Re: A new spin on "HIC dropping soon"
I have been using HIC kitchen knives for more than a year now. They hold a working edge _forever_. That's their main strength. You can't really get them 'scary sharp', and they are relatively fragile (we have broken two of the paring knives now), but they hold a useable edge for a virtually infinite...

Re: How about a PM60 Mule?
I'd love to try a PM60 Mule. I'm tempted by the Kunwu, but not sure I really want to cough up that much for a Chinese knife at this point.

Re: Is this the knife everyone clamors for?
I'm extremely fond of my back lock manix. I have always wished for a Cruwear (or 3v) version.

Re: Survive knives
I have some older Survive knives in 20cv and 3v, and they've been super solid. Apparently they went downhill when they tried to scale up (unsuccessfully). My general impression from reading through things a while back is that I basically wouldn't trust them. They seem to be in the business of blamin...

Re: Which Past Mule Teams Would You Like to See Repeated?
My thinking on this continues to evolve, but at this point I think Damascus is the one I really would like to play with. I've always seen Damascus blades as 'pretty not functional' and I'd be very interested in doing abusive testing on one to see how well it held up.

Re: Good knife friendly, reasonably priced cutting board
Wood boards are actually more sanitary than plastic boards. And 'raw' wood boards are more sanitary than varnished or coated wood. I've always wanted to do a stabilized wood cutting board, because it would look nice, but it would actually be less sanitary, so I haven't done it (yet). https://www.all...

Re: Good knife friendly, reasonably priced cutting board
Making a cutting board is easy if you have some basic carpentry skills, and they make great personal gifts. Example: https://www.woodcraft.com/products/woodcraft-woodshop-exotic-cutting-board-kit-3-4-x-9-3-4-x-16-angelique-hard-maple-wenge There are tons of cool cutting boards on Etsy too. I think t...

Re: MT40P – HIC Mule Team Dropping Soon!
I don't think it's fair to fault Spyderco when a totally experimental blade in a totally experimental material doesn't live up to whatever expectations you've created for it. I bought several of the Rahven kitchen knives (which cost less) before deciding to buy the HIC mule. I had a fairly good idea...

Re: NCAA Football 2023
Isn't that stat NFL yards? So it's the yards gained in NFL play by running backs who went to each school? Wouldn't it be the NFL O-line they were rushing behind that mattered?

Re: Black Lake -- A Short Story
Do you have a YouTube channel? You could post an audio recording there.
Here's one sort of example, but I honestly prefer this kind of thing with no video at all:

This thread is killing me. I'm discovering a bunch of new small EDC fixed blades I'm going to have to try out.

I feel like this should be oral, not written. I'd love to see the author record it in spoken form, probably without video.

Re: Fixed blade EDC
The guardian is very comfortable, I tried a model from Amazon. Is it possible to put it on the belt comfortably? I wear my Guardian(s) horizontally just left of my belt buckle, with the handle facing in toward midline (so that I can draw an resheath easily with my right hand). After trying a whole ...

Re: Fixed blade EDC
I own two Makos, one in M390 and one in Rex 121. It's pretty much a highly refined, evolved Enuff. The handle/blade ratio is (like the Enuff) quite a lot of handle per blade. I don't mind that at all, even though I was thinking I might. Having the relatively large handle makes the knife more comfort...

Re: Fixed blade EDC
I EDC a small fixed blade pretty much all the time. I like the Bradford Guardian 3 (I have that one in probably a dozen steel/shape variants), especially the wharnie. The handle might be cramped for some people though. I am currently rotating between my Chad Kelly Coop (my favorite for this role, bu...

Something along the lines of a Dragonfly or Chaparral in HIC would be _very_ cool.

Re: You got your Ceramic Mule. How you gonna sharpen it?
Diamond belts on the worksharp. That's been my strategy for sharpening the Rahven kitchen knives, and it's working on them.
