Ok, quick bench top review.
TLDR: I'd say pass unless you can check it out out of the package somehow to make sure yours isn't bent.  Attached FileBlade is bent, I'm going to try to bend it straight. The corners on the spine near the handle has had the corners knocked off, ever so slightly. From the middle of the "Dexter" out the spine is sharp, like it catches a fingernail sharp.  Attached FileThis little hump at the front of the handle digs into the index finger joint when you hold it in a pinch grip. The handle is shaped like they want you to hold it like Michael Myers. Here's a picture of the ".. individually ground and honed to the ultimate edge."  Attached File |

For the record, he may be further north, but the gulf stream (lake effect keeps it warmer than other parts of Wisconsin, fucking monkey), and with it warmer climes, pass through his area. If he was in Winnipeg, he would not be grilling in November. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By rbb2: LOL. That was a favorite as a kid. Haven't had it in years, decades probably. Trying to eat healthy and get back in shape so not going to happen now. I don't like to starve myself, so I try to lose weight by exercise and eating quality food. Cinnamon Toast Crunch is not that. That's why I've pretty much cut out the alcohol as well. Empty calories. I'm not going to bust my ass to burn 600 calories on the elliptical just to undo the work with a few beers. On "vacation" for a few days now so I'm indulging a bit, hence the NoDak beer. Which is just OK. Darn kids rushing me in the cooler. Are you giving up the calling? |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By knoxtnshooter: I just discovered OGD this last summer and it's my favorite budget bourbon. I've seen speculation that it'll eventually be tough to find but I don't know what that's based on. For now I'm just trying to grab a bottle whenever I'm in the store and just forget I have them. The BiB and 114 are solid options. Despite being from Beam. 114 was harder to find earlier this year because some trend setter wrote a positive review shortly before they had a bottle shortage, and then they couldn’t get trick drivers. It is back on stock most everywhere I go now. |

Sargento is Wisconsin Oscar Meyer and Kraft used to be largely produced in Wisconsin, not so sure anymore. They shut down some plants here. The rest of that stuff, no idea. Frankly, it is all rather suspect. Schweigert is Minneapolis. It is owned by a company in LaCrosse but it is in MN. No idea if it is still made there. I like your spirit though. |

Pretty sure you did a little pictorial story of the basic setup and talked about the general process of rough cuts, drill bit types, and refining. Not a full tutorial, but enough to get someone going. Could be misremembering, no reason to lie about this. You’ve got all the talent and looks, don’t be bitter. |
