Yes, I know there is a sub for knives but I see cool shit posted here in GD by people who aren't in the sub then forget what the title of the thread was and then get bored trying to search through every random knife related thread in GD.
This is what I usually carry for long bike rides:

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By 80085: I'm supposed to be working right now but instead I'll take a moment to say that this is absolutely right. Comparison to others or other things is the root of unhappiness in my opinion. I have traveled to, lived in, and have family in some very poor places of the world. If I spend extended amounts of time outside of the USA in a poor area I always begin to consider how materialistic the United States has become and how in these poor areas people with literal nothing to their names can live in happiness. Their lives are not easy but they are happy. Playing dominos at midnight with friends and family is immensely more conducive to happiness than someone trying to chase possessions to create those feelings of joy. Maybe this is more information than I should share but I have a brother in law who for him happiness is spending time with friends and family and cooking meat over a fire with a beer in his hand. He needs nothing in life but that to provide him joy. On the other hand I have another brother in law who for him, happiness is 1.4 M car in his garage - or at least until he decides to sell it and buy something else because he's never content or always trying to one-up someone else. If someone isn't happy in life perhaps they have overlooked what it means to be happy and they should evaluate how keeping up with others may be negatively impacting them or others. Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By 80085: Originally Posted By rbb2: Originally Posted By DFARM: #4 reminds me of a Pa Ingalls quote from the "little house" books.

I think I've shared my thoughts on being careful what you expose yourself to in here. It's mostly rooted in being happy with what you have. As an example relatable to this thread, I used to be very happy with <$50 Kershaw pocket knives. Back in the day, there were several US made options in that price range and I never found myself wanting for a "better" knife, until I started exploring different options. Now I still don't buy very high end knives but I haven't bought a sub $100 knife in a very long time. It was easier for me to justify equipment to make knives over buying expensive knives but the ceiling of what I thought was a reasonable price for a knife has increased significantly since the days of being happy with a Kershaw leek in my pocket. Ain't that the truth! I'm supposed to be working right now but instead I'll take a moment to say that this is absolutely right.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By secretwheelman: They have the strong beefy flavor you get from chuck with maybe 85% of the tenderness of brisket. I would have liked more bark, but cooking them in rendered beef fat kinda lost some of it. I considered tossing 'em in some sauce and throwing 'em back on the smoker, but opted instead to just dip 'em. Not in the same class as good brisket burnt ends, but still good, and much quicker cook time. pretty sure the gulash I had the other day used chuck roast. Parts of it were good, the larger chunks of beef were dry in the middle. kinda gave me gut rot too. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Star_Scream: Snow Mexican bacon looks good. You're off your game; first the asparagus, now this. It's ham that was nearing the sell by date so on sale at the supermarket. It's from Maxi's neighborhood, actually (Frick's). It's no Beeler's, but it's certainly better than typical deli counter or Smithfield meat. |

They need to be consistent in size so they are finished cooking at the right time. |

I cleaned the drawers out for a purge and still haven't really acted on it. I still have my traditionals drawer, "nice" drawer, emerson drawer, and the other drawer.
The other drawer is really light, only 3-4 knives. made me realize I miss a few. Seeing MaxxII's Pena made me pull mine out from the pile again.
