These guys are awesome

Picture this:

A round robin BS session with your friends talking about stuff you think you know.

Now picture this:

None of the guys are your friends, but they are friends, and they know a lot about knives, and you get to sit and listen.

Yeah I know. It’s a real good time. At least, I think so.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
