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

I’ll pick his brain, that’s pretty bizarre. Try Nitro-v, it’s not much more than aeb-l. 3v, or 4v is also an outstanding choice. Or just jump up to Elmax, or Magnacut. Yessss |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By rbb2: Pickle relishey (lightly sweet but more vinegary - hopefully will mellow a bit with time in the jars) but with sweet corn not cucumbers. Wife found the recipe and wanted to try it. I shucked five dozen (plus bonus ears) last night, she steamed them, I cut them, she cooked the relish and filled the jars, I processed them. It was quite a production and made a huge fucking mess. Made those nine jars plus two more there want room for in the canner, and probably have enough corn left to do another half a batch but I think we'll just freeze it plain or freeze dry it. Probably the last of the sweet corn for the year, the farmer said this was his "hail Mary" planting that doesn't always make it if the weather isn't just right. Should be good. Seems like one of those things where you put in a lot of work but the yield doesn't seem to match. |

Got my Cuscadi scales and MXG titanium pocket clip on. I really don’t recommend either of them.
The clip doesn’t have a rear tang so no matter what the screw closest to the border of the grip won’t seat all the way on either the factory or Cuscadi grips. The Cuscadi grips are too thick for the pivot. You can see that it’s only grabbed on by a couple threads and even that’s so tight I now have to flick the knife open. The G10 machining depth is all over the place so parts of the grips are actually smooth. Going to put it back stock and probably sell the whole package as I hate the factor carbon fiber. ETA: Third problem. Neither the MXG or factory screws are long enough to secure the pocket clip. The MXG must have grabbed by one thread as the clip ripped off first time pocketing it. Both of these brands look good on Instagram but don’t give much thought into actually using them.

Quote HistoryI’ll check them out. In factory form this knife is an Instagram model, nothing else. The grip is probably the worst I’ve felt but the Cuscadis do feel amazing in comparison. ETA: Heck, I can probably get custom hardware made for cheaper than new grips. Maybe I’ll price that out first. |

I can eat tacos everyday. Tacos tacos tacos. I need to up my cardio game for something and tacos aren’t helping.  Tacos are an everyday food.
