we topped out at 63 today officially - may hit 70 tomorrow.
less than a week ago we bottomed out at -18 at my house not counting wind chill.
That's is a huge temp swing. Is that typical? We're getting a bit of a warm spell over the next few days. Temps will be above freezing which means lots of melting snow and possibly flooding. Been a crazy winter.
Congrats on the Hogue ! So far Iโm really liking the Hogue Ritter seems very well made. Smooth and solidI got my first axis lock type knife today. Hogue ex03. Knife feels great in the hand, though its blade heavy due to the light handle and thick blade. I cant wait to put it to more use. Im so accustomed to liner and frame locks that this lock feels a little awkward to me to boot.
edit: i had thought this lock had the same internals as the able lock just actuated differently, but thats not the case. This has a plunge lock. Very cool knife regardless.
Can I order some of that snow fall from Texas? I don't look forward to spring & summer. Been desert weather lately, tee shirts by day, wool by night.
I was using that bk5 tonight for dinner and that knife sure is piece of art. Makes me think of it as perfect knife that hearkens back to a more feudal era. Like the seax that was a knife that everyone carried which was essential to carry out their tasks. Not used so much for processing wood, but a tool that someone had on them at all times. The bk5 feels like a knife that would excel at such a role.
The shape of the 5 is amazing. Incredibly useful and efficient. Do you have a 15?
Sadly, no. I was too late to the game to be able to pick one up. I can only imagine its ability to slice. I try to keep an eye out for one priced reasonably but its either priced absurd or its just at a bad time.
