    I assume you mean the weird-looking metal tools strapped in over on the right side of the main panel?

    Those are boot-pull multi-tools. One has a (broken) buttonhook, the other has a sort of specialized punch to help lace things up. They unfold and offer sturdy bars with a hook on the end that you can use to pull your boots on.

    Hmm. I mean that has so much stuff, so if you wanna go all out then...

    1. A DE, ofc.
    2. Brush and some kinda of shaving soap/cream in a refillable tin.
    3. A "Desktop Charger", u know one of those things with multiple charging ports? I'd say to be useful to everyone at least 60W, and 3 ports. Hopefully at least one port is USB-c
    4. 2 USB charging cables with magnetically attached interchangable ends (USB C, and lightning). Obviously in a braided and in a leather pouch.
    5. Small Swiss army tool.
    6. OH OFC, embedded into the all wood box itself (and ofc removable if you want) is a 20Ah portable battery.
    I'm sure there's more stuff. You know what, let's get some ideas out there and make this a reality!!

    Just received this marvelous ivory pined 7-day set from Marshes & Shepherd.

    All the blades are really neat. Some work to do on the box, but it is my nicest 7-day set catch so far !
