Frenemy EDC beads (GLOW)

Handmade in California by Tim Markel, the Frenemy EDC beads are the 76th one-time shop-drop by the Orange County-based maker and the second CW drop to feature the Renowned “ramen noodle” Russian Textolite/Micarta. The exact manufacture date of this specific Russian Textolite is unknown, but it could be anywhere from 1988 to within the past few years. The Russian “ramen weave” or coarse weave Textolite/Micarta is incredibly dense and unforgiving to work with. The coarse weave of the material gives the Micarta’s high-polished surface a slightly muted look at first. Over time, natural oils from your hands will gradually season the Micarta, enhancing its depth and creating a richer, more dimensional appearance.

Born from a passion for craftsmanship, every Copper Wagon EDC bead is carefully designed, assembled, turned, and polished in very small batches. Every Copper Wagon EDC bead is one-of-a-kind. Past drops/themes are not repeated.

Attach your Copper Wagon EDC beads to your favorite pieces of EDC gear as additional grip points while also elevating their presence in your loadout. Each meticulously crafted bead possesses a unique, evolving character and enduring charm, designed to withstand the test of time and the rigors of everyday life, ensuring it becomes a cherished heirloom for generations to come.

A total of 11 Frenemy beads were made but only 10 are available through the shop-drop. Every CW bead comes to you with a signed certificate of authenticity, themed paracord, and limited edition swag.

The Frenemy beads were fine tuned to work perfectly on your standard 6mm spin-sticks/bead-caddies, or as a lanyard bead, or zipper-pull.
