I think a lot of guys nerd out on that kind of stuff. I know I do. Since it takes me 2-3 months on average to get a knife from drawing to completion, I'd need to have the knife mostly finished before starting the thread so that people don't lose interest while waiting on me to update the next step. It would be fun for sure and maybe it would inspire other people to make a knife or two. The three people who follow my thread don't seem to mind spotty updates. Lol Originally Posted By WIC: Interesting that the ApexUltra costs that much more. Paying for a name? I would think as a low alloy steel, it should be cheaper. Maybe a bit more expensive for low production quantity, but 4 times as much? Did they slide some vanadium or unobtanium in there? I imagine that it's confluence of niche market and "new hotness", as I imagine that it's really only knife makers buying it. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By conndcj: Jeez. Beautiful Shiro. Kinda glad my new knife isn't here yet. That crushes it.  Don’t feel too bad. I posted my new knife yesterday and not a single person commented on it. No matter, sending that hunk of spyderco shit back to the retailer. I’m getting tired of buying spyderco new releases and finding issue after issue with them. The spyderco knob gobblers won’t admit the quality is much poorer today than yesterday and they defend the honor of the founder who has stepped away from the work. Spyderco is a shell of what it was. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By SecretSquirell: I love me some Popeye's, but there's only one around here and the service is horrible (even by IL standards). We've never spent less than 20 minutes in the drive-thru, even when we're the only car in line. Last time we went there the entire menu outside didn't have anything in it. Luckily, we knew what we wanted. Had to go inside once to correct an order and I swear the place was on fire, and the cashier and a customer were about to throw hands. I was coming back from some training and stopped at one in a truck stop south of us about an hour. It was filled with smoke too. Service was fast though. I was traveling and stopped at a Del Taco. Always a solid fast food choice that eclipses Taco Bell. Jumped in the drive through. Waited 30ish minutes with only 4 or 5 cars in front of me. By the time I ordered on the speaker, the lady told me that their location doesn’t do the taco Tuesday or taco Thursday. It was Thursday and I was wanting 3 grilled chicken tacos for $1.69. Of course now there was 4 or 5 cars behind me so now I was stuck. |
