Campout Porter won out. A great beer w/ a great knife added by family equals a perfect day.

The heat is so bad today, I had to break out my frosty Yeti cup from the freezer. Back to my old and faithful Camillus C4 tonight, while I grill steaks and do some home repairs.

Just enjoying some iced cold brew coffee this evening after the heat of the day has subsided a little.

You guys are making me thirsty! Cool little FB Dan

Thanks, Jack. I just picked it up recently off the Exchange. Here it is with some hot coffee.


It's a challenge to get the depth of color to show in pictures. Here's the other side.

Spent a good part of the day out working in the yard. A nice cold Pilsner hit the spot. Shared it with my Halfrich Rounder. Well not really. The Rounder got to watch me drink it.

Living the good life today. A Camillus C4, chilled Ommegang Nirvana, a smoking Weber grill, and a particularly barky little dachshund.

Fantastic brews—beer and coffee alike—and blades gentlemen. It's too late in the evening for me to be enjoying coffee, but I think I'm going to have to look up how to make my own cold brew for the weekend, though.

In the mean time, it's a Craftsman 9494 and a Stone seasonal IPA for me:

Edit: I looked up a recipe and got a batch started. Cold brew coffee will be enjoyed tomorrow morning.

I commend you for your choice in knife and beer!!!

Here's some info about it from the Coffee thread in the Community Center subforum, Greg. http://www.bladeforums.com/threads/coffee.1129121/page-92
There's a couple pics of my inexpensive cold brew maker on page 93. I usually let mine go for closer to 24 hours, but you can play around with the brew time and how much you dilute the concentrate depending on your personal preference.

I like that Craftsman also. It's a Camillus 72 pattern, right? I have one of the BSA versions and it is a sentimental favorite because it was the first knife I bought with my own money as a teenager.

Thanks Buzz. I think we share an appreciation of both IPAs and old, well-executed delrin.

Thanks for the coffee info, Dan. I'll definitely be taking a look. I hadn't realized there was a coffee thread.

Regarding the Craftsman, good eyes! It's either Schrade or Ulster's take on the Camillus 72 pattern. I've read different accounts of who made them, perhaps they both did at different times.

Here's a side-by-side comparison with my BSA version of the Camillus 72:

If you're curious about the history of the pattern and its variations, I highly recommend this post. Lots of great info there.

Grilling in the rain tonight, with my D2 Queen #99.

Very nice, Kris and Buzz!

This evening I'm enjoying a new-to-me porter from Heretic while relaxing in the backyard with a whittling project.

The obligatory rough graveyard it's my weekend morning beer, and it was a good one!!
