    Gyuto heel height

    It is to keep the handle rough and grippy. I had an interesting exchange with @Ochazuke (thanks for the education) about the exact same photo [#65, #71, #86]. I was off in my original post (#65)... But I still think there is a performative element to that level of wear in the handles.... or...

    High Grit Edges... Yeah Let's Talk About Them Some More. :)

    I dont know about 'good'... that is really a matter of taste! It is also task dependent. For example, you might not want an insanely sharp knife if you are removing silver skin... If your knife is 'too' sharp, you might find yourself slicing through the membrane frustratingly frequently. On the...

    Shig. Kasumi DIY

    Indeed... I wrote to the Iizuka family... I said: "sick knives bro... but suboptimal HRC. For a knife in that price category they should be +2HRC higher. Trust me. Edge retention...." Then I participated in a twitter war and started putting up posters around my neighborhood (on top of missing...

    KKF counts to a million

    #2,556 Yeah... after I read your post I read a few articles. I figured it had to be some tragic missadventure. He was only ~55 and in good shape! I knew he was central to Gymkhana and the Hoonigan media empire. But I didnt know he co-founded DC shoes! He certainly achieved a lot in his...

    KKF counts to a million

    #2524 Happy new year KKF! Same stones? As far as I know: no. There is some chance it is the same manufacturer making different stones specific to each vendor (e.g. thickness, backing material, perhaps even binder composition)... but this is said in recognition that the thought is plausible...

    What are we watching lately?

    We watched the first two episodes this evening. I came here to see if anyone recommended it! I am glad you guys did! Aside from being perfect subject matter for KKF... they have paced the plot well so far. I enjoy that they arent spoon feeding us the backstory with unrealistic exposition. But I...

    This does wonders for brakes. Sounds like you are on the right track. If you want to maintain good braking feel/performance, unfortunately bleeding is one of those routine maintenance tasks you need to do. It is worth learning how to do at home. There are lots of good video tutorials online. If...

    Unpopular opinions

    It is a pretty diverse group! I am sure most vegans won't eat insects for the same reasons they dont eat other animals. It depends how far down evolutionary tree an individual is willing to consider animal consciousness/pain and welfare thresholds (or other philosophies). I can certainly...

    Belgian Blue Whetstone

    Did you ever watch Outback E.R.? I liked it. Those b@stards were tough as nails. Patients would drive two or three hours to get treatment at the hospital. They were pretty stoic about their injuries as well.

    Belgian Blue Whetstone

    Hehe... Ozzie slang? Clearly I thought it was a good idea to ham it up in that post... I must say... did enjoy rereading it! Thanks for the reminder :) I also think that became KKF post-zero for "chucking a sickle" (e.g. [1] and [2]).... noting that the 'i' at the end of sickie can look like...

    Ummm... I forgot to take non-stick pan off the gas for 6 hours...

    Jesus! There is a gas crisis... man!! Pity it wasnt cast iron... that would have just been additional seasoning 🤪 Seriously though... as @DavidScubadiver said... good for you for trying to save the pan. Many others would have just binned it!
