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  ___________________________________________________ OTTOMH Easily available: ZT Semi-available (regular drops but will sell out): CRK Hinderer Koenig Then you get to midtech stuff that's much harder to snag, and there are too many to really list but guys like Les George Jonathan McNees Brad Southard Demko Of course there's the full production stuff: Spyderco Hogue Kershaw Microtech Protech Medford Olamic Emerson Spartan |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By MaxxII: https://i.imgur.com/hA9BlGi.jpg?1 Work has been busy lately and the weather is at the fun part where it rains alot, and typically only on my days off... But I managed to put together a gazebo the wife wanted. In my typical retard fashion, I wound up having to complete this in the dark, quietly using hand tools only so as not to disturb the neighbors on the only day where there is no rain and I have off. Climbing on a damp and slick composite railing in the dark, about 15 feet off the ground to put roof panels onto a gazebo at 4 am isn't the dumbest thing I've ever done...which upon reflection speaks to all the dumb shit I've done in my life. OSHA would not have been amused. This should have been my submission for "Wharncliffe Wednesday" but can work as "Flipper Friday". I see a couple issues without even reading your description... |

I posted in here like a month ago crying about losing my para 3 while clearing brush. Today my brother and I cut up some downed trees in the same area we had been clearing about a month ago and he found it in the mud.
Its just a pocket knife but I have had a smile on my face all day, I carried this thing everyday for 2+ years before I lost it. Any tips on what I should do to it since its been outside for a month? I took an old tooth brush and some dawn dish soap and scrubbed all the mud off, only rust I found was in two tiny places on the pocket clip where I had worn the finish off previously and it was just bare metal. I have never taken it apart before I guess I should to check for rust and debris? What about some kind of oil? Any guidance is appreciated.   Attached File |

Just take it apart and clean it up, then put it back together. I don't think those have washers so probably don't even need oiled but a drop of gun oil or similar wouldn't hurt anything.

Almost made shoe leather..good thing I caught it half way thru cooking! Nice! Temp chart is too high on all counts. Well done?! Why waste the filet on them, then? Might as well cook up some round steak at that point. Still, sounds like a great afternoon, other than the ruination of several pounds of good steak.

Super convenient, I'd call when I left work and they'd be ready when I got there. The place smelled like a toilet and they never paid their taxes, but the burgers never failed. Unfortunately, they boarded up and I don't think anyone has looked at reopening it. They started out pretty cheap. We could get 2 burgers and fries for ~$10. Before they closed up it was ~$22. |
