A few things that I've owned for a long time: - A Pilot Metropolitan fountain pen. I bought mine for $15 nearly a decade ago, and it is to this day my goto pen. It works as smooth as the first day, which is better than some much more expensive fountain pens. And it basically requires no maintenance, other than refilling it with ink. - A uni KURU TOGA mechanical pencil, also bought a decade ago. I don't use pencil very often, so I might not be the best judge of its durability, but it's basically as good as new. - My violin has been with me since I first switched to full size, which was a long time ago, and still sounding sweet and sonorous. Violins in general are made to last, and quite fixable should any damage occur. Strings and hair need to be replaced regularly, though. - I have a wooden tablet holder that I made myself in high school. It's just a block of wood with a groove, though. - Glassware, ceramic-ware, and metal-ware in the kitchen just seem to categorically not break down, even the really cheap ones. My mom's main kitchen knife has been with our family for about 50 years, and still receives daily usage. Just a brand-less traditional knife from local market, cheap, nothing fancy. - I have got an InstaPot. It was already several years old when I got it, and I've used it for about 7 years since. Not sure about BIFL, but haven't seen any sign of breakage yet.
