Lol, glad to know I’m not alone. My kids keep telling me cargos are out of style and my wife thinks they’re “sloppy”. I’ve been trying to dress a little nicer lately but cargos and long-sleeve tees will always be my go-to for maximum comfort and functionality.

Screw style. I am who I am. At this stage of the game I’d stop wearing shoes if I thought I could get away with it. I tried doing away with underwear, but that turned out to be an exercise in bad decision making on several different levels.
TMI, dude, TMI. 😒
 
Any tips on how to sharpen a scalloped edge like that? Other than painfully slow and carefully with a hone, I’ve yet to find a way that gets good results.
The corners of of the triangle hones on my sharp maker at 15° and a slight 20° micro-bevel work just fine on my scalloped kitchen knives. The bread knife needs only a very occasional and light touch-up to the micro. Just draw the knife through slowly for best results.
 
We have our son and his GF here from RI this weekend along with their miniature dachshund and it's nice for us to see those two. For our oversized Siberian cat and their dog, well not so much. K & M have gone out quite a bit while here, catching up with friends and other family as they both grew up on Cape and we've looked after their pooch, causing the cat to be locked in our BR so he wouldn't open the smaller dog up. Things were better this evening with all of us here together and the cat had by then learned to sequester himself on the stairs or on top of one of the tall LR cabinets in order to avoid further confinement.

Knifewise I went with another BMK today, pocketing the 551-1 heading over to the wood shop for a bit in the afternoon to search for hardware and figure out the bores for mounting the the awning brackets I'll install next week.

When the Griptilian -1 series first came out, I very much liked their G10 scales and the more advanced steel selection but was not initially taken with the whole gray over blue color scheme. I did buy my wife a 550-1 and came to like it more and more as she carried and used it. When I gifted my 551-1701 to a buddy, I filled that void with this one, even following the color way with the lanyard and bead.
