Fixed blades

It was a good day. The weather was amazing for February, and I managed not to overcook the steaks despite not being familiar with the grill... I needed a day to wander around outside without a clear goal.

I will admit to being a bit disappointed that we didn't find a gigantic horde of gold coins though.

I was disappointed for you! Haha.

I'm still trying to learn the ins and outs of the thing (Christmas gift from my brother). The shotshell brass really had us excited, the detector read them as high value targets.

One of these days I'll get it figured out. 🤷‍♂️ It's fun anyway, and there's always the slim chance of finding something really cool.

Man, where to begin. Although people start threads here, the moment they hit the create button that thread becomes the community's thread. I'm just a guy who loves knives and fixed blades in particular. I love that a bunch of other guys (and gals) share this thread. You all make it worth checking almost every day. We got our own little spot for fixy's and I love it ( thank you Kevin for keeping this place running, it's a part of my life).

I don't mind and I don’t think anyone else will mind your post. Yes it's a knife forum but it's a community of humans, not robots, and we'll talk about all kinds of stuff. So long as we don't run a foul of the rules i think it's fair game to chat about most things.


I'm both sorry to hear and glad you've had the best friends you've had/have. I too have had a few decades of character building "trials" or just shit luck depending on how you look at it. I been on my own since 16 with not much in the way of family, at 20 i was coming home from a year deployment and i found myself on the other side of the country from where i was from with no one. So I jumped on Craigslist and found an ad for a free dog. I drove over there and there was 3 dogs, one, who was white and brown stood out to me. I picked her, and named her zula.

It was me and this dog as family. We had thanksgiving together, i made a turkey for us and we shared it. She was my best friend. Many drunk nights id leave the door open and shed sit on my bed and watch the door. I walked her drunk one night and hit my head on the stairs and woke up to her licking my face. She would love me and survive me (i was a hot mess and a wrecking ball) all through my 20's and into my 30's. When I had kids she took them in like they were her own.

2 years ago i had a family tragedy and some one important was taken from me. Not long after that, zula died. *uck. I'm still not over it. I buried her out back. Cried my eyes out. I'll never get another dog like her. They don't live long enough.

Not everyone bonds with their dog like we do, but understand exactly how you feel. Thanks for sharing brother. You can drop me a line if you ever wana shoot the breeze.

Here's one more of zula when she was younger

Bestest pet dog (non cowdog), we ever had is under this tree overlooking the flats.

She looked very similar to your Zula.

Thanks. I can't find a single thing I don't like about it.

There must be at least 1 thing that drives you nuts? Probably near insanity? Ah hell, I'll do you a solid and take it off your hands... thank me later.

Architect knives are the best price to performance production knives currently being made IMO. I plan on getting one of each and another 6.5 in Magnacut.
