All About Pocket Knives

I inherited an old Weber kettle grill from my sisters estate and finally decided to use it. Its been decades since I have used a charcoal grill as during my last marriage the missus did most of the grilling on a gas grill I won. Anyway I educated myself with a little online research and after the new grate arrived (original one was rusted to much) and grilled up burgers that were very well received. Yesterday I decided to try chicken breasts on the grill and they came out excellent if I do say so myself. My helper through the day was my micarta GEC 23 which I find myself carrying without much second thought. I used one of the kids markers to add a little contrast to the handle as didn't have much if any. I have come to like the 23LL and was lucky enough to pick up one of the Redtail version yesterday when Mike at CollectorKnives got the final lot in, looking forward to getting it in hand and into my belt sheath.

Anyway a pic of yesterdays dinner with my all around knife.

Great mod on the micarta. I've seen some with low color contrast and like yours better. Looks great, and love the LL and the drop point. Congrats. Good looking chicken and rice too. Like a chef. Mmmmmmmmmmmm.

I hadn't used a smoker in about 20 years. The Masterbuilt is almost a set and forget, mu ch easier and bigger than the one I used to have. Oh and I even smoked the Mac and cheese, it was delicious.

I have the grill fired up for steaks.
The Mac and cheese will have to wait for burgers and dogs.
You got a special recipe?

I meant for the pictures for this thread to appear here, but ended up posting them in another thread (related to the looming Chi-Com threat for total world domination). This is a Ganzo knife that looks a lot like a Lion Steel from Italy. I am using it to cut through a plywood roof in a travel trailer to pull down the panel because it has water damage. It was the only tool to do the job at the time. I am hitting the end of it with a hammer to cut/break through the plywood roof attached to the wall. Also using my trusty rope knife to get this job done. Both knives have held up well to a lot of abuse over the years.

And that's my reason for keeping a few cheap knives around. My two are an import Kershaw and a Sanremu.
