail?
Put a reference number if you’re going to rock a rolex in your thumbnail. There’s like 100 different explorers
Last vid i watched really liked this guy, in this vid insufferable basically every item is sponsored or he has a monetary connection to the brand, i wish one of these edc vids was authentic. Also why is gf leave him for denmark?
I see u are left handed but wear your watch on your left hand …. I’m left handed but feel like I’m supposed to wear my watch on my right hand but it feels comfy on my left , any suggestions ?
"My first favorite thing is this knife from The James Brand... to be honest I don't know that much about knives"
Checks out.
Okay. Nice bag. But why is one of the strap buckles in a lower hole than the other? It's bothering my OCD and I wish you would change it
I just fucking love your videos mate. congrats on 5 years !
The explorer couldn’t take a dive? No very explorer ain’t it
Omg! it's a commercial with 47k followers 😂😂
holy shit, yeah that french bag is stunning. I absolutely love how refined but rough it is.
aagh, alas, no silver hardware! as much as I love brass as a metal, for personal fashion I try to stick to silver metals.
Hey dude, I noticed I wasn’t featured in this video. I mean it’s fine… just thought I would’ve been in it. Even like a runner up or something… it’s fine… we’re fine… I’m all good, no big deal…
I could have sworn you wore a Zenith Chronomaster Revival Shadow in your latest videos - acutally, i know you did. Admit it ;-)
Yo, what's the shirt you're wearing? It looks super nice. It wasn't in the Carrot link.
th-cam.com/video/yNWWOGuDI6w/w-d-xo.html wait a sec that kid is Brandon from Naked and Famous?!
Ahhh well I’ve spent the last day binge watching your channel. One of the TH-cam channels I wish had infinite videos. Can’t rush perfection I guess - cheers!
Thanks for the thoughts on midori! I went with the Travelers Notebook system and like it a lot. You need a Kaweco Sport Pen Togo with that notebook!
I'm right there with you on the Opinel! I live in France, and these things are available everywhere: supermarkets, tobacco shops, garden shops, sporting good stores...and yeah, they run like 10€. They even have rounded-tip knives for kids. The steel keeps an edge for a super long time. The museum is about an hour from my house, and I'm planning to visit it this weekend. Enjoy your time in Denmark!!

Wait wait wait, at 4:14 you say that you can’t talk that a much about watches because of Theo and Harris, is that a joke or is that because of an actual non-compete clause?
How did you break your 10k explorer by jumping in the water?
Whats the sweater you're wearing in the thumbnail? Cant find it on the carrot link
Whoops! Good catch! LL Bean roll neck!
4:01 Does it kill 99% of bacteria tho
Strange, I was watching Theo and Harris and I could’ve swore you said you were married. Enjoy Denmark. We were stationed at the embassy there for three years.
Just keep in mind what the BAWSE Rick Ross said "That Rolex on your wrist, don't let it cost your soul ."
5 years?! Propose already! 😊
5 years? I feel uncomfortable recommending marriage though I’ve been in a long and stable one. Times have changed in that regard and not for the better.
Best wishes good sir.
Knives can be nice but decades of knive crime in Scotland means even being caught outside with a 3 inch blade on a multi tool ( without probable work usage) can result in prosecution ( police discretion if they believe it’s for work) I have some opinel garden tools and cutlery and they are awesome
@K.M.V S our (Canada) knife laws aren't really that bad, they just can't be used for self defense, no autos, no balisongs, no gravity knives. The big thing is that CBSA is super weird about importing knives. I had my Chris Reeve Large Inkosi seized because they thought it was a gravity knife. Worked several months for an appeal for that thing because no chance I'm forfeiting a $700 CAD knife.
In NYC your pretty limited to what you can carry based on blade size and locking mechanisms. All autos are illegal in NY, you can own them just can’t carry them. In the city though if your caught with any sort of flipper or semi auto mechanism It’s probably going to get confiscated. Up here in the ADK we can have under a 4” blade while carrying as long as it’s not an auto mechanism. I have a civivi KI-V mini to make sure my carry is legal where ever I go, of course we could all just carry a Swiss Army knife.
Edit: NY State also does not want you carrying any sort of gravity deploying knife.
As a knife person who recently became a fan I suggest you buy a Chris Reeves Sebenza 21 or 31
Q: Demographics on youtube.
