This seems to be the closest applicable section of the forums. I didn’t see any prior topics on the subject, so I figured I may as well learn something from the hive mind today. For the last 3-4 years, I’ve been gobbling down every video on omakase I find. From irritating YouTube reviewers...

I figured given how many fun toys the community has, someone has had the opportunity to use one of these bad boys. Thinking of what was originally on kickstarter as the Arden, now the GE profile smart indoor smoker. It’s been in development for a year or two by these YouTubers for a few years...

So on cranking out a few blocks of curry roux, I’m astonished at how quickly a can of S&B goes by. I figure, like in many things if you’re using fresher, higher quality spices you can probably make a better quality product, even if it costs a bit more. Has anyone ever given making a Japanese...

Does anyone have experience with these? Specifically the white binder ones, I’ve seen the variants listed by Tosho, but the white ones sound to be more resistant to dishing per the advertising blurb, and they make no mention of having a refinishing wafer. They also seem to be both larger in...

So an interesting video popped up on Reddit, an old cliffstamp video showing a method of sharpening without purposefully creating a burr. He starts off by destressing the fatigued metal with a few light perpendicular cuts into the stone to remove the existing apex (like everyone’s favorite...

I expect this to be an absolute wall of text driven by hours to think on a topic during a long late night drive. I advise not reading it. In the quest to finish off my stone collection with some ultimate stone, I like most of ya’ll have come across the super vitrified stones a few sellers...

Well folks, the robotic revolution is upon us. The terminators are (clumsily) coming for our kitchens. At a low, low price of just north of $300,000 you too, could purchase an entire kitchen replacement robot that turns you into a human slave sous chef while it takes on the the worst job of...

I should do something logical this holiday season, like take the time to photograph and measure my collection so I can prune it. But that sounds like the opposite of hoarding knives and it sounds like effort. I also sharpen 1-2 knives every 2-3 months, so OBVIOUSLY that means I need to chase...

Saw this for the first time, maybe old news to most of you but I found it to be a rather bizarre, but very creative take on the standard guided rod system. From what it looks like, blade goes spine downwards on a flat surface. Press blade flat against one of the two angle guides. Take what is...

I should say this isn’t really a recommend me thread, just looking to see if anyone has moved family from “danger to the collection” to the promised land where knives are treated properly. 🙃 Dealing with folks who can put microchips in a kiwi on a regular basis. Which I don’t mind fixing for...

(Hopefully this is in the right format) Looking to buy any and all of Cris’s stones that are floating around on peoples stone racks. I know he had a few drops of them many years ago on his own site and the other forum, so I figure there’s one or two out there unused and taking up space. This...

Hey folks! Been lurking here for a few years osmotically absorbing knowledge like a soaker stone. Been collecting pocket knives for 3-4 years now, and one sharp n shiny obsession inevitably leads to another, so chef knives the last year or so. Not as much into sharpening, as I treat it more as...
