  • I’m real tired of “strongest material” being thrown around. As a welder turned machinist, “strong” doesn’t mean much of anything to me. Aluminum is plenty “strong” but it’s softer than some woods. Tungsten carbide is harder than a coffin nail but you can chip it by looking at it funny sometimes. Kevlar is plenty tough, but it isn’t hard or particularly flexible. There isn’t any super material that will ever do all the things “the best” and throwing around meaningless titles for clickbait feels childish at best and exploitative at worst.

    They do eat to ticks, but they’re resistant to Lyme disease, not rabies. It’s not that opossum hunt ticks or anything, they’re just real good at grooming, and as ticks are real good at sticking to furry critters, opossum naturally end up fighting both ticks numbers and Lyme disease incidents.

    So, yeah, same same but different.


  • My frost mora is the best, cheapest, sharpest big boy knife i ever bought. Paid like $20 maybe 15 years ago and it’s been an absolute monster. Rarely needs sharpening, and the sharpening is a breeze thanks to the gorgeous saber grind that came with it. Honestly can’t talk up morakniv enough.
