What Did You Cut with Your Buck (Yesterday or Today)?

Mike Kerins said:
Goose,
I've discovered that there are two types of adobo, wet and dry. The "wet" kind has the sauce. The "dry" kind is marinated but without the sauce and is simply fried. My wife makes both and I've developed a fondness for the "dry" adobo. However, several of her friends make the other kind so I get to have both on a regular basis. ;) The good thing about adobo....you don't have to worry about cutting it, just spear it with a good pointed 110. (How's that for staying on topic?) :thumbup: :D

Good topic save Mike!!!! ;)
I'll add to the save...
I love Filipino chow!

Here's a pic of lunch, which just happened to be pollo adobo and rice with patis and sambal oelek chili sauce (Malaysian).

And you're right, no need to really cut it. Very tender. But I used the 889 to make quick work of all the meat on the bones. While I may eat some scarey looking stuff...I can proudly say no off-shore knife has recently cut my chow and I won't eat snails.
I love that 889SBMF

I will have to look for a dry adobo recipe (if ya got one, send it please). Lived over there two years and never heard of it. Guess it's lile KC versus Memphis barbeque.

Could be a regional or provincial difference too. Cooking from the Manila metro area may not be the same as in Batangas or Pangisanan or in Baguio or in Makati. I learn stuff from my Filipino "cousins" online and elsewhere that my dad has never heard of (our family is mostly from Pampanga), mostly when they're from a different province.
 
I lived in Zambales in that God fearing town of Olongapo from abouit 1969-71. Had friends in Pampanga (HUKville).
Wish I had done a better job of keeping in touch. Great peeps...nothing but heart Rhino.
 
Today I did the Miracle Whip thing with my 110 Christmas Tin knife.
I cut some 1/2" rope for a tag line,and I almost stabb the key board when
I got out bid on a buck 121 on that Bay thing.Somebody please drink a beer for me.:mad: Sorry Goose no Photo's.
Jeff
 
Hang in on the 121's Jeff...Someone will let go one of these days. Not Me obviously...lol
I will hold off getting another one or two till you are able to grab one.

But on topic, what did I cut with a Buck today.....

I caught a wild hare and decided to dump all of my knives of this certain brand. So have been using what ever Buck was laying closest to cut tape and cardboard to modify or manufacture boxes to ship them in.

Ok,,,the hare is really a possum. Guess I better go use a 121 to get it skint and frozen up to send over to our buddy there in Deep NE Texas.... I know them boys know how to cook em up... Second one of those suckers I have trapped in a week. Where there are a couple, there are probably 50 in hiding.

Goose, Rhino
My wife is from the Visayas, specifically, Davao City on the Island of Mindinao. I think you're right when you mention it as a regional difference. We'll be going over there later this year and dropping off a gaggle of Buck knives to all my male Filipino relatives...three 110's, a 112 and perhaps a 119 for my brother in law that runs a copra plantation.
Mike

PS Goose, my wife says she's going to make some pork adobo later this week and take a picture for you. :D As for the recipe....cut up some small chunks of pork with a 121 and marinate in the old soy sauce and then start frying it until its well done. :thumbup:

I don't know many people from the south!

Hey, is it safe for a big white guy to go to Mindinao? My sister and her husband (a big white guy who is a brit/new zealander) were going to visit the PI not long after 9/11, but we decided it wouldn't be a good idea even if they avoided the areas more prone to kidnapping problems. My dad went without them, but since he was bron there, he can blend into the population and he speaks several dialects, so he was less "obviously American."

---------

In Bucking news . . . just mail opening duties with the ol' BG-42-fortified Buck 110 lately. That and I sliced some tape holding cardboard tubes onto a new nylon briefcase/portfolio that I got at STAPLES over the weekend (Regularly $19.98, but I got it for $3.98 after the instant savings plus the rebate I have on the way ;)
).
 
Larry...

Deep fried possum,:eek: with green beans and tater's. Cut up
with a Buck 121 .Man! It don't get no better than that.
Hawkeye:D

When I lived there, in the last century, even then it was considered risky by some to head south. Mike is a tough looking guy and street smart...I think he'll be ok. As for me...I am a sheeple.


Often I have said that the PI is the most beautiful place I have ever seen. Peeps and land are maganda po. I would live there if the government and population was more politically stable. When I was there, it was the Hukbo ng Bayan Laban sa Hapon (HUKS) that made the news. Now it's a whole other gig and I'm no expert. All I know is that they can spot a Hapon (me) a mile away...and with a scope, probably further. Especially with the other half being of Norweigian ancestery.

If I could, well, I probably could, I would move there and open a Buck shop to replace all the Negrito knives made with jeepney leaf springs with Bucks.

I love that country and its' people.

Thaks for the adobo tip :)
As for the pic, looking forward to it...gotta put a Buck in the pic or everyone will think it's a recipe forum. ;)
I should've taken a pic of mine before I sliced it up. Looks more appetixzing before being cut up.

THE FIRST TIME IT WAS THE 110. THIS TIME IT WAS A 186. WE'LL SEE WHAT'S NEXT!
 
Mav and Goshen, I will keep my thumb out of the way, I will
keep my thumb out of the way.:eek:

What I do is I cut the thumb and index finger.Ether opening it
or just playing around.:mad:

Jeff
 
he he Hawkeye5

I do to... but tested the edge with my finger and oops. Also when stropping it a little I sliced my thumb too..

What pi$$es me off is the fact that I only ever cut my left hand!
