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

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Star_Scream: Holy shit. I had not seen that. I thought they just fell off. I hope you guys give him hell. Is there like a rally point or page you guys use to keep track of this to point people to? Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Star_Scream: Originally Posted By conndcj: DJ, owner of American Kami. There is a pretty good sized complaint thread on Bladeforums. I've known DJ for a few years from another board I'm on. I really knew zero about higher end knives until a few guys joined up that were known makers. A few guys on the board knew him as well. So a group of us decided to help a brother out and ordered a bunch of his new folders. You could choose blade steel, shape and color coatings. I got all fired up. Now the price was $850 upon order. Yes, I now know that's dumb and not how things are done but again, a whole bunch of us ordered and he was always around the board. Let's cut to the chase. That group of ours ordered those blades about EIGHT years ago. No one got their orders. The guys who bailed early got their money back. Many like me did not. This scam went far outside just my group as I found out when I joined his Facebook page I was told he had. The excuses are too numerous to list. Comms were sparse, consisting of only very defensive posts on his FB page with some sycophants running interference. He ended up just abandoning his own page. He has a website but it's dead.. From what I can gather, he's up in the mid five digit range in stolen funds. It's far from over. Some of the people in the same situation have gotten together to explore our numerous options. NO ONE steals from me so I will never let it go. I have custom makers that ask for maybe a deposit, sometimes not even that. I have a Direware mini SOLO coming soon. You get on his list, when his books are open,, by placing your order. Later on, he will then confirm your order including any options. You only pay when he is ready to build your knife. Two, three months later you have your blade. Holy shit. I had not seen that. I thought they just fell off. I hope you guys give him hell. Is there like a rally point or page you guys use to keep track of this to point people to? Ya we have a guy running point on this. All of us were on his FB page. |

Send me your address and next time I go on a bender drinking Benchmark, I'll be sure to piss in a bottle and send down to you. That's all scotch is anyways right? It just costs more because they have to ship it over from Scotchland. I'll only charge $50. Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By WICOUNSEL: Originally Posted By USMC_Dad: Thanks to WIC I’m going to find a single malt Scotch tomorrow. Thinking an 18 yr Glenllivet would be appropriate.

It just costs more because they have to ship it over from Scotchland. I'll only charge $50. Oh dear Lord, you and you scotch feelz. Bourbon is good. But versus the best single malt scotches, the best bourbons fall way short. They're like the weird uncle that has to be invited to the family picnics yet no one sits with him. They look like they belong but they don't. It's just that bourbon is more accessible in both taste and price. Aging is getting out of hand with bourbon but it is almost a necessity for scotch. No matter the maker, it's foolish to age bourbon into double digits but shouldn't go past 15 in any event. If you really want to try the best Pappy, stop at 15. Anything past that and it is almost certainly going downhill. The mighty 23 Pappy is hit or miss. I never tell anyone what to drink or not to drink. You pay you can drink whatever the fuck you want. But it's fun to try new things and see what others are doing. A good way to discover things you might not otherwise try. |

kind of response I would expect from a scotch drinker.
As you choke on that putrefied liquid, too embarrassed to admit the truth, you have to propagate the myth that it is good so others don't think less of you. "Thank you sir may I have another." All the scotch drinkers follow the same course until they begin to believe their own lies.  Really though it is very simple. It tastes disgusting to me. No interest in peat, no interest in floral. If bourbon tasted like that, I wouldn't drink it either. To say a scotch drinkers tastes are more advanced because others fail to appreciate it is a false logic. If anything, you guys just have less taste so it doesn't bother you as much. Say, I have some |

That was your opportunity to slide in as a scotch person and say see, nothing wrong with Defiant, your palate just isn't developed enough to appreciate all that it is.  But there is a silver lining here! Last year I gave KFB1 some Kirkland Bourbon without having tried it myself. I have liked a number of other Kirkland spirits, so thought it was safe. The idea was that he needed something for when he had guests since he is not a drinker. We cracked it open right away on our visit since I was a guest that needed a drink. I was not impressed. Tasted like bad Jim Beam to me. Just recently we were talking and I apologized for the subpar bourbon again, and he said oh no, its great, I gave it to my dad. I was horrified, how could you give it to your dad?! He explained his dad will drink anything that is wet. He has no particular preference, good, bad, indifferent, if it is liquid, he will drink it. KFB1 doesn't drink, but his clients don't know that. One of them gave him a bottle of EH Taylor. I have been wanting to try some EH Taylor, but don't want to drop $300 plus. The possibility of diminishing returns does not excite me. I'll take some risk, but that is a little much. So next time I visit, I can try some EH Taylor and in return, give him a bottle of purported whiskey and the Benchmark. He won't know the difference, his dad won't care and I will look like I am doing him the favor giving him two bottles in exchange for a bit of his EH Taylor!

