it’s a cool and rainy day here in the City by the Bay 🌧️. Looks like it’s going to be that way for the next several days but we will see 🤷. Staying home and watching the Olympics and the NASCAR Super Bowl later. Keeping me company the Modoc Special and my favorite peanut. Have a great day folks! 😀

Along with a couple/three other knives, I've been carrying and using this Buck 389 Canoe. It's done an adequate job such as cutting some sisal rope yesterday afternoon. Some say the 420J2 steel blades are low performers - Frank knarfeng knarfeng being one of them but I'm satisfied so far. Sausage and eggs for breakfast.

Watched some Olympic skeleton and single bobsled this morning. I'm not sure which is crazier - luge or skeleton. Speaking of crazy, the little town of Hartsburg, Missouri lies at the bottom of the Missouri River bluffs. The crooked road leading into it has a vertical elevation drop of 150-200 feet. I once hit 55 mph on a racing bicycle coming down it. At the bottom there's houses, a post office, a tavern, a cross road, etc. Basically shooting into town in excess of 50 mph on a bicycle is dumb, reckless, and crazy. It was also a rush 😃

But I was speaking of luges and skeletons. Around the same time I did this, I met a guy, also named Mike, who periodically would come down it on a street luge. With no brakes 😲 I don't know how fast he went on it, but if I hit 55 on a bike, he was probably going somewhat faster. Mike was a nice, soft spoken, crazy man 🤪

Anyway, I'll probably watch the Daytona 500. Nothing else planned.
Hoof pick knives came up in another thread, so I grabbed this one off the table by the door where it normally resides. I don't have a horse, but it's just the thing for boot tread cleaning.

I don't even want to think about some of the crazy stuff I did in the past. I'll just say that I've got to be close to that cat with the 9 lives.....
I decided to switch to the EJ for the day.

Geometry cuts, steel alloy and heat treat primarily determine how long before resharpening is required. ;)
Buck's super hollow grind geometry maximizes the cutting performance of their blades, no matter from which alloy they are made.

Carrying the stainless version of yesterday's carry.
