Whelp…here we go again. Despite overwhelming evidence that lockdowns do nothing to reduce the area underneath the curve, only shift its distribution, our betters seem bound and determined to inflict maximum damage on our economy and collective psyche. As HL Mencken said, “Democracy is the idea that the common people know what they want, and deserve to get it good and hard”.

At some point all of this is going to run contrary to the Constitution’s guarantee of freedom of association. Especially if people are arrested in their own homes for having dinner. That is not even mentioning the infringement of the free exercise of religion which has been shredded during this panicdemic.
As Ron Burgandy would say, “That escalated quickly”. I will take a deep breathe and move on.
It has been a great week at KNIFE Magazine. The relaunch of 5 from the Grinder has provided a much needed infusion of fresh traffic.

My wife and I were discussion our pantry levels of various items. She inquired about our wine situation. I replied, “I don’t need to look. I will get more.”
Anyone want to win a CRKT M40 -3 ?
For those unfamiliar with this knife, it is a lost Kit Carson design. Frank Karl wrote about it in the July issue.
As far as my $.02, I dig it. It has a nice feel, and I am a big fan of the Flavio Ikoma Deadbolt lock is really solid. Even Hocky will like it – it is made in “Free China”, aka Taiwan.
