New box truck!  Isuzu NPR-HD w/ 18ft box and Anthony liftgate.  Picked it up on Friday.  Camera system goes in this week (back up, side mounts, and dash cam all with a 9" display and DVR.)  Getting it wrapped as soon as the design is complete.

That'll get a lot of Rockwood moved out

Do the chops and ribs glow when you butcher this breed?

Like @DoubleEgger, I too had a Shun Christmas.  My first ones and they are amazingly sharp.  The 8" Kiritsuke cuts a tomato like a hot knife through soft butter.

Nice haul. I bought the 8" Kiritsuke on Black Friday. It breezed through the onions and celery in Salado Chili. It's a great knife.

Cutlery and More also Amazon had it for $99, half of the Shun sticker price and the 6 " was still $147

Also this. Well, it was for my boys but I'll be caring for it.  At present it's still appetizer size.

Those are like stone crabs right?  You snap off the tail for an app and they grow a new one.

My kid has one of those. I never see it but he loves it. He's had it for like 4-5 years. I'll walk in his room and Leo will be sitting on his shoulder. Apparently as lizards go, these are good.

@Fred19Flintstone. Low recoil?!?!

I like the Hydra Shok.  I carry a Karr PM9 which is very light weight so less recoil means a higher chance of more shots on target.

Run the same thing in my Glock 19's and 43. Also in .380 my 42..

Can't run them in my XDs as the tip wants to hangup on the feed ramp sometimes so I don't trust them. They work fine in my Sigs though.

You pay for what you get when it comes to firearms.

Used this yesterday and it's a game changer. I looked up my All Clad Copper Core and said to work just fine. Mine did not! Called CS at All Clad and found out I have the older original Copper Core and it was changed a few years ago to work on induction. I got got it for use outside with the Eggs, now I can see it will be used inside as much.

All my Springers and Rugers work fine. But I do love my Sigs. 

Not a Glock fan. Don't like the way they fit my hand.

I'm not a Glock fan either. The triggers are mushy in my opinion. I bought a Kimber CDP back in 2003 so I've been spoiled.  My next purchase will be a Ruger Alaskan in .454 Casull or .480 Ruger.

My MIL and FIL gave me an Ace gift card, that I turned into a a baking stone for my large and the aluminum pizza peel to go with it. Now just trying to decide what to spend the remaining balance on.

Nice tip! I pulled the trigger on one at this price, this will be the nicest knife I own by far ( been using a victorinox for years. Is there anything I should know on how to take care of this beautiful tool?

Love the G19......I have 6 of them.  Yeah, the trigger is not the best, but there are no less than a 1000 trigger replacements, mods, an spring combinations if you want to make it into a target or comp gun (and you can do it all with one pin pusher--no gunsmithing required)

For CCW, Kahr's are my fav.....PM9 in a shoulder rig and P380 a pocket gun.  I've had several XD's, two HK's, two Steyr, two Walthers, multiple KelTecs, a Ruger, S&W revolvers, a Kimber, and even a cheap Taurus once, but I always come back to the Glocks for home & trucks, and Kahr's for carry.

+1 I pick up the HSTs when I can find them, otherwise I've had good success with the Hornady critical defense and they are readily available. I haven't had a failure out of the hornadys, they run pretty clean too! Back to egging though, I'm going to have to check some of these BBQ books out!
