Introducing the WNDSN Explorer’s Notebook

BERLIN, 2021-09-15 – WNDSN Applied Sciences Lab is excited to announce their first adventures into stationery, with the WNDSN Explorer’s Notebook.

“Keep a notebook. Travel with it, eat with it, sleep with it. Slap into it every stray thought that flutters up into your brain. Cheap paper is less perishable than gray matter. And lead pencil markings endure longer than memory.” –Jack London

Calculations only become real when written down, and for years Telemeter and Quadrant users have had to go without a dedicated WNDSN notebook to capture their most necessary computations.

The WNDSN Explorer’s Notebook is a one-of-a-kind addition to the stationery marketspace. This pocket notebook is designed for easy portability, durability, and pleasure of writing, and comes with several unique features.

The user will first appreciate the 40 pages of dot grid paper, designed for ease of writing, drawing, and calculation notation. However, it comes with a twist. The right page maintains a conventional square grid, while the left page is an isometric grid. Held right side up, the grid lines flow from one page to another; the user’s writing will be seamless. By turning the notebook 90 degrees the isometric grid is ready for 3D drawings.

The team at WNDSN are fountain pen aficionados, and the sensual experience of writing was first and foremost on their mind. The Explorer’s notebook is made with Swedish Munken Pure 120g/m² (32 lb) paper. Munken Pure is cradle-to-cradle certified, from sustainably managed forests and will take even the inkiest fountain pen without bleed through.

The spirit of experimental exploration is always at the heart of WNDSN products and no product would be complete without aids to ensure that the explorer has accurate mathematical results. In the back of the notebook the user will find a compendium of useful scientific guides and 18 conversion nomograms for all of their exploratory needs.

The advantage of using nomograms, a WNDSN specialty, is that unlike tables they work both ways, back and forth and in a graphical, at-a-glance, intuitive fashion.

The guides include:

  • Trigonometry: Definition of SOHCAHTOA and an explanation of the Law of Sines.
  • A Sine Quadrant with short instructions for graphical sine, cosine, and tangent computation.
  • 18 unit conversion nomograms for angle, speed, temperature, mass, volume, and length.
  • The WNDSN moon clock, a visual aid in determining time from moon phase and observed lunar shape and altitude.

No detail is left to chance, and as a finale, the cover is as useful as it is beautiful. Featuring Fedrigoni Sirio Black 290g/m² (107 lb) stock, the front cover is embossed with the WNDSN Polaris logo, a favorite amongst patch aficionados. The back cover features a 10-degree Telemeter, realized in white screen-printing complete with instructions to attach a paperclip with some string to the back of the notebook, for a fully working Telemeter.

WNDSN is excited with this first foray into stationery and note taking products, with more to come. With the WNDSN Explorer’s Notebook, WNDSN delivers an exclusive notebook with a unique and exemplary paper experience. And as added value, the scientific compendium, Sine Quadrant, and Telemeter will be useful to all explorers who value or rely on analog tools and precision when out in the field.

Black Triangle x GBRS Group EDC G10 Dagger

Black Triangle and GBRS Group have been working on a collaboration piece and they recently provided a sneak peek. The upcoming EDC G10 Dagger is a version of Winkler Knives EDC Dagger, reinterpreted with Black Triangle’s extensive experience with creating non-metallic “knives”.

Unlike many of Black Triangle’s pieces, the EDC G10 Dagger does not have a wrapped handle. It has actual G-10 scales on a G10 knife which is a detail not often seen. The blade is ground with a symmetrical chisel grind that comes to a point without real cutting edges. This is meant for thrusting not cutting (as a good G10 knife should be). The included sheath is completely non-metallic and is completely ambidextrous.

You can learn a lot more about this knife and why it was designed the way it is at BlackTriangle.com.

The new organizer can be used with the SKRAM Go Bag or to organize your own pack. It can also be used as a car/truck-seat mounted organizer thanks to the addition of new mounting loops.

The updated version of the SKRAM Organizer Insert has 3 zippered mesh pockets with a high visibility backing. It features a grab handle for easy retrieval. The insert is approximately 17x9x4″ so it should fit a wide variety of packs.

Amtac Blades Minuteman Deep Concealment Sheath

The Amtac Blades Minuteman is large enough to serve as a belt knife and yet compact enough to serve a deeper concealment role. The new Deep Concealment Sheath supports that role in addition to being well suited to use on a plate carrier.

The sheath is formed from kydex and features a very deep blade well to allow the Minuteman to sit very well when worn on the belt line. The deep well also ensures that the wearer’s body is protected from the edge until the knife is fully free of the sheath. The included DCC Clip is designed to be worn behind the belt to further enhance concealment.

The Deep Concealment Sheath is available separately. The Minuteman will continue to ship with the Fire Sheath.
