Take it to the Limit is the 36th collection in the David Oscarson™ series of Limited Edition writing instruments. Produced in six primary color variations, each will be limited to an aggregate production of 100 pieces (including fountain pens and rollerballs).

Hand-crafted in solid sterling silver, the Take It To The Limit collection captures elements of our favorite automobiles, the thrill of driving, and our love for the open road.

Take It To The Limit speaks to our drivers’ “need for speed,” which was considered, along with Pedal to the Metal, as a name for the collection. However, because this collection is for our fellow fossil fuel enthusiasts, Take It To The Limit was the only appropriate name choice as this decade may be our last chance to “Take it to the Limit” in our gas-powered vehicles “one more time…”

Car fans will appreciate the gear shift image in high relief on the top of the crown (where the T=M2/m2 is on Oscarson's Nikola Tesla pen). The clip is an elongated piston and the guilloche dials on the cap display speedometer, tachometer, oil, engine temperature, and fuel.

Similar to the Koi and Sea Turtle collections, which featured “Mock-i-e” techniques in guilloche and hot enamel, the TITTL collection (also crafted from solid Sterling Silver) displays a carbon fiber guilloche-engraved pattern underneath the various colors of hot enamel. Opposite the racing stripes on the barrel is a number 1, and the engraving on the gripping section reads “If everything seems under control, you’re just not going fast enough”.

Hard Enamel

The Take It To The Limit collection continues in the spirit of artistic mastery and the tradition of Old World craftsmanship by combining the centuries-old technique of Guilloché with the art and expertise of Hard Enamel.

Using a mortar and pestle, a composition of glass, water and metal oxides is ground for hours by hand. When settled, the water is removed, leaving the fine paste that is the basis for hard enamel. A quill is then used to apply each coat of the mixture to the surface of the metal, ensuring that the entire guilloché area is completely covered in enamel. The components are then fired in a furnace at temperatures exceeding 1,000° F, fusing the enamel to the metal and forming a layer of glass.

After cooling, the pieces are manually ground with a diamond file, restoring their proper shape and surface. This tedious process is repeated at length until the level of enamel reaches the depth required to cover the peaks and fill the valleys of each intricate guilloché pattern. Each color of hot enamel requires multiple firings and a different firing temperature in the kiln. As many collection pieces feature multiple colors of enamel, many of these pieces are fired 15 to 20 times, after which each component is filed with a diamond file, re-enameled, re-fired and then filed again.

When the final stages of enameling, firing and filing are completed, each piece is polished and buffed, revealing the real glass finish of translucent hard enamel.

Production of translucent hard enamel demands the highest levels of patience, experience and skill. A five-year apprenticeship is required to ensure that the highest levels of quality will be met in each individual Collection piece.

Context, Strategies and Wisdom in a single package
Format: Kindle
This was my first book I have read by this particular author. I had spent some time looking for a comphrensive approach to Cyber Security and found many other texts to be lacking. Certain aspects are well documented, but no single source that brought it all together. This is exactly what First Principles brings to the table. As a practicioner that looks for better ways to formulate the objectives of SecOps Use Cases I have found the methods presented in this book to be immensely helpful. I have also given copies aways as a gifts to students who are just entering the field as this is by far the best intro to the long history of Cyber Security that combines the best direction for the future. The historical context that the author brings through first hand experience is beyond a treasure trove. It has been said many times in cheezy ads, but honestly, if you only read one book on Cyber Security make it this one.

Every cybersecurity professional should read this book, probably twice
Format: Audiobook
This is the Phoenix Project for cybersecurity professionals. Every chapter of this book brought clarity and a new perspective from the way industry approaches aspects of cybersecurity. The book won’t be all things to everyone, nor is it perfect, but its the single most practical and effective approach to cybersecurity I’ve found. In a time where IT is excruciatingly complex and securing environments seems like an impossible task, this has been invaluable and has affected how I think about the future. Im not associated with the author in any way. Im just in a leadership role facing these challenges every day and I think this book may some day become mandatory reading in the field.

Actionable and pragmatic
Format: Paperback
Rick Howard's Cybersecurity First Principles is an excellent read on numerous fronts. First, I love the historical references to our profession. Second, Rick provides actionable guidance on how to make our organizations and the security programs we build more resilient. The pragmatism of Rick's recommendations cannot be overstated. You'll need a couple of pens handy given how much of the book you are likely to underline as on-going references. This is a must-read book.

Great read. Well laid out.
Format: Paperback
You can tell Rick has years of experience in the field and this book is a great distillation and alignment of security to first principle thinking. Only thing better than the book IMO is the clear passion of the author. This is certainly a must read for any cybersecurity professional.
