I've been carrying the Kershaw Link for a few months now and I love it! I hesitantly picked up this popular blade, not knowing what to think of it (I thought the blue handle was plastic when I first saw it) and instantly realized why it's so popular. Far from your average cheap folder, the …

https://youtu.be/1ODBVWHWOAw This cheesy potato recipe is one of my favorite things out of the dutch oven. It's a really easy-to-make side dish and the whole family loves it. Sharpen up your favorite knife and start by slicing 8-10 potatoes and putting them in a large bowl. Then dice 1 good-sized onion into the same bowl. Add about …
