She has a whole set - The most used are the 2-3 I listed above to supplement / replace where needed.

The boss man put me to the test to find his wife a set (which I swiftly shot down) of knives for Christmas. Right now I am thinking at a minimum a gyuto and a 150-160ish petty and probably a paring. Maybe even throw a Santoku in the mix too but doubt it. I haven't bought much stainless and...

I have been playing with Monk Fruit as a sweetener and 1/2 Almond Milk. Problem is not enough fat/sugar so it freezes solid. Haven't added gelatin or alcohol yet but that is my next step in experimenting with making it softer.

I got a Marko years ago and it was one of my better purchases. Pull the trigger, you won't regret it. I broke a duck down with mine just last night.

I probably jump back and forth between user and semi-collector - Guess I would say semi-collector now.

I’ve been on the list since 2012 soooo.....

I will take one of each Dave

We have one. It works pretty well with venison jerky but I prefer whole muscle jerky's personally. We generally will use our scrap for sausage or hot sticks (thin sausages about 1/2 to 3/4"). I agree with using powdered milk. The other part is finding the sweet spot for texture and not...

Dave - Do you want to check and see if it's back in stock? I will email Maxim to see if he shipped mine out yet.

I grabbed one of the 240's. Interested to see how it compares to my 210.

I was on my phone with a 240 in the cart and decided to switch over to my computer to finish the deal. Bad call on my part as it was gone by the time I booted up.

I have this Wusthoff one which I was able to pick up cheap due to some damage in shipping. The only problem with this one is that I tend to gravitate toward knives with a little more belly and you may have to widen some of the slots out. There is a cleaver and large gyuto slot which will hold...

You sir have never been to Gary Indiana obviously. Welcome.

I was extremely impressed with the Big Joe last year when they had a deal going at Costco, but ended up going with the Vision Pro at Home Depot because I had a bunch of gift cards I had to burn up. Had a slight issue with some air leakage but one of the joys of working for a mechanical...

I don't save all of the grease, but save enough to occasionally cook with for me. My wife and daughters don't love the smokiness. I like to do the trinity or just onions / mushrooms with bacon fat. Nice that my freezer is full of Neuske's goodness also.
