Buy it for Life

A place to share practical, durable and quality made products that are made to last, with an emphasis on upcycled and sustainable products!

Guidelines:

Things that are well-made and durable (even if they won't last a lifetime) are A-Okay!

Unlike that other BIFL place, Home-made and DIY items are encouraged here, as long as some form of instruction is included in the body of the post.

Videos links are not allowed as post titles, but you may use them in a text post.

A limited amount of self-promotion is accepted, IF the item you are selling aligns with this criteria:

  1. The item must be made with sustainable or recycled materials.
  2. If electronic in some way, the item must be open-source.
  3. The item must be user-serviceable (if applicable).
  4. You cannot be a large corporation.
  5. The post must be clearly marked with a [Self Promotion] tag in your title.

I guess pretty much any bread knife is a bifl one, but in the twenty odd years i've had this, i keep thinking to myself that this knife is awesome basically any time i use it. That's why i want to recommend it. When I bought it it was quite cheap too, does not seem to be the case anymore. Is a Victorinox 5.2930.26

French person advice : idk how widespread they are internationally, but Nogent*** (also called "Nogent trois étoiles") has a good one for half the price. My dad has been using one since before I was born, and the guy literally can't live without bread.

Incroyable ! Je ne m'attendais certainement pas à ce qu'un anglais soit installé là-bas, parce que si je me souviens bien, économiquement c'est une des pires régions du pays. Mais la nature y est magnifique.

Je sortirai demain pour acheter un couteau à pain et je l'utiliserai pour vous poignarder si vous appelez encore cet Écossais un Anglais 😂

Mais merci pour la recommandation, toi le Belge

Hahaha sorry about that, the .uk domain threw me off. For what it's worth I like the Scottish accent more than the British one 😅
