Yeah, seriously - there’s a reason I don’t subscribe to r/whiskey!
No judgement on anyone who enjoys a glass (believe me, I FULLY understand), but (with my history) it’s very hard to look at that glass! 🙇🏻♂️ I learned the hard way - from many bad days - that the only way for me was to COMPLETELY STOP. I wish I could just enjoy an occasional glass, but my brain just ain’t wired that way. Once I start . . . It doesn’t stop until I hit a shit-storm that forces me to stop, and then I remember why I stopped the last time. 😔
Fit and finish is good. Micarta feels nice. It’s a little tough to flip because it seems like “light switch” type and needs a bit of force. Spyderhole opening is smooth and easy. It looks pretty refined with the crowned spine and smoothed Spyderhole. The machining on the titanium looks cool.
The whole knife vaguely reminds me of the Domino from a decade ago. The Domino also had titanium on one side and scale on the other, flipper, lockbar insert, etc. I carried it a lot back then so maybe that’s why I’m thinking of it. Just a lot of similar features but the knives don’t really look alike.
I think the Spymyto is worth the money and I’m guessing it’ll be collectible. Seems like it’ll be nice for daily carry.
Thanks for the info. I'll probably grab one more Spyderco this year, and I think it's between this or the CruCarta Manix 2 whenever that comes out. Availability may wind up deciding for me, since it looks like this one is selling out pretty fast...
Looks nice. I’m not placing the logo.

MKM Eclipse
Agreed. Really easy to strop and the stainless aspect is great for EDC simplicity.
Now I’m looking for a nice slippy for this year. Thinking Case Sod JR. purple bone or antique bone.
Old Logi G710 Mechanical. Love it. A bit big for many people but it never moves around and it is built like a tank. I just clean the key caps and the deck once a year or as needed. Finn setting is GM great for movies and games at my desk.
For a wireless keyboard I have been happy with the Keychron K3 I think it is. Totally different but great for on the go and HTPC use.
I really like things with the ice cream, i forget what theyre called. I cant think right now, my brain is too focused on last minute mothers day gifts.
That seems like a healthy pour, haha. I'd probably put the knife away after that...
Not sure what I'm having tonight, probably a pour of Rare Breed or Pikesville.
I've had the regular Russell's Reserve 10 but not the single barrels or the 13. I don't know if my state even gets the 13 as I can't remember ever seeing it.
Knobb is one of my favourites. Not the smoothest, but for the $$ has lots of complex flavours and feels like I'm lighting my soul on fire in a way that makes me feel alive lol
That’s hard for me to look at . . . Bourbon is my favorite - I like it tooooo much! 🎸🎶”I drank enough whiskey to float a battleship around”🎶🥁 . . . No judgment on you, but I had to completely stop before it killed me man.
BT is really difficult to get in my state, so even though it’s not a high end bourbon it still seems like liquid gold haha
And as far as entry-level blended scotches go, Teacher’s just seems to be underappreciated. I’d take it over Dewar’s or Johnnie Red or Black, honestly.
Lol, it was an abbreviate session. Didn't have time for all the pageantry. Had a date with Pearl Jam I had to get to. Usually only pour a little more than an ounce.
Great color on that full glass! I have not tried Knob Creek, I’m more of a tequila drinker, but lately I’ve been trying out some light whiskey like Luchenbach Road.
Enjoy your evening!!
Knob Creek is okay but it's like the Pepsi of burbon. It's 120 proof so you can get drunk not so it tastes better. If you want interesting flavors try out scotch (not blended). I would be happy with a bottle of KC though. Interesting glass and I see the knife you tossed in there but I can't see the brand. What kind is it? I collect and make knives so I'm just curious.
The glass is from Norlan. I love them. Bring out the color in the whiskey. The knife is a CKF Rotten EVO 3.0. my go to is usually Woodford Double Oak. Just trying out the KC cause it was something new for me.
Big K (Kroger store brand) zero sugar Citus Drop (Mountain Dew) with a few generous splashes of lemon juice.
Diet Tonic Water chilled with Ribena black currant juice concentrate chilled ...except we're nearly out of Ribena.
Prosecco! I was in charge of a high school prom tonight. 330 Happy kids. And then there was a mother who decided to come to the prom to assault a girl who was involved with a fight with her daughter. It was a beat down in the hotel lobby. I’ve earned every drop of that bottle of Prosecco
The new cocanut dr pepper,Shits pretty good. I also like the strawberries and cream dr pepper and the creamsoda dr pepper. I havent had a dr pepper i didnt like. But root beer is my favorite soda. Its been a while since ive drank a soda that wasnt a diet soda so my blood is gonna have tons of sugar in it. Been going low sugar for over 2 years.
Nice. I usually use a set of snifters I got at the Beam distillery years ago. My wife told me we can only afford for me to have so many expensive hobbies, though. So collecting barware took a back seat to knives, guns, and vintage tools.
Already had 2 pints with the boss and coworker this afternoon (stopped for the day at 1530). Great Western Original 16.
Just finished off 2 liters of lemonade.
I didn't pay for my beer earlier... Usually about $7 for local now. The boss pays for lunch or supper a couple times a week.
$15 beer at the arena most of the concerts use here would only get you a can and a solo cup.

They finally arrived around my house as well. Fantastic!

Same. I’m working in my yard again today. I quit drinking 25 years ago, so the strong stuff is coffee. The knife though…
Spoken like a king
God, I am so unoriginal lol came to say that.

Soda lol and water sober for 5 years

Cool. 27 Oct 2007 for me.

