Honestly? The only thing is my Swiss army knife. I might need to restore some tools and not sure if they’d honour warranty on them, but it’s the only durable thing I have faith in.
Also my wife’s pussy! (I’m sorry, couldn’t help myself)
My umbrella. It’s been absolutely worth it to invest in a solid umbrella.
Come to Wales, it won’t last 6 months. Whenever I see someone with an umbrella I can’t help think they’re new here
Need a brand and model name here, please !
Mine is a Davek, and it’s wonderful. Nice wooden handle and has never failed me, even in strong winds. They even gave me a card I can use to replace it once, if anything happens to it!
Thank you ! They sadly aren’t avaliable in my country :(
But I’ll make sure to buy one if I go abroad
My guitar.
Our cast-iron pots
Probably our stainless steel too
Our cast iron pots were inherited from my grandmother, and I expect when I die they’ll find another home.
Same with my cast iron pans.
In line with this, I love my carbon steel wok and pans.
+1 cast iron crew, I have my mother’s pans, which were her grandmother’s. They had a little rough patch when mom went through some shit, and I later had to reseason them but they are 👨🍳🤌💋 now.
Other lifetime items would be my piano, Singer sewing machines, china (I have like 4 passed down collections, lol), and probably most of my hand tools.
My house.

So long as I can replace parts like battery and storage, my Steam Deck. That, and pretty much all the consoles I currently have.
Second this. I will likely upgrade to a steam deck 2 in the future just based on how good the OLED is, but honestly if it never comes I’m fine for years and years with kt
Pretty much all of my music stuff (instruments, amps, pedals). I could maybe see myself selling some, or trading or whatever. But at least the physical instruments should last a long forever…unless some catastrophic event damages them.
Virtually everything, only expecting another 5 years, tops. :(
Inbefore:
Toaster
Electric shaver (oscillating)
Bone-conducting headphones
Multi-tool (all stainless construction)
Does the shaver and headphones have replaceable batteries?
Thanks for asking.
I just looked it up and the shaver has an ifixit video on how to replace the battery. Looks like a 10-15 minute changeover.
No video or instructions for the headphones, but a replacement battery part is available.
What has made bone conducting so good for you? I got a pair from my partner but we aren’t super impressed vs earbuds, except they suit fitness better
I like them, because most of my use cases are to still be able to hear if other people close-by call out.
Being able to use them wet is a bonus.
The 8hr playback is good for me.
They are quite hardy
The lower sound quality and lower volume is not a problem for me, because it is at a passable level.
If I want crisp sound, it’s on monitors or decent enclosed headphones.
My collection of straight razors.
Most are made somewhere in the last century, some are even older then that. These have a theoretical lifespan as sharpening them will remove the tiniest bit of metal but as I have 100+ of them I think I will never ever have to buy a razor again in my life. Heck, even my children and their grandchildren will be able to use them. If they have the nerve and courage to use them that is.
Pffft, that takes too long. Real men shave with a belt sander.
Came here to say my DE razor that I bought second hand which was made before WW2. Still going strong and used every day.
I have ADHD, so literally nothing is safe.
Same, but I have some hope for the 440 lbs anvil in the shed.
Same. Plus hobbies and interests change so there is always new stuff coming and old stuff going.
My Benchmade pocket knife. Because even if I do damage it they will fix it lol.
I’m not huge on brand loyalty but they have always taken care of me and my buddies whenever anything goes wrong with one of their knives. I will always recommend them for anyone willing to spend a bit more on a very solid knife with a great warranty.
Edit. Spelling
Benchmade switchblade was my first thought too. I’m so happy switchblades are being made legal again.
I’m old enough to realize most everything will either need to be replaced or given up as lifestyles change, but young enough not to count random stuff I happen to have.
Some really precious things I’ll keep forever, but don’t really use.
Just looking around the house and thinking, will I have any of this in my last years is sobering.
That said there are a few knickknacks I’m likely to keep since they are small and easy to keep up with. Maybe my collection of old Christmas albums. A few ornaments. A few Keychain. Deploymas…
The cast iron has made it 30 years with me and I expect it to live past my lifetime and my kids’ lifetimes and if they have any kids who want them, outlive them as well.
I have some furniture (cabinets) from my grandma that my kids want when I die too, in particular the gun cabinet my dad converted to a shelved cabinet.
I never want to move again, so the house I hope but it requires so much maintenance I don’t know if it counts.
If I can possibly keep my 2014 Honda going I will. Would prefer to keep it until I stop driving (love it so much) but like the house, at some point I’m not sure it’s the same car.
