Glad it went well. Best not to ask what they're feeding you.  Just assume it's good for you, put your head down and eat what you can.  Otherwise you will be hungry all night which makes the discomfort worse.

Glad it went well. Best not to ask what they're feeding you.  Just assume it's good for you, put your head down and eat what you can.  Otherwise you will be hungry all night which makes the discomfort worse.

Welcome to the challenge! USA is a good country for this, so many brands.  :cheers:

Thanks.

Yeah, I was looking over the small collection and realized many of my knives are made in the USA, including one I made in high school shop class out of an old file (couldn't get away with that these days) and one my son 3D printed for me.

This should be a fun and colorful challenge.

That reminds me of this classic poultry ham-let: "Chicken or no chicken, that's the question here..."

Get well soon, RP!  :tu:

Thanks, everyone. Recovery is slow but steady. I'm doing physio twice a day. Still on a lot of painkillers. The food is tolerable. It seems that the food is either chicken or not chicken.  :think:

The very best of British to you Sir  :salute:

The food reminds me of the first time I had the "developmental opportunity" to sample the very finest in outdoor catering from the Met' Police.

Nutritional Distribution Operative: "Veg' or non-veg?"

Nutritional Disposal Operative: "Non-veg please. What is it?"

Nutritional Distribution Operative: "Lasagne."

Nutritional Disposal Operative: "What's the veg' option?"

Nutritional Distribution Operative: "Veg' Lasagne."

Still, it was cold, it was wet and therefore, matched the weather perfectly  :whistle:

Might as well.

I decided I'll focus on US-made, and especially "fallen flag" brands like Camillus, Schrade, Queen, (and apparently very recently, but soon to be revived under Blue Ridge Knives) Ontario.   Most of my EDCs are US-made anyway, and they'll see some use as well. Heck, I only have to swap my SwissTool XC for a LM and my small Seki-made Klein for a small US-made knife, and I really don't have to shake up anything major.

However, Schrade USA DL-2 (or Tough Chip) vs. Vic Classic SD is gonna be hard. I know Vic nails the Classic's scissors, but I've never had a Schrade one. So, a Micra would probably be better, and it is US-assembled. The "one knife" I'm buying next month is gonna be $165, and other than a LM Fuse, I haven't allowed myself to buy anything more, and I've been saving up for that Emerson for a few months now. I do have a Schrade USA 106OT that I think has the same scissors as the DL-2, but it's a rare knife and I don't like carrying it often.
