Last night the guy that made my subway sub said he ate 20,000 cal. a day. I gave him 3 or 4 outs on it being a mistake thinking he ment 2,000. He explained to me that he has had extensive leg, and joint surgeries so he exercised a lot, running 16 miles a day. I can see him needing more...

Happy B-day man. It has been a very hard one on ya, glad to see you make it to this one.

A few years ago when I decided to look for something other than a kitchen, I worked for a fortune 100 company. I was offered stock at the time. Sold off most of my stocks when needing money a few years back (kept 1 so I could buy more later on) The last 6 mo. I kept thinking I should buy...

I have been wanting to start a pass a round for a while. But I don't want to send off my gyuto's yet. (afraid I will miss them) So here it is. If you have wanted to try skd steel, or even a Nakiri. Here is your chance. I will post pics later but as for now it's this one from john...

Just a heads up, 330mate has put Tanaka Blue steel Nakiri knife on sale. http://www.ebay.com/itm/160774098981 Its not a auction so I can post this here. Not bad for 46.40 before shipping.

As I am getting better at sharpening I have noticed that I have no mud anymore on stones I used to not see the stone anymore, and have to clean off the mud. I am wanting to try to do some stone polishing and am curious if there is something written here, or a vid. that can be of help. I don't...

I got a e-mail yesterday about a new honing rod. I kinda like its potential. http://www.newwestknifeworks.com/product/knife-accessories/knife-sharpeners/ruby-sharpening-steel/4012 Ruby instead of diamond coating. I like the idea if it is like a glass or ceramic, but if it is like a...

When I bought my newest addition I was blown away by the edge. It just happens to be a Carter. He does a 1k to 6k when sharpening. This is making me want to go with a higher stone. I right now am running up to a 4k combo stone and am looking to go just higher. I am thinking of going to...

I was looking at some Yoshihiro knives, and came across Yasuki Aoko as the steel. I went looking on zknives and found nothing. Is this something new or just a rename. Inquiring mind here is wondering.

I have been sharpening knives here steadily for the last couple of mo's. I took in the work knife that I did to see how well I could get a edge on it. My boss said he has some knives that need sharpening (Forschner). For a joke he threw in this 15lbs cleaver (my guess on the weight). I...

The other day I was taking about how I hated the knives at work. I (not the only 1 either) had tried many times to get this some kind of edge. I was on my way out when I saw it and thought "lets see if I can get some kind of edge on that". It was so badly miss treated the pull through left...

So last night I was looking to see if a certain company had put a new video out on their new series of knives coming out. someone had a flaming post about the company's knives and how bad the steal the is. He even went on to say how the handles can't stand up in the dishwasher. Trying to...

I have been on a roll. I bought a flat v shaped blade that went straight to a hollow ground edge. At first I thought the weight was why I didn't like it, but it was the edge. It would shave hair with out a problem, and start on a tomato without a hitch. But as soon as it hit the blade face...

This is something I always seem to bring up when Leonardo DiCaprio has a movie coming out. Who is the actor or actress you don't like but end up seeing their movie('s) for some reason or another? for me its Tom Cruise, He always seems to play a roll 1 way, but until Interview with the...

I have had this knife for a few weeks now and have fallen in love with it. Today I had the opertunity to put this knife through a good workout. It all started when our kitchen manager forgot to order some precut red potato's for St. Pat's day (we serve them with our corned beef). I offered to...

We talk about German and Japanese knives all the time. I was wondering what knives are mass produced in the u.s.. So I did a search and ended up with ... http://www.sabaknife.com/volcano-knife-price.html http://newwestknifeworks.com/Catalog/Kitchen-Knives--Fusionwood-Line/ I have a...

I a few mo. ago bought a "chef" knife from ebay. It has a beautiful handle, and good looking damascus blade. I got it for 20$ and got what I think is a Bowie knife. Its the thickest knife I own, it wedges about 2cm into a potato. I was wondering what would be the differences in the 2?

I have been thinking what I wanted to say here. I have been a cook on-off for the last 20 years. I first noticed that I hated my knife when I was doing a chuck drop in a slaughter house, packing plant. I would have to cut the shoulder tendon and let the ribs and everything else drop to a...
