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:

I think they hold in a lot more moisture due to boiling them and creating a "skin" before baking. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By WIC: When I was in Sheridan Wyoming I saw Buffalo Trace for $20/bottle. Probably 50 of them on the shelf. Around here it has been $25-30 for as long as I have known about it. Got me thinking, definietly worth $20, $25-30 still pretty solid, but what about something else in that range? I know I like Four Roses select at $35 better, but what about $25-30? Russel's came to mind. So, critical testing commences. https://i.imgur.com/IKuwEuy.jpg I was expecting the Russel's to be better than the BT from memory, but at first blush, they were pretty even. Further testing needed. Hard hitting investigative journalism. I look forward to further reports |

Why not tie a proper knot and just untie it, or if you're going to cut it anyways just cut it before or after the knot with a blade? An awl is for making holes in things. A marlin spike is for undoing knots. (not mine - not sure where my old rigging knife is)  |
