What's happening in the David Mary Custom shop?

Isn't black ice a name of some sort of dessert in Canada?

It's just like the big part of northern hemisphere population belives that it's tropical in Sydney all year round...

Sure, I've only wore long pants a dozen times in the last 10 years (weddings/funerals/legal matters)... but then I did get ridiculed for wearing shorts for NYE in Las Vegas... and there are parts of Sydney (greater metropolitan area... slightly bigger than the whole of Lebanon...) that folks have to scrape off hoarfrost to be able to drive to work in the morning...

Is hoarfrost an actual word or slang?........ I'm at work and leery of googling it.... :O


*I'm guilty of thinking Australia is warm all the time too.
Can't get over your bikini season is during Christmas too! ;)

Hoarfrost is an actual word. Usually happens when it's foggy and then gets cold enough to freeze.

Too true - hoar frost can also present itself with very large crystal formation, making for pretty dramatic designs on surfaces, too. Tiny spikes, towers, wands, intricate plates, and a myriad of 3-D ice textures....quite beautiful in morning sunlight, if the sunlight is shining.
 
We get it a lot..... I'm not sure if I ever heard our meteorologists call it that though?
I don't listen very well.....

Frozen Fog is usually what is commonly said (here)

I suspect that "hoar" has fallen from common public usage in the US, due to it's rhyming with whore.

In areas I've lived most of my life, ski communities regularly throw it around, yet that's a cultural practice unique to the world of snow science and snow fun.

I too, have never heard a weather personality utter the word.

You would hear it here on the local news. Frequently the meteorologist will show photo’s that people send in of different nature scenes and when it is hoarfrost glistening in sunlight, she calls it such.

There is also a species of rotund rodent (and to some, called a woodchuck) that inhabit mountainous, wintry areas called the Hoary Marmot.

Probably should not add that name to your list of creature knife models, David Mary David Mary , even though marmot's are great survivors and are community driven, too.
 
I wasn't referring to anyone in particular.
 
SOCIETY has devolved into a sad state of immaturity and willfull ignorance.

Once people see the value of truth and start to LIVE that way, I think it's far off but possible, once that happens things will get better.

it starts by being the change you want to see.
 
Don’t know what the handle material is on second one up but the contrast in the texture is looking good :thumbsup:
 
I'm wondering if I should get a wood handle on one of my "new on order" DMC knives, instead of blue micarta on both. I need to look at photos of previous knives to see what kind of options I'd have.
