With EDC knife brands like Kizer and CIVIVI launching upscale versions of work knives, I’m not surprised to see utility blade folding knives becoming a trend. That said, I have made considerable effort to avoid folding knives that use disposable razors as their blade.  I never really considered them part of the EDC or outdoor knife segment. I once bought one from Home Depot’s house brand, Husky, when I was remodeling my house. It has a pocket clip and anodized handles, but it lives in my tool pouch until I need it for handyman tasks on my “honey-do” list. But…

My streamer slapped down perfectly next to a submerged log, almost kissing the wood. In true Kelly Galloup fashion, I ripped the rod tip of the G. Loomis Asquith aggressively, using my stripping hand to keep up with the slack. My streamer darted from the cover, and a rainbow charged out and absolutely crushed my fly. I came tight to the fish and had my first fish of the day boat side in short order. At that time, I had been testing the rod for about a week and was quickly falling for it. I had taken it to a…

By Tom Laemlein Posted in #History World War II dragged on, and Japan refused to surrender even when threatened with prompt and utter destruction. Germany had given up more than two months before, and the Japanese stood alone in their opposition to the Allies.
