And you can't hear mine outside my truck...with the windows up. At least not very far away. Probably about the same as stock. Doors open its a different story.

Sighs, that's how my truck used to be

./shrug!

But yeah, it's 8:00 a.m and I haven't been to sleep yet. I had a nap around 9:00 last night for literally 30 minutes and have been up ever since. It sucks.

Anywhoosle. KW FTW. Way better than the CCH I went to.

I also found that I dislike the contoured handle like the wusthoff or similar. When done right I would much rather have a D shape or round or octagon style handle.

Why?

I was suprised. It feels like a weapon when it has a contoured handle. As if I have to fist the knife. Grabing the spine of the knife for real direct work is not as ergonomic then. The Ken Onion knives however have a by far the best ergonomics. I felt I could controll the knife from the handle. Normally then I would feel stuck into one type of grip. The Ken is designed however so you can grab right up to the blade and around the neck comfortably. It's not perfect but it's MUCH better than the other contoured "grip shaped" knife handels.

I was completely shocked by this actually. I don't like the look of the round handle. Global also looks good and feels good just holding. However it feels akward cutting. The Japan style (read round or octagon) handle turned me off untill I used it. It looked uncomfortable and stupid. It isn't really great feeling in your hand either if you just fist grab the knife, but the advantage comes from how I could use it. The style is 100% utilitarian. The D shape is nice in case you do need to fist the knife, and it doesn't impede your grip really. I grabbed one (I forgot what the name is) that had a swell in the grip. It helped to fill the palm gap ever so slightly. It was more comfortable and was almost more effective when you choke up on the knife blad giving your palm a bit more surface area. In truth the D shape, slight swelled round grip, or the octagon and round style would work just fine.

Wish they could unload Sheppard and Bouchard and maybe let Nolan go as a rental and get some draft picks in return.

A reasonably well informed guy in glasses. He was kind and acted personable but it was pretty obvious he thought I wasn't going to buy anything. Not concierge service, but admirable as I bet he works with moms who want the most expencive and prettiest with no budget on average. I also hate having to look/ask for a sales person. Didn't ask me to buy, but opened the glass and gave feedback. Seamed to like Shun knives. :meh: He didn't act like he knew I would be getting a deposit in my bank account today worth 6 months of pay.

Honestly I haven't been that excited to shop with the wife in a long time. She loves knives and kitchen gadgets, and I was so amped to get my hands on some nice steel.

We had fun.

My wife wants to buy jack a girlfriend!

And you can't hear mine outside my truck...with the windows up. At least not very far away. Probably about the same as stock. Doors open its a different story.

I spent a significant amount of time deadening my doors and truck and all and I was at the school one night jamming to music waiting for a friend to leave the dorm and when she came out she said she could hear my music from about 50yds away. I was really surprised. Couldn't imagine what it would be with out though.

Speaking of deadener, I need to figure out a solution for the roof of the Jeep. Jacob's results were nice but I wonder how SDS in 25% coverage would work in both reducing the horrible resonance and gaining some score.

Email don.

Good idea !

And I'll have to email you some more of those archives

Well a boring NHL trade deadline for the Minnesota Wild!

A while ago, welcome back. Dr. Captain Canada was heading it up, but he has been very busy with school and work.

Heh, Hadn't stopped by in a while and just thought I'd poke my face around for a few. =D. He was already pretty busy before wasn't he? lol

and hey Adrian! Sorry I tried to quote your message to but I fail ;(

Stick around man, you are part of the OG core group.

Heh, yeah to bad I haven't really been active in any of the forums I used to read (car audio wise) since 08. I'm reading this one a bit more and I still do read DIY quite often, just don't post. I'm out of the loop though for sure.

Well there is always the iHop.

You're the only one who ever talks Aaron =p.

In my truck you'd think I don't have a sub. Perfect for me and definitely noticeable that it is there.
