Explain!!!

(Might be another trip for my family! Lol)

New Haven style pizza is thin crust and several of the pizza places here routinely make the "best of" lists in the country. We have Pepe's, Sally's, Modern, etc. I'm partial to Modern's Italian Bomb as my favorite pizza, but I also go to Zuppardi's for their fresh clam pizza.

You can also stop by Louis' Lunch for a hamburger. The guy's grandfather invented the hamburger. Yes, the hamburger.

Random thought....


Is it odd I consider pizza a food group?

theres so many possibilities

pretzel crust green olive pineapple bbq chicken smoky chipotle Tobasco pizza with cheese curds covers all of the food groups so it's all encompassing.

THERE ARE NO WRONG ANSWERS

Well, yeah! I think that pizza and chocolate chocolate chip icecream are the only true food groups - well, and maybe an extremely good steak. Mike

Much appreciated Nathan!

Thanks for sharing...

I can't tell y'all how much I share these sentiments.

I'm not a wealthy guy. My ownership of really great knives comes with some sacrifice on my part. (*as with many of you, I imagine) If I find something I really want, I usually have to forego or sacrifice something else. Because of that, Nathan sharing the extra effort that he and his Crew go to, to make an amazing/robust tool, is awe-inspiring to say the least.


I've never hiked in the Andes, scaled "El Capitan", or had my helicopter downed in the Amazon. I have however had my hands buried in a 2' mudhole, nursing a water well or irrigation issue while the temps were dropping like a rock, and have wondered how fast I was gonna' be able to get a fire going to warm my body. For me, it was always those times that made me truly appreciate a few reliable, trustworthy, and damn-near-unbreakable tools.

Your mileage may vary.

I like the way you think...but somewhere there should be room for chocolate peanut butter as well. (And maybe pistachio almond.)

Now I need a beer and I just brushed my teeth.

The gangs moved-into our area pretty heavy about the time I got close to Middle School. My Parents didn't waste much time transferring me to Catholic school.

After that, I put-up with "the Penguins" on a daily basis.

Agreed! I'm working on my best sharpening method for it , so far 800 venev and 6 micron diamond paste followed by a quick 1 micron balsa strop has worked out great

I will say I like the way it sharpens

A meetup is definitely in order. Save some room for Ford's Lobster. Their Lobster Bomb is a lobster roll on steroids. Tons of lobster meat in a bread bowl... topped with lobster bisque.

One of the great things about having foodie friends is that they know good places to eat! We heard that the best place to get a lobster roll was from Ford’s in CT. Since we were planning to go though CT during our road trip, we decided to stop by and actually explore CT too. […]

I have an obsession with really large "hard-use" blades, and really small fixies. There was a time when I thought I'd stab myself in the ears if I heard "MagnaCut" another time. However, I have a few small MC blades because that's what a particular Manufacturer offered in a particular design. (*I didn't seek-out that particular steel) Honestly, after a few months of carrying/using them, those MagnaCut knives have really endeared themselves to me.



*Buck's 420HC is my benchmark for a "stainless" knife. A little hot water will usually release anything that is stuck on a 420HC blade, in my experience. MagnaCut doesn't seem to be quite as "slippery" as the 420HC Buck stuff, but does come quite close.

**Admittedly, I'm not much of a "steel snob". Hell, 420HC, 1095, 5160, 8670, and 3V are still some of my favorites.

I certainly think that we can make the necessary accommodations . Mike

I'm with the " evil genius " on this one . I use my knives. While I'm hard on them , I work with guys who are brutal knuckle dragging cavemen . I prefer delta 3V . I could kick myself for not going for a edc with a 3inch blade . Working on a federal " reservation " I'm limited to a 3 inch knife . I only have 2 CPK and I'm impressed. Best knives I have . I have a cpm 3v ( different maker )with peters delta heat treat . It seems different. Can't explain it , but my SDFK is sticky sharp . It strops a edge better than any knife I got . With some , I roll a tiny convex with too much stropping but not this steel . I was pulling tracing paper thru hold the knife steady. And yeah i lightly honed on a spyderco ultrafine . I'm late to this party but I'll be setting aside money . I really, really want a k20. Maybe the hollow ground dek 3 in magnacut for slicing . It's like discovering your favorite brand of potato chips . I can never eat just one .

 

[PolRoger]

So is Magnacut looking like a better option over 3V for the EDC3.5?

EDC 4V...

3V is the "sweet spot" for me...damn-near stainless and tough & unapologetic as a Cummins Turbo Diesel.

I left one of my Barky 3Vs (*over night) at the woodpile the other day, through a rainstorm, after beating on it like a redheaded stepchild. When I drove it home, it appeared to have a bit of "pitting" on it...but a little "Brasso" brought it right back to "shiny" and clean.


3V and Delta 3V might be my new favorite steels.
