Yes, that's true in woodworking, but what they are implying is that there are times that this scraper is better than traditional abrasion in sharpening, and that's not at all true. That type of false / misleading logic in advertising does not do much for making their product look like...

The advantage over a pull-through is that you can follow the existing angle and might be slightly less prone to destroying the profile. However, I'd also never want it anywhere near a good quality knife / steel. Not only would it not work well on better / harder steels, but your chance of...

I've seen integrals from Bill, although they are very rare compared to his welded ones. I also saw an integral from Fowler a few years ago. He's improved tremendously every time I see his work (and it wasn't bad to begin with). I bet he could be talked into making one...

I just bought one of these for an Xmas gift for someone that will use it for tools, not knives, but I think that it would would really well for knives and sharpening / kitchen gear. Kind of a hybrid between the open bucket style organizer and a more secure / closeable traditional box...

My GF found both a small and a super large Wagner skillet at estate sales. The large actually had a matching lid, but she didn't get it because they wanted like an extra $10 for it and she didn't have enough cash. Obviously the prices where far below ebay levels. However, even ebay prices...

Shalom and welcome Gera! Are you familiar with TC blades? http://www.tcblades.com/

SPF!

DOOOOOOOD. That's my dream Takeda right there... They don't make em like that anymore... and that handle... oh lordy

I don't own one, but Ive seen them in stores: crap plastic with 50 useless attachments and gimmicky controls. Just like a forshner to perfectly functional knife, im sure the ninja "works" but Id rather use something nicer. As for bendtec, theres no doubt its a nice machine, and i...

I looked for a long time and suffered a lot of duds before ending up with one of those. Im pretty confident in saying its the best of whats currently available. Temp setting is very accurate and can be customized down to the degree.

Williams Sonoma is the exact opposite when it comes to service and return policy. **** Williams Sonoma. Im not sure if SLT's policies apply to online the same as in-store, but its worth checking.

Blender all the way! Its soup season... And after that it will be gazpacho and Margarita season... Mechanically, there's not much difference between the models of VM. AFAIK, they all have the same guts; just different levels of computerized controls. Frrom what I can tell, they are all...

"The human equivalent of the food I make." Hahaha, that's brilliant. One of the funniest things I've seen from SNL in years.

I"m a huge fan of Takeda's knives and I think that some of the criticism on new work is misplaced an due to the frothy hysteria that gets whipped up very easily whenever certain people say anything negative about a knife / maker. I've seen pics of a few and even used one new Takeda and all...

1st and last price drop: $499.99 That's less than the cost of a new one, with basically a free handle (should be +$170ish), thinning, polishing, etching, and sharpening.

That looks really aweaone. Del's work is very distinctive; nice job bringing it out. Is that his 01 / L6 stuff?

http://www.kitchenknifeforums.com/showthread.php/6474-Damascus-Knives-amp-Re-Etchng with a few minor differences: polished much higher on the initial prerp, used acetone instead of alcohol, buffed with slurry impregnated cloth in between etches to insure as stable and even a finish as...

how'd it turn out?

Thanks, and I agree. Most wa-to-western conversions never look quite right or "natural" to me, but this one does.

I was told Matt Stephens made the handle. The ferrule and buttcap is a different material than the body of the handle (which seem unmistakable as black palm, but I'm not sure what the ferrule and cap material is. IT seems to be black w/ black grain that looks more like wood than horn and...
