Sorry, it was 25 years ago. I believe I used Cabela's but not sure.

Neoprene fishing gloves is what I used in Alaska. Fingers eventually got cold but as long as water didn't come in at the cuff they stayed dry. It does trap body moisture though so maybe a thin cotton liner would help.

Reply to Kent comb snapped, but only after 5+ years of daily moderate use. It's been my edc for hair and long beard and has survived the laundry many times and also being a fidget as well. Sad to lose it, but genuinely pleased and will buy another. by kitty-committee

Bald man shrugs. So sad. 😅

Reply to Recommendation for BIFL chef's knife? by notproudortired

Ok, I had to do some searching but found what I think the exact knife is:

ZWILLING TWIN MASTER 9.5-INCH, CHEF'S KNIFE - BLACK HANDLE ZWILLING

Also bought a bread knife with it. Its also one of my favorites. I bought them in 1995.

Google that and you should find a number of matches. Not sure about the bread knife.

Could be. Our food service rep brought them one day which wasn't unusual, they often brought swag at very good prices.

Former kitchen manager here. I found the Henkel food services knives to be the best value. I've been out of restaurant work for 20 years but used the ones I purchased from our vendor for 3 before leaving. The balance is excellent, they hold an edge for a very long time, and they cost about $30 US at the time. My only complaint is that after all these years the blade shape has changed a bit (flatter) from use and sharpening; I'm thinking of having them reshaped but know that would shorten them a bit and I really like the length. Maybe it's time to just buy a new one.

Reply to toro lawnmower used $100 or a new honda lawnmower for $500 by hov818

I have a Honda my father in law gave me. It is now at least 25 years old. Starts on first pull, doesn't burn oil, and runs strong. I ran a lawn service and used Toro. They also are bullet- proof but the Honda is new so that wins.
