You got me, cause today is the 11th and it’s the first I’ve seen of it. Good one

I guess I still can’t post a pic in this thread, my new ride is the Taco’s cousin the 4Runner. But I’ll get on the hunt for a gen3 TRD with the manual transmission in a couple years when my girls start driving. Hopefully everyone wants the new gadgety gen4 and old gen3s will be cheap, right? Right.

The Sharpmaker is my No. 1 go to sharpener all reprofiling and routine sharpening, yes, even in K390. Pretty sure my cbn stones are worn out. Would like a set of cbn rods completely impregnated with abrasive over the coated steel shapes though, they’d last longer. At today’s MAP though I probably wo...

this has been my setup so far in 2024. Will be switching to the Stretch XL in a couple months. https://files.catbox.moe/1kg0ra.jpg Sharpmaker with medium & diamond rods (backpack) BT Headphones (chef coat) Chapstick (pockets) Nitecore TIP 2 & keys (pockets Leatherman Squirt PS4 (pockets) Le...

I’m pretty happy with something the size of a PM2, Endura, or Military. A choil-less PM2 would have more edge length in the same package. Part of carrying a pocket knife is how it fits in my pockets, and these sizes are pretty unobtrusive. A Shaman is bigger. I once had one of the bulky Kershaw/ZT d...

^^that’s awesome! Unfortunately our best look at birds comes with dead specimens. Glad the Merlin’s gonna be OK!

After 2.5 hours of trick or treating I cooked some lamb tacos with fresh homemade pico and pickled onions to finish off the night. Hit the spot! https://files.catbox.moe/6hb3n4.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/PxjZCcq0/20231031-204113.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/HnWy2yX2/20231031-204810.jpg https://i.postimg....

_This_ is what I’m talking about. Now, let’s see some sprints in K390, MagnaCut, etc. with micarta! I’ve really been enjoying my REX45 PM2 lately, more than cruwear. Yeah cruwear sharpens easy and wicked, but REX45 needs attention a lot less. Same with K390.

I’d be down for dayglow orange; no interest in red. I’m quite happy with bright yellow.

Oh man, good things happen when you step away for a bit!!!

Looks like we will only collect 4 chrysalis this seaso...

IF spyderco got into the disposable razor market, theyd probably wipe out harrys, dollar shave, and all those other useless companies. Im using defender razor right now on a subscription and theyre nice, but Id drop them in an instant for spyderco If people knew how easy and cost effective it is to...

I too was interested in something new… so BAM! Or should I say, TWANG!?

That does look like an epic chip out!

Can anyone guess if the Siren would be post CQI? I seem to recall the earlier version had a severe issue. I have the same question. The price isn’t worth catching a non-cqi with no warranty that can’t be returned. In other news I can finally get it! Tempted by an ARK, but they’re too expensive with...

I made more pickles tonight and remembered to take pics. I was comparing the PM2 against a Mora 2000. For the camp kitchen, the Mora is hard to beat. I made 2 jars of cukes and 2 jars of green beans and carrots. One of each are kicked up a notch with 4 peppers each! BANG! https://i.imgur.com/YNM538s...

For purely running without stopping to bushcraft up a Fred Flintstone car or defending yourself from the mongol hordes or pack of hyenas, a dragonfly salt would probably be perfect. Carving a Fred Flintstone car on a run is just silly, because then it wouldn't be a run, it would be a ride. But I do...

It was very time consuming when I reset the bevel on my Salt 2, and that was H1.

Thanks Vivi for these glimpses into kitchen knives! I’m definitely interested in a couple nice ones. We have Wusthof, but they’re not dull! They don’t hold an edge well, though to be fair are subject to typical family kitchen abuse. We have one Henckels, the big chef knife, that I only really use fo...
