I work at a small community bank that is 100% family owned. The customer service is great, but there are policies in place for exchanging bills and I can under stand WF wouldn’t do it. If you came into my branch I probably would have helped you exchange it, but its case by case. We also have at least 3 tellers working at all times. It costs us money to have those employees as we see many other banks only have 1 or 2, but the service means something to us. If you can, use a community bank over a credit union. Banks pay a lot in taxes that go to the local community especially the schools. Credit Unions are getting by on archaic rules and are actually now buying out community banks which hurts the local tax revenue. One think I can agree on is that WF sucks.

Wow, thank you for the reply’s I thought i would only get a handful.

I currently have a Chicago Cutlery full set I think I got for around $100. The steak knife edges have started to chip so I threw them out. The chef’s knife seems to be chipping slightly as well. I put the steak knives in the dishwasher but always hand washed the chef’s knife. I currently use the sharpening rod it came with. Will this work with the new knife or is it best to get stones or a fixed v sharpener?

After looking through the reply’s I am down to the Wusthof, Shun, and Dalstrong. I am leaning towards the Wusthof as it looks to have the least amount of maintenance?

4 wheelers can get around as long as you dont hit a drift and get high centered, but there are a lot of drifts. Joey Craft and Shane Guy are plowing loops for permies, if you give them a call I would bet they would plow you a path somewhere close to the the current one for some cash.

I just fished there last weekend by the SE ramp, it was so cold and blowing that we hardly moved from the shack with the sleds. When you go, if is a better day you can get around with the sleds and close by with the wheelers. Fishing was tough tho, a few small 8-13″ eyes and a 26″ pike is all we caught. PM me if you want more details.

Mine does the same thing, I just live with it.

Thinking about heading out to Lake Francis Case this coming weekend in South Dakota, to get away from this major cold spell. Anyone have any information, or insights on fishing there. Any information is greatly appreciated.

Thanks
