  • Today marks the 24th anniversary of 9/11. I pray that this nation does not forget the loss of lives from this horrible event. Yesterday conservative commentator Charlie Kirk was murdered, and I worry about what is to come. Please love one another and your family in these trying times - Spark

v1: hammered by my hand - that sucked a LOT
v2: upsetting and drawing done by sledge with friends helping, cut the excess off after all the drawing is done - still a LOT of work
v3: cut the spring to width, then go to a buddy's house where he has a rolling mill. 45 min later my 24" long x 7/16" thick bar is 45" long by 3/16"...

The steroids pack the doctor prescribed is giving me some pain relief to get through the work week . I get to 7:00 AM tomorrow then I am off until Tuesday at 9:00 PM. Hopefully I will be able to go run some rounds through my new to me Glock

I was in the kitchen cutting a few small cubes of cheese to eat and take some medicine. I was using my BK-10. My wife said you know that we have kitchen knives 😆 I responded this is my kitchen knife.

90% of my knife work in the kitchen is with my BK-10 or a 12 inch Tramontina machete

I mean... she knew you were a barbarian when she married you, right? :D
 
My 2 most used knives are a carbon steel Chicago cutlery 4" chef and my Becker/Esee 5" santoku
 
Plain taste in a regular use 62 gets me to the table. Before, it may have been the 15. I may rotate the 16 through my routine at some point, because.
