Legally, we can only EDC a non-locking knife with a blade of less than 3" in length. Like a slip-joint Victorinox or Spyderco UK Penknife, etc. I know of a doorman who got into a pretty bad but routine scrap, was searched by the attending police and they randomly confiscated his perfectly legal Spyderco UK Penknife (the black handled one with the "Leaf" blade) because, according to the constable, "it looked nasty". For that reason I carry a pink Spyderco Squeak. A pink knife marketed as "Squeak".
When Rip says "Pocket knife" I think he's talking about a real knife he could defend himself with - and not just daintily slice cheese and open letters with.
I use a knife every day. You don't? And I am not talking about an effective weapon.
Rip, I recently listened to an older podcast on whiskey and found a bottle of buffalo trace and eagle rare, both are very good for someone starting out and I appreciate the recommendations. Eagle rare in the Waxahachie area runs $50 a bottle now and it took three liquor stores to find a bottle. Is Weller 12 impossible to find these days? Also Old Rip 10? Maybe it's just the availability in my area, but it would be cool to even find a bottle of Stagg Jr. Also what other distilleries are worth looking into for good bourbon?
Thanks all. I have no problem with burn being a big scotch fan, which runs in the family. A friend of mine swears by Wild Turkey and I just didn't believe it could be a good example of bourbon but didn't know enough about it.
I have done some research and found a list Rip did in 2016 (below for anyone who is interested).
I have ordered the Eagle Rare, looking forward to it.
I'd say:
Weller 107
Rittenhouse Rye BIB
Eagle Rare 10
Willett Rye 3
Stagg Jr
Glenmorangie 10
Laphroig 10
MacKenzie Rye
Old Potrero 18th Century Style Whiskey
Connemara Peated Irish Whiskey CS
The start of an excellent cabinet.
