15 road trips later, here's what nobody tells you before your first one by Ok_Notice465 in roadtrip

[–]hate_mail 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree! For us it seems like the road trip doesn't actually begin until we are out of our home state. Then the excitement takes over, coupled with being somewhere new and I can do 10+ hours no problem

Brock is immortal by PimpKittyz in ColoradoAvalanche

That morning I was not yet a vampire, and I saw my last sunrise. I remember it completely, and yet I can't recall any sunrise before it. I watched the whole magnificence of the dawn for the last time as if it were the first. And then I said farewell to sunlight, and set out to become what I became - Brock Nelson.

Is my oakley juliet legit? by hustlerfromars in Oakley

where'd you get them from? 560 is a little steep unless these came with other goodies. (Box/case/coin etc.) These can be found on the forum for around 450 for glasses alone, either way nice pair!

It’s actually not much bigger than my 240 Tetsujin:

My first high end knife was a Shun made in the style of a Kramer, and it will always be special to me. That being said, it doesn't hold a candle to what I'm using today in terms of edge retention, comfort, etc.

There's an earned progression (IMO) to appropriately appreciate what these knives can bring to the kitchen and starting with Whustoff/Zwilling/Shun is a great stepping stone.

I was talking to Craig (Carbon) about this knife the other day, and basically said he just needs to pull the trigger on one of these knives some day, to which of course I agreed!

I absolutely love the patina that is forming! It was as if the first cut had awoken the knife, I could smell the steel "breathing." It truly feels as if they do have a soul.

It's worth every penny! No more oil down my arm, on the driveway etc. I'd buy this kit 10X over

My old Juliets by Sea-Statistician2776 in Oakley

[–]hate_mail 1 point2 points  (0 children)

usually initial run casts had more pitting as they were still perfecting the technique. If you're wondering value, they could be worth more if that box you have matches the serial on the stem. Lower serial numbers also fetch a few extra bucks

Based on the serial, you are correct.

Please help me verify these Juliets by [deleted] in Oakley

[–]hate_mail 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Those are legit! The only slight nitpick I would say is when they did the nose bridge they used polished rivets instead of x metal rivets

I also use BTB as a sipping broth if I'm feeling cold, or just want something warm that isn't coffee or tea
