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  ___________________________________________________ OTTOMH Easily available: ZT Semi-available (regular drops but will sell out): CRK Hinderer Koenig Then you get to midtech stuff that's much harder to snag, and there are too many to really list but guys like Les George Jonathan McNees Brad Southard Demko Of course there's the full production stuff: Spyderco Hogue Kershaw Microtech Protech Medford Olamic Emerson Spartan |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By WICOUNSEL: Don't push him man. Let him spend some time with it, get a feel for it. On some knives you pick them up and you know, they belong with you. On my CRKs I had to spend some time with them to appreciate what they are all about, their history, their simplicity, their beauty. You pick it up and you think, yeah, OK that is nice. But the true appreciation comes with time. The feel. Noticing the little nuances. With my first one it took a day or so. At first I thought, maybe I spent too much... But then it just felt right. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By WICOUNSEL: I forgot one thing the other day when I was talking about what I do to knock down the fuzz and sharpen the blade: I also clean the lithium grease out and replace it with nano oil. Seriously though, don't give up on it if you don't fall in love with it right away. Spend some time with it. Take it out to a nice steak dinner. Appreciate the finer things about it. Mine grew on me. I felt a bit empty after I sold mine to the closet case. Glad I have one back in the rotation. You should try a 31 as well |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Star_Scream: Their double rye is tasty and I believe well priced. It is better priced, $27 instead of $60 So I got some to compare.  The double rye isn't bad, but the rendezvous rye is much smoother, more refined, clearly a superior product for sipping. once the vernor's went in to them, you couldn't tell much difference (the rendezvous was still a bit better). at twice the price the rendezvous lost on that count. Speaking of vernors, discovered the local licker store normally carries it, there is a shortage right now for an unknown reason, but they normally have it and at a good price. In rye news, FFL is picking up Sazerac for me