A: Nice people who like to watch stories about knives and natural indigo, with a woollen side of shedding, on digital, on film, with a quenelle of journaling, all in the hope that the 5th is glorious.
You should maybe make a video about things your not making money from you c u next Tuesday
Congrats on the 5 year anniversary, maybe it's time to propose lol.
Ugh. When ever the james brand is brought up, you know know they paid the video maker to include it... especially when it's followed up with 'idk much about knives'. Makes all the other stuff you suggest questionable.
not paid! Promise!
Hey Michael - What is the overshirt you are wearing in this video?
10:11 the hole you use in the left strip is lower than the right one, it drives me crazy, for your information :)
I’m whats your gfs puffer jacket called?
Leica is overpriced, Fujifilm is way better.
Michael you’re very funny and cute so if you ever leave your girlfriend and turn gay lmk
if you like pocket knives... i suggest getting a CRK!
Since now we know how easily you can get watches, now you dont have any excuses to talk more about them in the Channel
You still work for Theo and Harris? Please come back
Visit Brund when you’re in CPH. Lots of denim and really nice clothes. Big recommendation!
just curious what happened to the explorer when you jumped in the water?
Gotta get yourself a Chris Reeve small Sebenza. Best pocket knife you can buy that isn't a custom imo.
Yes, any Chris Reeve! But the Small Seb has a very Michael vibe to it, and is definitely their best small knife
Why you sound like OperatorDrewsky?
So you ARE the guy from Theo and Harris!!!
Im french and i Promise You your Opinel is not a true Opinel
ayyyy dude. i think we are due for a new version of this. thanks. also ur killin it
look up Holtz Leather Co for wallets! I have had one of their card holders for like two years, and I love it!
No one loves this e channel more than me (and Squarespace).
really? no mention of that pelikan on ur bag?
why is taylor in denmark? ldr is tough as heckkk
What trash can is that?
"Because... last time I checked... this isn't MKBHD." HAHAHA Nice.
I thought Viberg 145 got discontinued. Im looking foword to see your take on them. That chair is fier you have there
Just watched the denim video, excited to see you are getting in to knives. If you ever want to know more about them I'd be happy to help. Been in the industry for many years. Cheers.🤙
I would also cry If I had to move to Denmark
Cool knife but don't walk around with it in your pocket in public in Denmark. You are not allow carry knives in public unless you have a specific purpose (fishing, hunting..). The penalty is between $440 and 40 days in prison 😲
For what it’s worth,the Opinel n8 carbon blade only costs 8 euros in France.😉
How did I never know you had your own channel! First time viewing. Subbed. Going to buy an Opinel. 😎👍🏼
I love Denmark lol while you're there you should take the train to Malmo and Lund, no more than 45 min away and you get to see a bit of Sweden! Safe travels bro
I've been using my Opinel No. 8 for 13 years. Has developed a nice patina on the wood, and the metal is blackened to prevent rust.
Congrats on 5 years. Time to do a Work watch excursion videos from Denmark and showcase all the Scandy watch makers.....
did you jump in with the crown unscrewed??
Hey Michael, Thanks for your interesting content. The spelling of your French postman bag was not obvious for me to find in your write up. How is it spelled exactly? Thanks so much.
WHATS COMING, MICHAEL?
Switched from Opinel to an Antonini Old Bear, never looked back, just superior where it matter, the lock, ,never even thought this would close on my hand, but Opinel, always, through multiple examples, would work itself loose on even the lightest work.
My wallet is a Vulkit, it looks like leather, feels like leather, hell it even smells like leather, but it's thinner, and has 2 quick access slots for cards or folded cash, and all of it has wireless protection for your cash cards.
Got a Casio G-Shock too, but one of the ones where the characters are white, while the background is black, as I find that far easier to read, and is easier to read in dark lighting, even without activating the back light.
I just have a small set of steel cutlery from IKEA (Also some steel straws and chopsticks), I feel and experience has shown me, that having cutlery that is purpose built is better than trying to make other tools work as cutlery, funnily enough they are the best cutlery I have, even though I got it all from IKEA, apart from kitchen knives, which were Aldi / Lidl, and my steak knives which are Lagioule.
Who makes your grey overshirt please?
I KNEW I RECOGNISED YA. Theo & Harris the totally unbiased rapport of vintage watches
