A machined stash for your emergency cash.
Cache (kash) [noun]
1. a hidden place for provisions, valuables, treasure – as used by explorers or adventurers
2. a secure place of storage
The Wingback Key Cache is designed to enhance and complement your everyday carry, while discreetly adding functionality. It neatly clips onto your keyring and contains a secure compartment to store banknotes and an “if found” note in case your keys go missing. Having emergency cash tucked away will spare your blushes if you forget your wallet. It could even save your bacon on your travels – a backup $100 note can get you out of a lot of tricky situations. Machined from a solid bar of aerospace-grade stainless steel, the Key Cache has been designed to last for decades, not months.

Considerations: The Black Steel key cache retains all the precision and corrosion-resistant qualities of stainless steel, while the tungsten carbide finish increases the surface hardness 9x. Any marks it picks up from regular use should be easily wiped away. However, the surface is scratch resistant, not scratch proof. Anything harder than the surface (diamond, some ceramics) or really aggressive use will be able to scratch it, but most items you would carry in your pocket shouldn't. Just remember to carry your diamonds in a separate pocket!

PERSONALISATION
Black Steel rivals the exotic look of Damascus steel or titanium, with a sub-metallic lustre that reveals a glimmer of the steel beneath the surface. It is applied using a technology called magnetron sputtering, where nano layers of tungsten carbide carbon are deposited onto the steel surface. Finished in Cambridge and laser engraved, assembled and packaged in London, all items can be personalised and made to order. It takes time, but so does anything worth holding onto.
