South Park was so damn funny last night

I think Casa Bonita opens this May. It should be fun.

That’s what they’re saying around here. A work-related contact went to school with Trey or Matt (I forget which), and it sounds like they’re really putting in the time/effort/money to make the place MUCH more than it ever was! I might actually have to go check it out. I think I was ~12 last time I went…

I still remember how great the sopapillas were from that place!
Glad to see it coming back.

What's the deal with carbon fiber laminated blades? Just looks ?

What's the deal with carbon fiber laminated blades? Just looks ?

For me, that’s certainly part of the draw. It’s got a unique and interesting aesthetic. It also offers a significant weight reduction. With that comes a pretty serious loss in strength. Failure mode is predominantly torsional, and depending upon how it’s laminated, can fail pretty spectacularly when done wrong. Not something that I’d suggest falls into ‘hard use’ category, for sure.

This weighs in at 5-1/4 ounces. Not bad for a 5” blade with a full sized handle.

Has anyone filed a "Missing" report on the Search Function yet?

A couple people in tech have. Spark is on the case.

Spark is aware and it will require some work...meaning downtime most likely...to restore.

Pantera....man, that's a band I miss

Might not have been intended as a Pantera reference, but it hit me with a wave of nostalgia.

Yes it was, I know Eric is a huge fan. That song was playing on the way to the gym.

Thank you! I did remember some of your work when I posted this.

Did this during the sale today..

 

[SwarthyGnome]

Paul (@CPE_Knives) made this one. 7" AEB-L blade, 0.25" stock, bogoak handle. 7oz total.

Similar length as this one, such a contrast (SOD is 15.6 oz, S7)

Thank you. While I wait for Pre order fulfillment, or new sales/ models from CPK, I get ansty and want to buy other knives. :/