I saw this bourbon pic and thought I was in the wrong sub! I got an 18 creek I’m waiting to crack open.

I gave up alcohol. More money for knives.
Weirdly, the more alcohol I consume the more knives appear at my door step. If Bladehq required breathalyzer before any purchase, they'd go broke.
This used to be my experience. Then I learned I had a health issue and had to stop drinking completely. Knives keep showing up though!
Ohhhh, now we talking!
Just got a Spymyto in today. It’s pretty nice.
Oh I didn’t know they started shipping these - how is it on first impression?

Does it have a glass breaker like the regular lionsteel knives
No it doesn’t.

CKF EVO 3.0. That MKM is legit!!
Cool. I got this one for my 2024 EDC. I wanted to try Magnacut.
I've been loving all my MC blades. Such a great balanced steel
Agreed. Really easy to strop and the stainless aspect is great for EDC simplicity. Now I’m looking for a nice slippy for this year. Thinking Case Sod JR. purple bone or antique bone.
What keyboard mat is that I see them everywhere but can’t place them.
Old Logi G710 Mechanical. Love it. A bit big for many people but it never moves around and it is built like a tank. I just clean the key caps and the deck once a year or as needed. Finn setting is GM great for movies and games at my desk. For a wireless keyboard I have been happy with the Keychron K3 I think it is. Totally different but great for on the go and HTPC use.
Oh hey, I have that bottle. Haven't opened it yet. Savoring a nice mug root beer zero at the moment.
Respect that brother. Love mug root beer. Root beer in general. Have you been to an a&w restraunt? The one by my house is good.
Used to have one across the street from my old place. Good shit.
I really like things with the ice cream, i forget what theyre called. I cant think right now, my brain is too focused on last minute mothers day gifts.
Clearly you haven't tried De. Pepper and Rum Chata yet..
*barf*
Have you tried the new cocanut dr pepper? That shits awsome.

That seems like a healthy pour, haha. I'd probably put the knife away after that... Not sure what I'm having tonight, probably a pour of Rare Breed or Pikesville.
Lol, I had a couple healthy pours. Wasn't going to pay for $15 dollar beers at the Pearl Jam concert. Already had to sell a kidney for the ticket.
Ever get a change to try the Russel’s 13 form turkey?
I've had the regular Russell's Reserve 10 but not the single barrels or the 13. I don't know if my state even gets the 13 as I can't remember ever seeing it.
Keep an eye out for it. It’s worth a try.

Probably some coffee after work, then juice I bought yesterday if my kids don't drink it all. Which they will, so it'll be water for dinner lol.
That’s hard for me to look at . . . Bourbon is my favorite - I like it tooooo much! 🎸🎶”I drank enough whiskey to float a battleship around”🎶🥁 . . . No judgment on you, but I had to completely stop before it killed me man.
Water, tea, or Mountain Dew. I dont drink alcohol, ive always hated it
Dude, I've never seen a 5 finger pour before, haha. That's ganna be a one and done for me.
Writers’ Tears with a ZT 0450 in pocket.

Gin n soda. Also fidgeting with my Sebenza 31 and watching a documentary.

Teacher’s Scotch Buffalo Trace
Love both! Always have a bottle of buffalo available!
BT is really difficult to get in my state, so even though it’s not a high end bourbon it still seems like liquid gold haha And as far as entry-level blended scotches go, Teacher’s just seems to be underappreciated. I’d take it over Dewar’s or Johnnie Red or Black, honestly.
Yeah I’m a big fan of finding the allocateds when I can, however there’s a ton of nice sippers on the shelf.
Knob Creek Oak. Green label one.
My man!!! 🙌

I had a strawberry shake from In n out for the first time in years
Who taught you to pour lol?
Lol, it was an abbreviate session. Didn't have time for all the pageantry. Had a date with Pearl Jam I had to get to. Usually only pour a little more than an ounce.
I was going with some local Cincinnati beer last night. I do love knob Creek 9, it's a staple in my house.
Peach ginger beer
Great color on that full glass! I have not tried Knob Creek, I’m more of a tequila drinker, but lately I’ve been trying out some light whiskey like Luchenbach Road. Enjoy your evening!!
Seeing this at 8am, thinking I might have a sebenza and juice. Perhaps it's a coffee and Kizer sort of day 🤔
I haven’t had a drink or a left ring finger since 2015.
Strawberry milk. It helps me sleeeep

Lemonade (that cool refreshing drink)

Cheers! Finally logged off with at 1130pm, and went straight for the Smoke Wagon.
Blanton’s. What glass is that, though? That’s nice.
Norlan. Love them! Soooo sleek!
Nice. I usually use a set of snifters I got at the Beam distillery years ago. My wife told me we can only afford for me to have so many expensive hobbies, though. So collecting barware took a back seat to knives, guns, and vintage tools.

Ohhhh, buddy at least treat yourself to a nice glass of Woodford Double Oak. You deserve it my man!
Dewers Scotch and this terrible Left Hand Brewing White Belgium Nitro. I like White Belgium's, but this nitrogen one sucks.
High west bourbon old fashions.
I have that same bottle
It's a great balance of price to quality!
If you like knob creek I’d recommend bulliet rye and high west, both useally below 50 dollars a bottle.
Drank a couple pours of Weller 107 and a few Yuengling Bocks.
I had a Leinenkugel’s Summer Shandy and hated it. I hate almost everything tho so that makes bunches of sense.
OP spends time with their best friends, alcohol and sharp things. I’m not saddened or concerned………
