Missed a lot in the last few pages, doubt I’ll go read it.

What do you guys buy when there’s nothing you need and nothing specific you want? I WANT to buy a new knife but I don’t NEED a new knife and there’s nothing specific I’m really looking for.

I know the answer is just don’t buy anything but we also know that isn’t a good answer

This is when I end up buying an absolute looker that isn’t really on my wish list. The polished 240 blooming iron at JNS is calling my name at the moment.

Moments like this I miss my Newham honyaki. Used to be able to look at it and calm the urge to buy something just for the aesthetic lol

Sharpening stones? Handle upgrades? Knife making equipment? Spa day at Honest Edge ranch?

Depending on your desire for financial ruination you could always try this little drug called JNats

Thankfully not a rabbit hole I’ve gone down or want to. I suck at sharpening and my 2 stones do the job

But don’t worry, I messaged someone on BST and am likely buying something to scratch the itch

At work they call it a "teachng moment":



Nothing wrong with the statement, Except on a forum that prohibits political discussion. Take it over to www.Imirghtandyourwrong.com

… blooming iron

that sounds frighteningly like an Outback Steakhouse menu item.

Haha! Yes, sorry, bloomery iron, not some bizarre fried thing.

Start looking at pocket knives

One of these:

It’s still a knife, but only just

I like mine a lot. Small enough to fit into the small pocket of my jeans, and light enough for me to not notice it until I need it.

If you really wanna interact with your boss while he’s in a good mood, call him on the first night off he’s taken in 6 weeks while he’s out at dinner and tell him left the restaurant unlocked because you lost the keys.

P.S. Boss, I left the wood cutting boards soaking in water. You're welcome.

Also, I was in a hurry to get out of there, so I cater wrapped all those hotel pans of chili while they were still hot, should be fine! Thanks boss!

Please refer to the Knife Japan thread for my latest weakness. I like handle upgrades too. Looks nice and can help your knife feel different/better from balance. @JoBone got my ass with the sinker cypress/ironwood handle a few weeks ago.

Mountain biking makes the knife hobby look comparatively inexpensive, but there's always something to tinker with there. Or boat stuff.

"Boat stuff."

Last time I went there it sucked up money faster than a ex-wife. And I've been sort of, kinda, looking again....

Find a friend with a boat. Much cheaper that way.

Little boat, less violent bills, happy dog! Definitely better to have friends with big boats. Gas for offshore is brutal.

Haven't tried Duke's, is this worth the investment? Kind of a Kewpie slut tbh

Kewpie is the only mayo besides Dukes that I can tolerate. Hellman's in my mind is inferior but at least it's not miracle whip. As far as worth the investment, can't answer that but I assume it'll be difficult to find in Montana. And in the end it's just mayo. I'm fortunate to live in a place where there is literally a college football bowl game hosted by Dukes Mayo and the winning coach is assaulted with a Gatorade cooler full of Dukes at the end

I liked how they hit his head, before covering him in mayo
