Well, if it's a trap, you picked the right bait. It's the only way I'd ever get my hands on a Kato.

So, Steelcrimp has the knife, now. FWIW, my impressions are that it's a beautifully made knife, good geometry, nice balance between hefty and lazer, cuts beautifully. The food release was disappointing, for me, and I've learned that I don't really care for octagonal handles. I would have...

PM me your address. I'm about ready to ship it to you.

Got me curious. This is the cheapest I could find on Amazon. They also have a "clear" one for 16 cents more.

Wow, that was nice of you. Ivan got it, played with it, and now wants to send it to me, but I can't send either Ivan or Chinacats a PM because both of their inboxes are too full. So, until one or both of them "clean up their acts", I can't send them my address.

1267 Nah. Just couldn't think of anything worth saying. One of those days. But, the Oxo Good Grips peeler is my favorite. The straight one. They have, or had, a Y-shaped one, but I hate that design. A bit of a curve would be nice, though. EDIT: Just noticed you said you have a T peeler...

ahem

I agree with daveb. If you're going to spend that much money, get copper. The advantage of copper over other materials is most noticeable in sauce making, where temperature control is crucial. And I'd go 2qt, myself.

I think one of the quotes on the web page nailed it; "It is great to sit out with a plate of gourmet, artisan cheese." And nothing else.

1251 - I was just suggesting a different direction to look in, i.e.; chisels, instead of razors. I'm sure the ones I linked to are crap, but you might be able to harden them with just a propane torch and a cup of water. Or oil.

1249 - How about something like this? https://www.widgetsupply.com/product/BCZ24.html

Yep, that pretty well depicts the frazzled mind of anyone new to researching knife choices. :) SO many opinions and options and contradictions and on and on. But, there is some good information in your mind-dump, as well as some bad. 3 or 4 knives is probably enough for most people, unless...

I can't speak for the others, but I don't mind if the knife makes another stop in Memphis on it's way upriver to The Captain. I'm in no rush. And, I'm in Arizona (AZ). I noticed you had me listed as being in the great state of AS.

Also... John Lennon and Buddy Holly

Are you sure you want/need a DSLR? If you're looking for point-and-shoot, a DSLR can do that, but it's overkill. There are some higher-end point-and-shoot cameras that have excellent image quality, and allow for a lot of manual control. The lower-end ones still produce good images, but limit...

Wait.. there must be some mistake. There are knives in that list that are not nakiris. Did someone hack your list?

1244 - Yikes! PF in one foot is awful. Having it in both feet must be h*ll. I once popped three of the four ligaments in my right ankle at the same time, and they told me the same thing; it would take just as long to heal if they did surgery. That one s*cked because I did it at work, and then...

Macassar (or Makassar) Ebony is considered the highest grade of ebony, although I don't know why. It has brown streaks that people other than me apparently find attractive. I prefer the solid black, myself.

Not "the three Daves", just "three of the Daves". There are at least a few more around here. We're a common species.
