There will be more such chances to acquire my cutlery... I have only officially put down my wishes for who the dog and M1 Garand should go to, so take your best shot.

Reports of my demise have been greatly exaggerated... I'm fine and the false morels around here are quite tasty!

Because I found a great deal of conflicting information and spent a good bit of time asking questions, including those with university degrees in biology and some who have eaten these species regularly for many years. Finally, I got up the courage. I will admit to writing down my desires for the...

About half an hour ago. Only problem so far, I want more. To clarify: There are several sub species of Gyrometra. They look somewhat alike, but have differences in their biochemistry... But even the most toxic varietals are eaten regularly in some cultures (suomi!) when properly prepared...

I couldn't find any morels the last couple of days, but there WERE some nifty looking FALSE morels. Been told they're dangerous by old guys. On line, alternately listed as "poisonous" or "edible & choice??? *** is that about. Are these REALLY going to poison me with monomethyl hydrazine (which...

I trimmed just about a kg from the 3 roasts, put it in same curing mix less the juniper & allspice but with thyme & garlic for salt pork too. Made salt pork with dry salt/spices recently, was good but WAY too salty, had to extend dish until salt was right (was a batch of hoppin' John, black eyed...

Michi, anything worth doing is worth OVER doing, right?! Cleaning out the deep freeze and somehow I had five half pork tenderloins in there, ***? WELL, I know how to handle the oversupply... So, a bit over 15 lb. before trimming is going to become polish cured... And I have a new, never used...

FaceBook put this Kickstarter in front of me this morning- From past experience, my first thought on virtually ANYTHING promoted on FakeBawk is "scam". Curious about this idea regardless. Anyone know of this? Thoughts???

Yes, I too thought of the rasp girl. I also wondered why this knife appears to be mostly coated with spray on truck bed liner?

I tried that & understand... But if ya gots ta put a bag over her head first, does ya REALLY wanna hit that?

Apparently he did this in 440C? No mention of HT, RHC, etc..

My first thought, God, that's ugly. Second thought: Looks uncomfortable and heavy? Then, I saw it was offered at the bargain price of only USA $1,950.00. After that, I laughed so hard my dog became quite concerned. Then, I realized that at least this dude IS making knives, what have I done...

Thanks for the information! Apparently Napoleon Dynamite has read the maker's book & posted a glowing review on Amazon... (Edit) BLOODY HELL. You have sent me down another rabbit hole... https://studyingjapaneseswords.com/tag/o-suriage/

I'm looking at the Gerber "Pixie" field knife and the "Miming" steak knife in comparison. Not as close as I initially was thinking, these look more ergonomic/hand filling. Wonder what the steel is? From several eBay advertisements, whoever made these sold them under various trade or distributor...

Yes, the freezer is filled to capacity... And I need to make more of the "top shelf" spice mix! My sister has now started making preserved lemons and I've seen her post images of her own batches of tangia on social media, this stuff is catching. Thanks again-

Looks like someone in Japan was riffing off of the early Gerber knives? Marked with western script, anyone know who the maker was?

Thank you all for your input and guidance. I can do a LOT of things now I had no clue about before I started hanging out here and asking questions-

Re: Shimizu, charcoal for fast powder, hemp & etc.? Corn cobs. Same idea as hemp stalks but no potential for arguments with federal AHJs about unlicensed handling parts of a "drug plant".

The old Monty Python sketch might be involved?