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By WICOUNSEL: It is name brand D2. Made by Bohler-Uddenholm. Very good quality, which is the usual problem with D2, you don't know the quality. And JABA is right, I am sure it is great on the Kur. My preference is just for stainless in a folder. My comment about needing to make better drinking choices was that there are some exceptional bourbons for not a lot of money. Money saved is armaments money. Scotch is just nasty. Why would you even bring that up? I just ate and am trying to enjoy my bourbon. Fun fact, Sleipner was name of Odin's eight legged horse in norse mythology. Eight legs has got to be pretty stable. 8 legged spider horse is the stuff of nightmares. Odin was cool. Spider horsey is not. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By WICOUNSEL: Good hunting knife you have there. Mary Ann did a good job today too. I went to three stores yesterday and a couple more today trying to avoid going where JaredGrey said he found this stuff. But I had to suck it up and go to Meijer. Last time I went to Meijer was for another secret sauce only they had at the time. I hate that store. It's like half a step up, or maybe just sideways, from WalMart. There I was, under the soft glow of bad fluorescent lighting, wandering in an unknown land, looking for the fabled spirit. I finally found the licker section and spent a lot of time going back and forth down the isles, scanning row after row of cheap swill for the one golden trophy. I found regular Bulleit right away but was then forced to wander around looking at end caps, hoping maybe it was just separated out as a special item. Feeling a bit desperate after multiple passes I returned to where I started. And there it was. It wasn't on an end cap, it was between the end cap and the regular Bulleit in a cardboard stand up display.  It was gratifying to find it, but gave me a bit of sticker shock at $60. It certainly gave me a moment of pause. Not used to that pricing for Bulleit. But still, single barrel hand selected spoke to me more than the other Bulleit variants I have seen at other stores, so I needed to try it. Glad I did. Solid buy. Very tasty. It's going right next to the 1920 and Rare Breed. Thank you for the rec Mr. JaredGrey sir. https://i.imgur.com/XiwGvzg.jpg Also, Costco started carrying the New Riff. Speaks well of the brand I think. Costco, or at least our local one doesn't seem to carry something just because it was a good deal or is the newest fad, their buyer has to like it.

I think you've drank plenty enough Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By sywagon: It is interesting how palates do actually develop, but there isn't any sense in how they end up. The flavors and aromas in Scotch have been developed forever to hit the spot of people looking for those things. Bourbon certainly doesn't have that advantage. I think you've drank plenty enough Are you calling me an alcoholic? As far as Scotch, I'm pretty sure though you know your disparagement is just like choosing football over soccer and thinking you have the high ground. But, for something specific like with the Macallan, you didn't actually say it sucked, you said you could see how someone other than you could like it. For an intense Scotch though, everyone knows it isn't for everyone. People simply aren't born liking really hot food, intense cigars, dark chocolate, and beer. Scotch might not be the ice cream flavor you like now is all. Again, one would have to wonder why anyone would take a recommendation from me because I like too much and am not discerning. But that is the same way I get to try a lot of stuff. Anyways, I'm still taking credit for upping the 1920 to you so there. You can take credit for the 1920. And the Buffalo Trace probably. And the deBuyer I use every day. Did you say Crisbee puck? Probably other stuff I am missing. As for the Defiant, yeah, I think it is pretty bad. The smell really, the flavor wasn't necessarily horrible. I tried to leave the door open in my review of it because I am self aware enough to know that there is something out there for everyone and maybe this one just wasn't for me. I could see where a scotch drinker or someone less discerning might think it is the bees knees just because it stands out, even if in the wrong way for me. If it was straight up bad, I would have said so (the Wisconsin Wheat was straight up bad, no idea what they were thinking putting that in a bottle). Only way you get to find your next favorite thing is to try new things. Someone else picking something for me removes all personal bias, so I am guaranteed to try something I might not have otherwise tried. As long as we are being frank right now, you can't give rational break downs to my diatribes; it messes with the slightly crazy persona I am trying to build up here. ETA - the planes are some weird print on a foil like substance that lights up really interestingly in various lights - they were from my room when I was a young child and just got cleaned up and re-hung. They are all of particular dogfight pairings and the planes are identified on the bottom. Will get a much better pic tomorrow. So one of them could be Snoopy and the Red Baron? I like Snoopy.

I made this dagger for my wife a few years ago. I always thought it would make for an nice folder.
 I finally got around to testing it out. Just over 7.5" open, blade length is 3.125" and frame is 4.375". Both edges will be sharpened so I didn't do a full dagger grind on the top side as it would cut your finger when closing it. What do you guys think of the design?

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By DamascusKnifemaker: I made this dagger for my wife a few years ago. I always thought it would make for an nice folder. https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/78788/IMG_5669c-485471.jpg I finally got around to testing it out. Just over 7.5" open, blade length is 3.125" and frame is 4.375". Both edges will be sharpened so I didn't do a full dagger grind on the top side as it would cut your finger when closing it. What do you guys think of the design? https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/78788/IMG_6445c-1785307.jpg https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/78788/IMG_6444c-1785306.jpg https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/78788/IMG_6442c-1785305.jpg Looks good! How is access to the thumb stud in the hand? It looks like it might be narrow in the pictures. |

Just hang the skins of your dead animals and fish around you.
