Bespoke Post is a men’s subscription box that I've found is really great for anyone. They offer a new selection of curated boxes each month and allow you to choose the one you like best. The included items range from clothing to DIY kits, to lifestyle, to home and everything in between so that there is always something for everyone. This subscription was one of the first ones I lusted after when reading MSA long ago so I’m overjoyed to be reviewing it every month now!
This is a review of the "Point" box which is currently sold out.
My Subscription Addiction pays for this subscription. (Check out the review process post to learn more about how we review boxes).

Bespoke Post "Point" Review
The "Point" box that I chose this month has a simple info card that gives a description of the three items included. It also had me wonder what "EDC" stands for which Andy explained is "Everyday Carry" and is a common term with dudes. Meaning- these are items to always have on your person, every day.
StatGear Pocket Samurai Keychain Knife in Bronze - Retail Value $19.99
The first item is this super cool mini bronze pocket knife that has a hole in it to attach to a keyring. How handy! The pocket samurai knife is made from aircraft aluminum and a 440C stainless steel blade. Once Andy versed me on how to open and close it safely, it was simple to do. With a flick of the thumb, I can use the nub at the base of the blade to open, then simply depress a piece of metal near the hinge of the handle to allow it to close again. The knife was offered in both antique bronze and gray but I chose the bronze to better match the other items. The blade of this knife is extremely sharp even though it's small at two inches (almost five inches long total with handle). It also features a clip on the back so that you can attach it to a belt but I've decided to keep it in the breast pocket of my parka... just in case.
Machine Era Solid Pen in Original Brass - Retail Value $38.00
Next, we have this gorgeous brass pen that nearly made me drool when I saw it. I am quite a pen collector and although my normal fare is Japanese gel pens, this heavy, stately pen is machined in the ol' US of A in Richmond, VA. It comes loaded with a Pilot G2 cartridge but also fits a Signo Uni-ball cartridge as well which means you can refill this bad boy when the ink runs out. I love the weight of this pen, but I think my favorite part is the threaded end so that I'm able to screw the cap on to it while in use. How clever and well designed!
Craighill Closed Hex Keyring in Brass - Retail Value $30.00
The last item is another great everyday piece in the form of a hex key ring. One: I actually saw a different keyring by this brand while at the Pittsburgh Schoolhouse store a few months back but wanted this version which they were out of. Two: I love this design since I don't have to pry apart a ring to finagle keys onto it. All I have to do is unscrew one of the ends to easily slide all of my keys on with no broken nails or cuss words uttered. The design is clean, simple, and I love the way it looks holding my keys. This is my new favorite thing!
Verdict: I am overjoyed with my latest Bespoke Post selection. This kind of well-designed and well-made craftsmanship is exactly what I look for from this subscription. All three items are beautifully made as well as extremely functional yet simple. Altogether they have a retail value of $87.99 which is great for this $48.95 box.
To Wrap Up:
Can you still get this box if you sign up today? Sadly, the "Point" box is currently sold out. But they have a brand new selection this month to choose from!
