I've got no problems with the moths where i live, but whenever i go home i can see them everywhere, even in stuff kept in closed jars. They really like small grainy food items (seeds, nuts, seasonings), wholemeal flours, pasta, etc. (I do assume that some of the flours/semolina/polenta...

Sometimes when my work knives edge aren't too bad just need a bit of touch and i cannot be bothered to go to the kitchen and do a proper wet stone sharpening i just pull out my Naniwa Jyunpaku have a few strokes and job done. That particular stone works rather well even when dry. I really...

As an agency chef i work at many places and at one of the recent ones i have come across this knife. It says 'Nirey' and some kanji i couldn't decipher. Haven't found any info about it apart from the obvious san mai construction and 'Nirey' who makes I.O. Shen, so this knife could be a...

Hi, Has anyone got any experience with a (kitchen) knife made out of Sleipner steel? Would be interested. Thanks in advance!

Has anyone any experience with them? They are making knives from pretty much every common japanese steel. What i am really interested in is the ones made out of 'Powdered Daisu Stainless Japanese Steel'. What is that R2 / SRS-15 / something else?
