That was Interesting . . .

Got a text from a friend asking what I was carrying today – I took a pic and sent it back to her – told her carrying light today . . .

Got a text back before I even made it downstairs – she said you MUST watch this Hickok45 video – so I did – stranger things HAVE happened – just saying – but I thought it was kinda neat . . .

From Taylor Martin : 7 BEST EDC KNIVES UNDER $50

Pretty interesting video . . .

Really good video – if you click through and watch on YouTube he has all the knives linked in the description – click and go straight to BladeHq to buy . . .

What Taylor Martin gives you here is a look at a variety of EDC knives – pros and cons – albeit from his point of view – his pick(s) might not be YOUR pick(s), but it gives you a look at different options. He is not a big fan of auto knives or even spring assist knives – Me? I am a huge fan of them – different strokes / different folks

One of the limitations of this media (blogging) is it is essentially a static medium – you read stuff – look at the pics – sometimes a short clip – and go on from there. For instance – When I picked up and handled the Spyderco Alcyone it was essentially an impulse buy – looked good – felt good – sure you bet – I’ll take it. Now to convey that “feels” into words and make sense out of it? Your kidding, right? My granddaughter thinks I should do the YouTube thing – I’m like No and let’s leave it at that . . .

I can screw stuff up good enough just blogging . . .

Almost Wrecked my Truck!

My Bushing Bride and I were tripping down to Dauphin Island and I caught sight of this sign – stabbed the brakes and slid off in the parking lot – sliding pretty good on the gravel – I admit I was going MUCH too fast to cut into the parking lot – but – can you blame me??

When I read the sign again – I was really disappointed – I realized there was only one “P” in strippers – my blushing bride laughed her ass off – I didn’t think it was THAT funny!

Some people’s sense of humor . . .

. . . and yes I am STILL digging through picture files . . .

Whiskey Roads featuring Junior Johnson

From 2006 on the old Speed Channel, this documentary examines the links between bootleggers and the early days of NASCAR with a focus on legendary driver/mechanic/car owner Junior Johnson.

This will get you in the right frame of mind to watch the video – “and them little girls get frisky when they here that race car sound . . .

You gotta go to YouTube to watch it – <<< Click Here >>> Good video – well worth the trip to the ‘Tube . . .

Spyderco Alcyone

Was at my local gun store to grab some 9mm – yes they actually had some in stock – and was headed out the door and this little gem caught my eye – The Spyderco Alcyone – the grey G10 scales really look good to me – price wise? Same cost as on line with shipping so I gave the little darling a new home – I know, I’m a soft touch for orphans . . .

About 4 1/2 inches closed . . .

Not quite 7 1/2 open . . .

The drop point blade has just about the right amount of “belly” – CTS-BD1 steel is supposed to be decent stuff – real nice edge – sharp but doesn’t feel “fragile” – the G10 scales are grippy but not abrasive – time will tell as I carry it – my “pocket” knife is used for cutting everything what needs to be cut – I don’t pry – scrape – turn screws – or otherwise abuse my “pocket” knife and this feels like it will do a good job . . .

Rolls open real smooth with either thumb – the pocket clip can be used in all 4 positions or left off – however YOU want to roll with it – even has a lanyard hole!

Good positive engagement of the liner lock – I will carry it for a while and see how it does – cleaned up the Gerber Flatiron and put it up in the knife box – it cut the snot out of anything and everything I used it for – never got the chance to chop up a body with it – but the Flatiron “felt” like it was up to the task if needed – zero complaints with it . . .

Totally subjective – but the Spyderco “feels” like a smaller knife despite its size – real good “feeling” of control when cutting – and yes I will do some kitchen tasks with it – might even remember to wash it first! – LMAO!
