It is fully functional. The brass is not plastic painted to look like gold. This compass works even when your internet is down and you're wondering whether to turn left in the fields. If you get lost, don't call us. The compass is yours, the territory is marked.

You have two sides for expression, but don't get carried away. We usually engrave the inside of the lid - that's the place for your deep thoughts, symbols, or initials.
Concept: You buy a compass to show direction, not to rewrite "Under the Yoke." Dancho's laser is so precise that it can even engrave the menu of the local bakery, but our advice is: be short and strong.
Personalization: The less text there is, the less likely you are to misspell something and Dancho has to add you to his prayer list. Remember "Martina" - fewer letters, less drama.

If you order now, there's a chance to save the day. If you wait until tomorrow, you might as well start practicing your sad face and the excuse "the courier delayed it." We provide speed, but give our nervous system a little head start.
Technically - Dancho doesn't eat lunch; he lives on coffee and a genuine hatred for courier companies. But let's be realistic: the laser is fast, but it's not a time machine. While Krassen in America plans "global domination" from his couch, Dancho in Sofia battles reality, brass settings, and gravity.

Surprise! This particular model is more resistant to time than Krasen's ambitions for global domination. Unlike standard brass, which tarnishes as soon as you give it a bad look, this one is made to shine.

It won't patinate, it won't stain, and you won't have to scrub it with vinegar and baking soda on a Sunday afternoon. It will remain shiny and new, just as it looked in the box while Dancho centered it under the laser with his last remaining nerves. It's ideal for people who want "eternal shine" without any effort. Much like our business model, Krasen comes up with the ideas from America, and Dancho makes sure everything looks perfect here. 😂

Our engraving is more persistent than Krasen when he's decided we're making a new product at 2 AM. Dancho's laser doesn't "draw" on the metal; it literally carves the text into it. There's no paint to chip off, and no ink to smudge. The inscription is there forever. You can scrub it, carry it in your pocket with your keys, or bequeath it to your grandchildren; the name will remain. The only way to get rid of the engraving is to melt down the compass, but Dancho strongly advises against it (because of his hard work).
In short: You're more likely to forget your name than for it to be erased from this compass.
