They talked about how the process maintains a hardness of about 40 for most of the knife using mediocre steel, but 60 something for the edge so you get great edge retention but can otherwise hammer the knife. I was intrigued by the concept until I saw the end product. It was not aesthetically pleasing, whatever their numbers were. |

Solid rubber tire on a 966 with a waste-handling arrangement for a garbage transfer station. |

I always thought the Hinderer clip tab guys were a bit silly, but not gonna lie, I did feel like the CRK needed that spot filled. Not cheap. I get it. Even though it is small, lot of work goes into it. Charging shipping was a bit over the top when the whole package was under an ounce. But come on, it is their design. Make something that fills the clip hole. Dit of a disappointment honestly.  But i still like it as "something." Would have been better with a countersunk head. |

The thing I dislike about pocket carry is that the knife inevitably turns horizontal, and when I lean up against something or lie on my side, it digs in and gets annoying. It's nice not catching the clip on things, though. |

Been rocking the mini RSK inside my pocket in place of my Alox SAK. I'm liking it, but it's too light. Para 3 didn't even make it in the pocket. Just way too big for that roll. Did you buy the clip insert direct from CRK? I might grab that small Inkosi from Knife Joy. Wish they had that insert. I'd just add it to my order. Attached File |

Other places may carry it and even offer it for less, but it looks like there are a couple different types and the CRK website was clearest on which would work for me. Not to promote the Insingo blade, but it looks like DLT has a small inkosi Insingo. DLT may have the tab filler. Not sure why this one is cheaper. Perhaps this one is sandblasted and the other is glass blasted. You could do daisho. Appears they do have filler tabs too. |

That just seems half-assed, which is not what you expect from CRK. |

Schnitzel is good. The Doner is not as good as the Doner from the Doner shop, but also not as bad as the Doner from the Doner shop can be as well. This place is at least consistently decent. When we got there we had to park pretty far away because they were doing Oktoberfest on their outdoor grounds and they had soccer going on 3 of their 4 fields. But inside, there was only maybe a dozen tables being used. Which was fine by me. Less noise, faster service, no obnoxious drunks. By the time we left, inside was getting pretty full too and the live polka band was starting. Pulling out later, cops were hiding in the dark under the overpass immediately outside the Bierhaus grounds. I'm sure they will get a few. |

Attached File This replacement bucket handle I found on makerworld seems like a huge improvement over the little handles that come on buckets. I replaced this one because it had split but I might print some more just because it seems much nicer. I'll see how it holds up before I get too crazy though. The knife is one of my 4" belt knives in Pop's procut |
