More evidence that people are seeking forever objects: The success of this Oceanus Brass Stapler, by the company that brought you that 20-pound stainless steel drinking mug.

Machined out of an inch-thick block of brass, the staple-less stapler uses a punch that perforates the paper and folds a tab over to lock the pages together.

"Ergonomically shaped for one-handed use, the Oceanus Brass Stapler is balanced and deeply satisfying to use," the company writes.

The diminutive stapler is just 2 ¾" square by an inch thick, but being brass, weighs 13 oz. Not as heavy as that mug, but will certainly last you just as long.

The $90 stapler has been a rousing success on Kickstarter; at press time it had garnered $160,000 with 26 days left to pledge.
