Knives and Coffee

Happy International Coffee Day!

Two coffees I made today, a cappuccino Australian style (with chocolate powder on the foam) and the Aussie classic, the flat white. And since I wasn't carrying a knife today, here's my work's kitchen knife.

Keeping it simple today. Simple coffee, simple knife.
It's my new Kershaw Thermite, just got it today. So far it seems pretty decent for such an affordable knife. Solid flipping action, has a low carry clip, comfortable handle (although a bit on the long side). The only issue I found with it is that the bevels near the tip are somewhat uneven, but that's fixable.
 
Second pot of a Kenya AA Nyeri Tambaya I roasted last night. It's good, but it'll be even better tomorrow. :thumbup:



A pair of Kershaw JunkYard Dogs; the coveted Ti/SG2 model and the first composite bladed model with CPM D2 cutting edge. :D Oldies but goodies! :cool:
 
Just got this one today. ZT "Built Like A Tank" put in the pic for a size reference.
Thanks John!
I'll get these beans ground later and get post up some more pictures and impressions. :)

Afternoon cappucino. Sweet Maria's Ethiopiques espresso blend, roasted Wednesday evening.



A minor grail of mine which just arrived today, the legendary Busse "Leprechaun" Active Duty (discontinued green linen micarta handle scales) :cool: :thumbup:
 
Milt, nice Dpx! What are those delicious looking Twinkie things?

They are called Surullitos . It's a PuretoRican food made from corn meal . I fill them with mozzarella cheese and then fried them . Growing up my father made them for us now my kids ask me to make them they love them . Quick link on how to make them . It does take time to master the shaping of them my daughter is getting good at it .

Couple from today. More Sweet Maria's Ethiopiques. Today is THE day for this roast!!! Here's a pic of my first shot from this morning. Sweet liquid gold from heaven!!! :D



Knife content!



My Benchmade 943. Other than a short trip to the spa to get Omega springs replaced, I've carried this knife daily since I got it, over 10 years ago. :eek: :cool: It's been through hell and back; I even melted about 1/8" off of the tip about 6 months ago cutting a Li-ion battery off of a r/c plane that was shorting out. Ooops! :o I re-ground and all is well again.

More liquid gold goodness. Earlier in the shot this time (just as it started).



And the resulting cappucino (or probably more appropriately called a flat white in this case).
