Reply to This is what BIFL is really about. Not only does Lee Valley still sell the consumable blade for their old marking gauges (discontinued nearly 20 years ago), it's actually a dollar cheaper than the blade for the new model. by yboy403

While I do not have this tool, this post has made me realize 20 years ago was not, in fact, 1990 lol

Depending on where you live, I honestly just use the Aldo one. It’s cheap but I’ve used it for 15 years and never been disappointed! Aldo Water Resistant Lotion. Sold out right now but I’m sure they’ll restock very soon.

Yes! I use a leather conditioner/protector before exposing them to the elements and regularly throughout the winter (maybe once a month). Then one final coat at the end of the season before they’re put in storage :)

I have a pair of Artica boots. I have not had them for life, but I’ve worn them in snow for three winters (including salt, mud, etc) and they still look and feel brand new. Real leather and water proof too.
