    Breaking Faith - Catholic Husband

    Throughout Church history, there are many periods when the Church falls into disrepair, and the responsibility to right the ship falls to those outside of the highest echelons of authority. As the ironies pile up, one of the most clear examples is the life of St. Francis himself. Constant reform is the way of the Christian life, and it falls to the vibrant religious communities and the laity to rebuild God’s Church. We find ourselves in need of a new St. Francis to repair the inestimable damage wrought by Pope Francis.

  • First Knife Mod

    After nearly four years as a collector, I finally completed my first knife mod.

    Benchmade Bugout with Fat Carbon Nebula scales

    This Bugout was the first knife in my collection, bought two weeks before COVID hit. I hated the FRN scales and so I almost never carried it. Now it’s going in my display case with my other favorites.

    I love this Nebula pattern, but it’s hard to find on US-made knifes. These scales were made in Wisconsin, so the Bugout remains a fully USA made knife. In addition to the scales, I swapped the screws for Flytanium titanium screws.
