Sorry folks, had to back out of this one.  My daughter was sick with Strep and then developed this PANDAS disorder, I've spent the last week or so taking care of her.  She's better now, pretty much back to her normal self, but man was it a wild ride.

Yessir I know that guy!
   That's a good lookin Opinel.  I never did get a judgement whether or not the two tooth serrations on my Opinel DIY qualified as a Combo Edge or not.  I read a review for an Opinel like yours, Barry.  Some fellow used one of these that he borrowed while hiking a section of the Appalachian Trail.  Guy had sheepdogs.  He liked the one he borrowed so much; he bought his own. 
    Rained most of the day yestiddy.  Rained on and off all night.  More on the way.  Too warm for snow.  Just the right temperature for mud with a forecast for slickery slogginess.  Best wishes.  G
 :(

I hope she continues to get better.  You're in our prayers!

Oh man!  So sorry to hear that but glad she's doing better.  Hate it when the kids get sick.  When they're bouncing off the walls and annoying me, I remind myself that I'd rather hear them doing all that ruckus than being sick.
May the best of your past, be the worst of your future.

All the butter knives were dirty so I had to improvise.

Day 11



Intersect of two hobbies of mine. I enjoy mucking about with a harmonica. I won't say I'm bad at it, but we'll just say my wife prefers I play when she's not home.  :rofl:

At the risk of being labeled persnickety, my $0.02 is that it is not a combo edge…

Combo edge = partially serrated, which means part of the blade is serrated while the balance has a plain edge

While there are different designs for serrations, the wire cutting/stripping notches are not serrations (even though they may look similar if you squint), nor are they intended to be used in same fashion as serrations.

Thats the situation where I say youd have to finesse the angle of attack,  just the outer plain edge through the paper.

Similar to sharpening a stick for toasting food over a campfire. Id just use the plain edge.

Engage the serrated part for synthetic materials like plastic.

 :iagree: EB  :tu:

tbh that's what i did once i actually thought about it  :twak: the gerber is pretty small so it takes a bit of thought to just use the pe, something i was lacking  :rofl:

 :cheers:

The mini griptilian helping with dinner.

Mine feels that way when I play too  :facepalm:

The harmonica or another instrument? The harmonica being so small is nice, I can go play anywhere really, even sitting in the car when I'm in traffic.  :rofl:

The 551SBK and Arc kept me company today. The Griptilian cut some paracord that I used to fix the zipper on my hoody.
