The more I drink of Buffalo Trace products, they are good, even very good, for their intended price point.
If you can't get them at their intended price point or slightly above, not worth it. Too many other good options. That is to say, I agree with you. I paid too much for my first bottle of Wellers. It was good, but not worth what I paid. I do like the Jefferson's Ocean (not a fan of regular Jeffersons), but again, for the price point, I feel like there is better value out there. More novelty with that one. I like the Jefferson's Ocean wheated...I should drink some of that next to the Woodford Reserve Wheated now that I have it, see if the JO still holds up against the WR that costs less than half as much. |

After binging on ZT it was pretty easy to pick out a few keepers and let the rest go. It's going to be harder to do that with the Emersons. It's like Survivor but with knives. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By 1776-1865_RIP: Anyone make a G10 or equivalent, M4 bladed, axis lock knife other than Benchmade? An interesting question...very specific. Simple answer, only aware of the Spyderco Manix being offered in M4 with G10 and Axis style lock. And those are sprints/exclusives. Perhaps only from that certain knife seller, who shall not be named here, that opens their doors to people stealing customer financial information. More complicated answer, why M4? M4 is fine, but rusts fairly easily. One of the big benefits of M4 is the toughness, but anything folder size, is it really necessary? Most would say no. S45VN, Elmax and a number of others have similar edge retention and less toughness than M4 but still a healthy amount in a stainless steel. Both would be much easier to find, S45VN in particular on a folding knife these days. You might also find 4V or another similar tool steel in a sprint run that would have similar characteristics. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By rbb2: The only El Camino I specifically recall is one that belonged to an old farmer from the little town (pop. ~700) where I grew up. Every summer he'd fill the bed with sweet corn most every day and park it on main street. Help yourself. He eventually stopped, because shitheads started loading up their trunks/truck beds and parking out on the highway selling it to passers-by. Assholes. Only takes a couple of jerks to ruin it for everyone. Sounds like a cool dude living the El Camino life though. I want to be there. |

It's spent two weeks on landscaping duty. 2 full loads of topsoil, and then grass clippings. Just got the last of those emptied out last night. And the right mirror is currently being held in the cowl (or whatever you call it) by blue tape wrapped around the whole assembly. I learned that a bed full of good quality blended topsoil is probably too much for a half ton pickup. Didn't stop me from doing it again though. |

Had a morning coffee meeting with one of the other members of a nonprofit board and the vent hole on my coffee lid was not venting so I pulled my knife out to ream it out a bit. The other guy said he'd been getting into knives the last couple of months and really liked my knife, is it a Civivi? Um, no, it's not.
