Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By WIC: https://i.imgur.com/MtjS8OP.jpeg Biscuits and gravy is about the blandest food I can imagine besides the vile sludge known as grits. The only way I can eat biscuits and gravy in a hotel is with liberal application of cholula. Most hotels have bottles or packets of cholula but if not I keep a couple packets of tapatio and cholula in my carryon. |

The aluminum looks good on the tuff lite but at a likely 300%+ cost factor over the knife, personally I don’t think I would be an aluminum scale buyer if micarta is available. Cost would influence my decision but it’s mostly because I just really like micarta.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By DFARM: Nice! It looks really good. Did you use ferric chloride? I'm trying to get a blade in AEB-L to etch like that right now and I'm having a hell of a time with it. I'm thinking about trying a different acid. Do you use coolant with the g10? I remember listening to Rick Hinderer, iirc, talking about how that's the only way he'll work with g10 and maybe carbon fiber. It makes sense. Making handles is nasty. Yup, ferric chloride 1:4 distilled water |

Boss would usually order a bunch for us on Saturdays. The only catch was that you WILL be in the bathroom within the hour. Not shitting your brains out, but just a standard BM. We don't know why, but it happened to every one of us at around the same time everytime we had it.

It may be my brain misappropriating something but I read something a while back that Broccolis's sister or daughter were against the changes being made by the publisher saying something to the effect of trying to "erase" the past doesn't allow us to learn and appreciate where we've come from and how we've changed. |

Most hotels have bottles or packets of cholula but if not I keep a couple packets of tapatio and cholula in my carryon. Good B&G is good. It is hard to find. Like grits. This is a normal haunt for us, but couldn't remember if I had tried the B&G. Had the conversation with my wife that I wanted to play it safe and go with a dish I knew I liked, couldn't remember if I had done B&G at this place, normally I avoid it because it is so hard to find good B&G, but this is a good greasy spoon, so I went for it. Was not disappointed. Was not wow, but it was pretty good. Good grits might be even harder to find. |
