Mk I Walnut

$145.00

The MK1 Walnut Waxy is a study in classic, understated luxury. Utilizing 3oz Badalassi Carlo Waxy leather in a deep, traditional Walnut brown, this edition is for those who prefer a timeless look that feels established from the very first day. It offers a darker, cooler tone compared to the Cognac, perfect for a versatile daily carry.

The Materials

  • 100% Badalassi Carlo Waxy (Walnut): This 3oz Italian vegetable-tan hide is steeped in a proprietary blend of oils and waxes. The Walnut colorway is deep and chocolatey, showcasing a sophisticated grain that looks as good in a boardroom as it does in the field.

  • Subtle Pull-Up Effect: The Waxy finish provides a beautiful, nuanced pull-up. As the leather flexes, lighter amber tones emerge from beneath the dark walnut surface, creating a rich, marbled depth that changes with every move.

  • Tonal Braided Thread: Hand-stitched with a premium matte thread that matches the deep walnut tones perfectly. The non-waxed finish ensures the stitching remains clean and allows the natural texture of the Italian hide to be the focal point.

  • Hand-Finished Edges: Every edge is painstakingly sanded and burnished to a glassy, natural finish, highlighting the clean layers of the 3oz construction.

Technical Specifications

  • Dimensions (Closed): 3.125" W x 4.25" H

  • Profile Thickness: ~0.35" (Ultra-slim, front-pocket carry)

  • Leather Weight: 3oz (approx. 1.2mm)

  • Construction: 100% Hand-Saddle Stitched for a lifetime of use.

  • Capacity: 4 vertical card slots + 1 thumb-slide ID window.

  • Signature Branding: Features the Schaefer Atelier "Small Batch" hallmark deep-etched into the internal ID window.

The Evolution

The Walnut Waxy starts with a smooth, matte finish and a deep coffee tone. As it ages, it will polish itself against your clothing, developing a mirror-like "espresso" patina. Because it is a 3oz waxy leather, it breaks in quickly, becoming supple and molding to your cards within the first few weeks of carry.
