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:

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By MaxxII: We were about to pull the trigger on a Blackstone, then they came out with the Combo griddle/pellet smoker available at Lowes. https://www.lowes.com/pd/Blackstone-Blackstone-Culinary-Pellet-Griddle-Combo/5012925771 It looked neat and would cover the bases I was after....but the reviews are not great with it, so we passed. I went back to researching and have pretty much settled on going with a MasterBuilt 800 Gravity Grill with some LSS Mods, (Wisconsin). It has a griddle included, can hit 700f for searing, can grill, and smoke if desired, so really is just one piece of equipment that does everything. Complaints seem to be that the electric brain can be wonky, and that the app itself can be problematic. Additional complaints are that the design allows grease flair ups/fires pretty easily. Extended warranty from Home Depot and the LSS Mods fix most of those issues. I've gotten right about 10 years out of every grill I've had so I figure with the LSS Mods we should get 10 years out the MasterBuilt. I have not had a charcoal grill since we moved into our house. Bought a gas grill because it was faster to get going and could handle more food for entertaining. Now that we dont entertain hordes of people like we used to before the kids, a giant grill isnt really needed. I dont have alot of experience smoking meats, and so far it's just the wife and I that like smoked foods. Kids are pretty meh overall, but do like the smoked salmon and my nephew's smoked chicken wings, so I believe they could be converted if things were properly prepared. I was looking a pellet grill, but I also do not want 87 different pieces of equipment taking up space on my deck, so the whole Griddle/Smoker/Grill thing really appeals to me. We'll see... Wisconsin is pretty awesome... |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By MaxxII: Blackstone does make really good stuff. My neighbor has one of the early models and it just goes. He has been able to make some impressive meals with just it and a propane smoker. I dont think you'll be disappointed. Mrs WIC might be disappointed the FD doesnt get called out to your house as much now though... She wanted egg rolls tonight. She is already disappointed. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Toker_: I have the overpriced Weber version of the Blackstone and it's been awesome. Target usually has a clearance at the end of the season, so I was able to get it for 50% off. It was seasoned from the factory, but I did a few seasoning sessions with Avocado oil and it's been non-stick. at least it is US made. I didn't even know they made a griddle. I thought they just made griddle inserts. The Blackstone obviously was not researched, I was told to buy it. |

Brief size comparison between the Rask and the Stellar. Similar length, but the Rask is noticeably thinner and quite a bit lighter, but it does have a slightly smaller blade.
The stellar comes in at 4.3oz and the Rask at 3.1oz (by my scale).

I might be a little too excited about this, but I actually made a fudging pocket knife!
 Attached File Attached FileTldr: it's not my design, I used a pattern from Chris Crawford's website. I believe it was designed by Jean-François Moretti. It's called the arrondi. Blade and spring are 1084 with the blade hardened to ~60 hrc. The scales are carbon fiber and the pins are 304(I think) stainless steel. |
