Backpacking Navigation Handmade Brass Personalize Compass for Best Man Get Well Hiking Camping Hunting Trekking Sailing Adventure Travelling Graduation Day Birthday Gifts for Son Back to School

Absolutely beautiful 😍I've bought a few compass' on Amazon but have had to return all of them because they just weren't functional. Beautiful is great but I need one that is functional as well and this is the one. The wood box is also top tier! Usually the case feels cheap but this cape feels solid like it was made to last.

I honestly was not expecting such a nice classic style compass for under $30 including tax.Nowadays, you'd probably be lucky to get the presentation box for $30.The box is actually milled from a sold block of black walnut. No joints, just two book matched solid chunks of wood hollowed out to fit the compass and hinged together with a compression closure pin to hold it shut.The two halves are from the same piece of wood so the grain perfectly matches.It would appear that the wood is natural and only polished.Yes, you can actually polish certain hardwoods.You can really tell it has been crafted with precision!Except... I do have one small complaint about the box.When they milled it out, the bit left a small lump in the middle of each side of the compass bed which they simple put some green pool table cloth over.They really should have sanded down these nubs.You can feel it on both halves of the box. Eventually, if carried often in it's box, these raised nubs would scratch the compass after the pool table cloth inserts wear through.I will replace this poll table cloth with some Royal Blue velvet that I have around here somewhere.Other than that issue, the compass is perfect, with just a smidge of green fuzz coming out of the rotation point of the chain ring.I freed it up a bit with a precision oiler. No big deal.At least this tells me it's solid brass, and not just plated.As far as packaging for shipping goes, I don't believe I've ever seen packaging like this in my life!The compass was wrapped in super tight plastic wrap and taped all around, then it had additional plastic jammed in between the compass and the box so it wouldn't rattle in transit, then the original box wrapping from the factory, then bubble wrap, then it was stuffed inside a corrugated box that was the exact fit for the compass box with the bubble wrap on it, and finally, the box was completely enshrouded in tape!Man! It took me 10 minutes just to get to the compass! Lol!It was just like getting a gift from one of your smart ass friends or family members that puts your gift in a box, in a box, in a box! Phew! What a chore! Well, it was kept safe in transit!Anyway, I'm very pleased with this nostalgic and simply elegant pathfinding chunk of brass!I would definitely buy another!A few side notes:It would have me nice if a chain were included, and if the needle tip was luminous. Of course, radium has no place in a classic compass, but it would be a nice touch.

Extremely satisfied/happy with my order. Beautiful compass, beautiful wooden case. Quality, Loved it !! 🇿🇦

Had it for a few weeks now and really like it. I was nicely surprised by the high quality of the wooden presentation box it came in which is felt lined. The compass itself seems to be made of mostly brass and the dial is very nice. It actually works as a compass and sometimes I keep it in my back pocket if I am in an area I do not know too well. I have some military-type compasses, but I know I can sit on this one all day.I bought it to use it, but am thinking of getting my sailor Dad one for Christmas now. Good value for money.

This product is outstanding quality, exceeds on all points. The needle is very responsive the craftsmanship is quite nice apparently, even handcrafted. I love the care taken in the build I would recommend this product to anybody.

My son (8 years) got this for Christmas and loves it. He has to use it outside, for indoors there are other influences on compass that make it not read correctly. But good buy and lovely case. Makes it a special item

It’s a good quality my only issue is you can’t hold and use it, if it’s not on a flat stable surface the needle will tilt and not work right. Other than that it’s fine

The compass is top quality and very classy! As a captain, I would recommend it to anyone!👍
