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: 
 A waved Spyderco Delica and a Kwaiken by Dynamik Blades aka Smithy

Very rugged country, mountain goat country right behind the town. That was where the 454 pistol was created I think.

Gorgeous place nestled between two mountain ranges. I thing Harrison Fords place is by there. I fought a couple fires in those mountains and planted trees (i mean inspected the planting). Amazing fishing around there too. One place I dont know much about is the Sheridan area. The Big Horn mountains are beautiful and I think the winters are easier. Edit: Casper, Rawlins, Rock Springs are all pretty rough towns. Cheyenne, Laramie, Jackson (super expensive), Cody, Sheridan are all nice places as long as you have a career that will support your fun habits. I'd have to do some digging to see if I can find the town. He lived right at the base of a mountain. You'd go 100 feet off of their back porch and it was a good 60 degree hill for a few thousand feet. He would take his sled, stand it up on the tail and weave his way up the mountain through the trees. I'd make a turn and stuff a ski and fall over.  Or that could be down around Afton in the Star Valley. Gorgeous there too. We fought a fire on that side too. Very rugged country, mountain goat country right behind the town. That was where the 454 pistol was created I think. I'm pretty sure that's it. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By sywagon: Okay, China, I'll pass. I wonder if they all are made there. I typed out a lecture on dishwashing drink glasses but it was lost when I applied a browser update. It went blah blah etching cloudy glasses long term blah blah residues affect flavors supposedly and "legs" (and heads for beer) blah blah handwash dawn rinse well blah blah don't use so many glasses unless your doing a formal comparison. With such deep dedication to education, you should be a professor. Of course I was comparing different types. Why would I need 14 glasses for the same type of bourbon!?!? These aren't collectible glasses, so not worried about clouding long term. I use special dishwasher detergent with Dawn. |

It's an old school F95 on washers, traded the Maximus towards it. Flies open, very nice hydraulic close. Not drop shut, but looser than CRK, for example. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By WICOUNSEL: Yeah, with that kind of weight, that is a good whiskey glass. So your hands aren't waving around all wild like after you have had a dozen. The weight helps keep your hand steady and sure as you raise another glass of life water to your lips. On the topic of weight we've had these whiskey glasses for a while and I like them. They've got a lot of mass on the bottom and it's wide enough to hold well.  My wife bought these for me for Japanese whiskys and I like the shape and weight there as well

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Justabulletaway: The first Chinese I ever had was at a higher quality Cantonese style restaurant. I've never had any other that compared. They had the best egg drop and hot and sour ever but all of their food was top notch. I never doubted the origins of their meat... This was one of the old school places that brought everything out in the covered serving platters. Man I miss Chinese food sometimes. No too friendly to my diet these days. I do make homemade beef and broccoli occasionally. Mmmm love Chinese food. When I was in College we'd drive to Chinatown for Dim Sum at probably some of the best spots outside of Hong Kong. Amazing. Nowadays I try to find a good spot when I move somewhere else wise we just make it. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Kuraki: Honestly there are 2 reasons I use that for lanyards. One is it's thick and relatively stiff so makes for something to actually grab on to when the knife is tucked deep in a pocket or sheath. Two is that of all the different knots out there, this one is relatively easy to tie well even for me. Once you do a few and get the hang of holding 2 strands with your middle, ring and pinky, while pulling the other 2 strands tight with your thumb and index, you can just go to town and knock them out. The weaving is in big loops so there's no threading the needle or chasing slack through a weave. If I get brave, I may have to try some. I need some lanyards and was going to see about MrSig239s options, but there is something to be said for doing it oneself. Plus i might have to loop the cord in before I start tying knots. |

It's that time of the year gentlemen.. St. Joseph's is upon us. Because Easter is so early this year, the Feast of St. Joseph's is early as well. It's a fat pill time of year. These start when the famous Polish "punch-kees" end.
Zeppoli St. Giuseppe are a sweet, thin crust pastry filled with vanilla or chocolate pastry cream or ricotta cannoli filling. Vanilla is the overwhelming favorite (pictured). With a nice double espresso, these things are awesome. They age you geometrically but they are yummy.  Attached File |

Neighbors were out of town last week so I shoveled a little, brought packages in doors for them. Nothing major. They caught me doing it on their ring doorbell.
Today they dropped off a little thank you. They're almost as bad as the neighbor that brings BBQ treats.
