Heiji love

Maybe that's how he expects you to get through carrots

Entirely possible, but I love to cut very thin sections of rutabaga for making rutabaga fries. And I've found no better knives than my Heijis for it.

I could see that. I should have clarified that only the first few large cuts (halving, quartering, etc) aren't great. As far as thinner cuts, I'd definitely agree, I haven't tried any gyuto that does it better than a Heiji.

Even the first few cuts are fine for me, but I find that almost any knife wedges in the first few cuts on a rutabaga, so I'm not saying that the Heiji doesn't, I'm just saying that it's not any worse than most anything else, and then once those are done it's just lovely.

I got a cortisone shot on my thumb, today, as well as. Thanks for reminding me of how much it hurts some times, Mucho Bocho, but if I'm lucky that will be a thing of the past.

ER, I hope the cortisone shot gives you some relief. Remember, even though you may not feel the pain as much, you can actually cause more damage to your digit as a result. Please keep us posted. Good Luck

Thanks for the reminder on that, it's certainly easy to forget that less pain does not necessarily mean less damage.
