Beverages and Blades - Traditional of Course

[Pàdruig]

An amazing assortment of bevs and blades, folks.

Another in the kitchen alchemy series:

Soda of homemade grapefruit shrub, selzter water, and squeeze of kumquat. The latter was mostly to give the TC an active role, but it added a nice touch.

That sounds amazing!

I was in an IPA mood this evening, I have a bit of a lineup to tackle...

Nice work if you can get it Dylan!

I had this refreshing Japanese Wit-Bier while sorting out some of the accumulated kipple on my kitchen table



T'WIT, T'woo!

Colourful beer in a colourful can! From Drygate of Glasgow. Found it hard not to guzzle

OOPS! What I posted here originally was supposed to go in the books and blades thread; sorry about that! Here's an old photo of the brand of beer I drank last night along with my favorite lambsfoot. Hey, the knife has rosewood covers, so it's a relevant choice for Wooden Wednesday, too!

christusvictor , I recognize the book and I'm fairly familiar with mugs quite similar to the one you posted , but what is that little knife? Is that an Old Timer shield? Do I see scissors in the blade well?

Here's a slender little Colonial jack (thanks, Mark):

The knife is a old Schrade 106OT with scissors and pen blade. There shield says Greenwing, there is Ducks Unlimited etching on the blade. I had been hunting this one for a while, and just grabbed it a couple of weeks ago.

How is that beer? The pioneer bone looks great! How do you like the 43?

The beer is ok, better now that it has warmed up some. It had a very strong gin flavor when it was cold. I love a good strong gin and tonic, but that was too much of a not so good gin flavor.

I love the 43. It’s been a daily cary since I got it. It’s starting to get a good patina on it and that’s just what the frontier bone is begging for.

How is the IPA? I do like a good mosaic.

What do you think of the cocobolo 43? I’m tempted to pick one up as a new daily once my frontier gets the patina I want and then pair it with my BK22 for camp knives.

The wife had me open her some wine. I think this may go good with some Blue Bell homemade vanilla.

Mikkeller makes some amazing beer and this is one of them. They are based out of San Diego. It's not super hoppy, and a lil more "juicy." I really like it.

I'm gonna use my micarta as a user/beater and my Cocobolo will be "dress-up" knife. But eventually all my keeper knives get used. I really like this model!
