Pine Miner EDC Beads (Grail Drop #14)
Handmade in California by Tim Markel, the Pine Miner EDC beads are the 94th one-time shop-drop by the Orange County maker and the 14th Copper Wagon Grail Drop. The Pine Miner bead features a special vintage emerald green paper Micarta that was produced by Current Composites in the early–mid 2000s. This specific recipe has become highly sought after and difficult to source in recent years as remaining stock continues to dwindle rapidly. While Current Composites has reportedly attempted to recreate this material over time, none of the later versions have matched the depth, character, and color of this original recipe. Variations in the epoxy formulation used during that period are believed to be a key reason that this batch of emerald green Micarta has never been successfully replicated.
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.
The Pine Miner EDC beads were fine-tuned to work perfectly on your standard 6mm spin-sticks/bead-caddies, or as a knife lanyard bead, or zipper-pull.
A total of 18 Pine Miner beads were made, but only 17 are available through the shop-drop. There are 5 Alt variants that have a white Skur Composites Hyperglow core rather than Invisible Aqua. The Alt Variants will be distributed at random. Please leave a note at checkout or send an email after if you do not want an Alt Variants.
There are three Pine Miner beads with very minor blemishes available.
