Address book metal edge

Even in times of electronic address books on computers, cell phones and similar devices, a solid, paper address directory is quite helpful - not only because it makes you independent of power supply and battery power. It can also be entertaining to take from time to time such an address book to hand, to browse through it and to come across, for example, the addresses of old friends who once again to contact one had already planned for some time.

That the natural habitat of these address books handmade at Lake Chiemsee is the backpack or even the expedition box, you can see already in the unusual edge reinforcement of nickel-plated sheet metal: the rounded corners cover of 2-mm-Texon is so immune to shock and compression.

Texon is used as a leather substitute material mainly in the textile and shoe industry, but also fulfills its purpose as a binding material or, as here, as a cardboard substitute; because the material of latexed cellulose fibers, which is related to the paper in terms of production technology, is bound waterproof and therefore less sensitive to moisture, significantly more resistant to mechanical stress, and it does not "delaminate", that is, it does not dissolve - unlike open-edged processed cardboard - after prolonged use in individual layers.
