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

Spyderco isn’t such the economical deal anymore. Prices are losing reality and look to be funding another yacht.
*not that having a yacht or 10 is not a worthy endeavor, but rather getting the extra yacht at the expense of your customer base. |

Some of them aren't bad, but some are WTF level. Spyderco does 70% MAP, so the 15V Manix at around $160 street price seems pretty good, actually. I think that's what a standard Hogue Ritter in 20CV goes for. The S90V Siren is too high at $240. The dama SpyOpera is absurd at $400, as is the Cruwear Stretch XL at $285. |

Since I can't get my hands on a GEC, I did see an ad for a knife where the guy claimed a Boker he was selling is just as nice or nicer than any GEC he had handled, so I found a boker.
Solingen Germany  Nice micarta and look Not to be outdone by the company making Boker Plus for them, the Solingen boys had to make the blade slightly off center. On purpose I'm sure.  nice knife, but really small.

Made 5+ quarts of marinara yesterday, and six pints of pickled green beans today. Still have enough for two or three more pints, or maybe just freeze some more.
25 lbs. of Romas, strained and then cooked down by about 1/3. Seemed like a lot of work (time, more than work, really) for 5 quarts of sauce, but it turned out very good. Recipe called for 4 cups of fennel bulb, but I couldn't find that anywhere, so we could probably have gotten another quart of sauce if we had that. Picked up a Buck Onset for nearly half the new cost. As a kid, Buck was what you wanted for a "good" knife, so I wanted to try it out. S45, G10, frame lock, bearings. Pros: very comfortable handle, the grind is good, blade stock is on the thin side, detent and action are on point, clean lines, excellent pocket clip. Cons: blade's a bit short; lockbar tension is on the high side and access to it is very tight; has a bit of side to side play when not locked but I haven't tried to tweak the pivot yet and it's solid when locked up; steel, not titanium, for the lock side handle; overpriced. Overall it's a nice looking user grade knife that is perfectly functional and pretty ergonomic but doesn't really do anything better than many other knives, and has a couple minor to medium flaws. It's not worth what they sell it for at retail, for sure, but it's a nice enough knife if purchased used.

Cantrell is the real driving force of the band. I've seen him solo and guesting with other bands and he brings that sound that you just cant miss |
