    Fox Knives Anzu on a cardboard box

    Every so often a knife really comes out of nowhere to impress me; this is one of them. I picked this up late last year, my first Les George design, and it is awesome. The locking mechanism is just as good as the Axis Lock, the ergonomics are perfect, and this is a very nice knife to look at. It will be a sleeper in the knife world, but it’s earned its spot in my collection.

  • As I was upgrading Catholic Husband, I came across a post that I wrote in January 2017 called On Hiatus. I had completely forgotten that I took all of 2017 off.

    Since restarting in November of that year, I’ve written over a third of my entire blog.

    Rest is a good thing.

  • Honda, Nissan End Merger Talks, Leaving Nissan to Seek Other Partners - WSJ

    Honda had initially agreed to a merger structure in which the two automakers would sit side-by-side under a single holding company. The companies said Thursday that Honda—whose market value is about five times Nissan’s—later sought to make Nissan a subsidiary.

    I hated this deal.
