H Honest_Thomas Nice candidate that. I have the same excuse re. birthday ;) but poverty stricken after new incomers :eek: plus I don't allow non knife friends to give me knives...you never know what their good intentions might come up with....🤣

Won't take part in this thread myself as I'm happy with the balance between users and 'exhibits' in my hoard, but look forward to others' contributions :)
 
Going to make this month a multi layered experience:

Every time I try to carry a large trapper I find I just don't like them. And yet I keep buying them. So I'm going to force myself this month to carry it each day until I make a final decision on the pattern.

Looking forward to seeing how this turns out. It is a very good idea. Now if you decide if you really don't like the pattern (assuming that you make it for 30 days)...........then what ? 🤔
No more trappers ? 🤣
Keep us posted ! 🐸

That’s a Beauty! I’ll be looking forward to seeing how this turns out for you. Lance
 
Aw hell, I'm gonna be carrying this one all month (and probably well beyond) anyway... She got a couple days of carry before today but we'll just call that limbering up. 😂

We cut some brie cheese and helped redefine the sections of a fried plantain sushi roll. 🧀 🍌 🍣

Are you just mixing random words or were those four supposed to be together like that?? 😁

Nice knife too!

Edit:hmmm..... fried plantain sushi is a thing. That's different. Guess I'm going to have to try that. Plantains aren't all that common here but it shouldn't be that hard to find some.

In Miami, Plantains are one of the staple foods, but mostly only abuelitas (little grandmothers) make them from scratch. Most everybody I know buys the frozen ones from Goya and calls it good - allow me to reiterate, defrosting Goya's Sweet Plantains is very traditional - definitely not considered cheating, at least not in the circles I run in. By the way, I'm referring to "platanos maduros" (sweet) as what is being used in the sushi, as opposed to "tostones" (savory) - although, there's certainly no reason those couldn't be used as well for a different kind of experience.

Nice. Always happy to give something new a shot.

34 tag along for a ride around the local pond, well really my daughter rode and I walked. She had to stop at every person fishing to ask if they'd caught anything yet. And also has to stop at every memorial bench to find out what they say.

Sliced an orange with it earlier and then sliced a breakfast sandwich in half, nearly sliced my hand open with it. I momentarily forgot I had a straight edge so the tip was not where my brain thought it should be. 🤣
