I like the knife any inforrmation about it? The mug and coaster look like they are set with the same colors.

Thank you.
Bought the knife in Laguiole, France around 12yrs age when on a Harley tour.
Blade is Sandvik, handle is African Buffalo Boss (not the horn itself).
Don’t think there are many Londie knives around, though believe they’re still made.

It doesn't matter if it's my morning coffee, or my evening green tea, it goes in this mug.

Thanks. Is Londie the style of knife or area where they are made? Or is it the cutlery company that made it? Thanks for sharing.

Excuse my ignorance, I assume Yetis are very good at keeping things hot and cold.

Yeah, they do pretty good. I usually have two cups of coffee in the morning, but it can take me until 11 AM to finish the second, because I have to be doing things other than just sitting & drinking coffee. And I don't like cold coffee, so I use the Yeti.

In the evening, I relax while reading & it can take me an hour or two to drink my tea. And again, I don't like my tea cold.

I posted this in the toting thread the other day. My favorite mug. My youngest daughter bought we it for me 5 or 6 years ago for Christmas. She 16 now. I’ve been using it every morning since.View attachment 2324631

I was afraid I wouldn't see coffee. There it is.

A slipjoint by me, a cup of coffee and a morning to work on more slipjoints.
A good morning it is.

Ironbut is a Yeti mug fan also I see! I sip
from this one all day long. Alongside my late-70's 2-dot Buck 110...

Another poster asked about Yeti mugs. I know no other maker who's able to keep things hot or cold as well as Yeti products. I swear by them. My thermos, insulated mugs, etc are all Yeti anymore.

I like Ozark Trails, just as insulating as Yeti, but at a third the cost.

Years ago, my kids bought me a 20oz Yeti tumbler for Christmas. I still use it, because it fits in the cup holder in my truck & the car. A few years ago, my wife bought an Ozark Trail the same size at Walmart, and while I never actually did a true comparison, it seems to keep things about as hot as the Yeti. The lids are even interchangeable.

Thank you for the Tip, I'll check them out. I'm always open to what options are out there. Keeping things HOT or cold is always a priority.
