If you don't yet self custody your Bitcoin keys and want to dip your toe in the water, I highly recommend the Bitcoin-only Trezor Safe 3. It's simple, very secure, and made in Europe.

You may not know this but Trezor was the first ever hardware wallet and they pioneered the use of words to replace the wallet.dat files, originally used to secure Bitcoin wallets, when they introduced and suggested BIP-39. This was incorporated into the Bitcoin protocol so now every hardware and software wallet uses these mnemonics to secure wallets.

Trezor Safe 3 Bitcoin-Only with tor routing and passphrases offers an extremely user friendly and secure entry into the world of self custody.

Only purchase directly from their website however to avoid the risk of supply chain tampering: Trezor.io

You can also pay for it with Bitcoin!

If you choose to use a passphrase keep in mind that it is case sensitive and must be entered in exactly the same way every time to access the same wallet. Blank spaces are also valid characters. Use something easy to remember but hard to guess, like another 4 - 6 words of things sitting around you. Backup the passphrase separately from your 24 words for increased security. Don't dump all your funds into a passphrase until you can easily remember it and opening it is second nature to you.
