What are your favorite low-tech tools? I mean things you use regularly that you really appreciate, that aren't computers, tablets, phones, AirPods, etc.

For example, my Stanley thermos is perfectly crafted and I use it every day. And this Rotring 600 mechanical pencil might as well be part of my hand. Exquisite balance and weight, makes writing a joy.

Interested to hear your answers in the replies.

@mcnees I have a Paisley-patterned cup with a gold-painted handle that I have used for about 40 years. The gold is almost entirely worn away.

It's perfectly weighted.

And, being a Brit, I have used it for about 5 cups of tea a day. (40 x 365 x 5 is about 73,000 cups of tea over the years...)
