The Glass Ninja EDC lanyard beads (Grail drop #2)

Handmade in California by Tim Markel, the Glass Ninja EDC lanyard beads are the 49th one-time “shop drop” by the Orange County-based maker and the 2nd CW shop-drop to feature vintage Westinghouse special glass micarta.

Westinghouse Special Black Glass Micarta is one of the rarest and most highly sought-after materials in existence, often considered 'grail-level' by collectors. Produced for a brief period in or around the ‘80s for decorative applications, it was immediately discontinued by Westinghouse. As the remaining supply has been increasingly acquired by collectors, it has become exceedingly rare, with some even considering it nearly extinct. Despite the name, the material is very durable.

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

Attach your Copper Wagon EDC lanyard 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.
