Venona EDC beads (Grail Drop #12)

Handmade in California by Tim Markel, the Venona EDC beads are the 89th one-time shop-drop by the Orange County maker and the 12th Copper Wagon Grail Drop. The Venona beads feature rare vintage (1990s) black canvas Micarta from International Paper, grade 5 titanium layers ready for anodizing, multiple Hyperglow layers, and twin lab opal layers that flash with elusive sparkle in sparkle at certain angles and lighting conditions.

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

A total of 11 Venona beads were made, but only 9 are available through the shop-drop. Every CW bead comes to you with a signed certificate of authenticity, themed paracord, and limited-edition swag.
