Like the title says...who is your favorite forum member? And why? For me I love it when Keithsaltydog posts. He always appears out of nowhere and with the force of Hulk Hogan dropping an elbow off the corner of the ring. Sometimes he brings up “thin carbon blade for banquet service” and he’s often seen on the prowl in beginner knife threads. He’s a trip. I love it. Who is your fave?
 
Most of you guys are pretty solid, I would probably lean to jeff(forget his user name, but he's sold me some nice blades at nicer prices), Jon and Randy are also amazing vendors who have taught me a lot about steel and sharpening, after that it falls to the regulars, I really wish we had a chat box so we could do more small talk, I am guessing a lot of you guys are solid people.
 
@brooksie967 is my spirit animal. Born ‘83. A Dad. A stone nerd.
A coffee nerd. A food nerd. And someone I’m proud to call a mate. Why just today he said he’s giving me his Ashi Honyaki.

Ok who ever gives me a honyaki is my new favorite, I also accept anything by bill burke and westren shigefusa kitejis lol
 
Everyone on here sounds like smart and passionate people. Much love. So like.
 
Hard to say.. Sooo many of you are in my list. Just to name a few... Son for his amazing storys. Miss that guys contributions. Salty, For his no nonsense comments and straight shooting. He also is not around as much any more. TK, although some of his comments bruised my tender ego early on. He has always shared his experience and knowledge freely.
Mark from Burl Source. Always love seeing his posts.. Im a BURL JUNKY!!! Im drawing a blank on his name. But there was a guy who shared vintage images of cutlery, historical pictures of old factory's and cool stuff, and seemed to always add a image or two of a beautiful woman. lol Devin and his Son's posts have also been a highlight for me. and so many of you over the years have added substance and made this site a quality place for me... Thinking about it. I could go on and on.

All in all. Its the group as a whole that makes this the best kitchen forum on the web!

Steeley! He was a great contributor.

I'd have to say Son, hope he stops in again soon. And I miss knifrknerd!
 
Yes, there’s a lot of fellas that went MIA. Escaping by hopping over the KKF security fence only to never be heard from again. Hope Dardeau and Brainsausage are doing well.
 
Based on Instagram info, Son just opened a restaurant and appears to be working harder then ever. Hopefully he will find time to post again in the future, but I think IG is his main vehicle now. And speaking of IG, Chef Niloc (Colin) has resurfaced.

Knifyknerd was a big loss for me, as I have not seen him elsewhere either. Salty was also a big loss, but thankfully he pops back in every now and then. I definitely miss some of the makers who have dropped off, but most publish on IG, etc. so they are not really gone (just gone from KKF).

There are far too many great people here for me to pick a favorite. Many contribute in varied ways, as there are people here knowledgeable in many things besides knives and sharpening. Frankly after 6+ year playing with high-performance knives and sharpening, I come to KKF more for social reasons (and the cooking/ recipe stuff), and to see work from custom makers.
 
Dardeu was Great. I’ll never forget that he sent me a Shig to trey when I was just a newbie and basically had exchanged 2 messages with him ...

Now on to the least favourite .... nah, just kidding LOL
 
Otto and Jeremy for chatting up the wonders of natural stone. In that same vein, I enjoy when Asteger or Vinster make rare appearances. Wish they'd come back to us. Really though, I've had very few bad interactions on this forum.

Oh I also really appreciate The Captain's nakiri fetish!
 
My favorite member was, without a doubt, Zwieifel, Danny Owen. Unfortunatly he died far too young. I did not know him personally, but in all his pots he came around as a really, really nice guy. If you have been around this forum for some time, you’ll know how he stepped up in a very bad situation and did something truly amazing. Always kind and nice, always constructive... So sad he is not around anymore

So true and an even sadder loss for those fortunate enough to have met him.
 
Lots of good ppl here… hard to say just one. I'd like to give a shoutout to Jon Broida for a number of reasons, including but not limited to:
Incredibly knowledgable about everythang
Willingness to help answer questions and not oversell to members new to the japanese knife market
My favourite… calling out know-it-all's who spread misinformation or theories as if it's an established truth (hope it's okay to say that here)
The list goes on…
 
My name is Paul Revere. Chef Doom could not accept this humble award bestowed upon him by KKF, so I am here to accept this great acknowledgement of his brilliance and charming attitude. Below is the speech I prepared in his honor. Hopefully it lives up to his great and prestiges reputation.

"I just want to thank my family for their support in my career. To my lovely lady that stays by my side no matter how many crazy female calls she gets in the middle of the night with their wild accusations of infidelity and late night dirt.

Also to my cousin for finally paying me that $25 he has owed me since the 8th grade.

I also want to give a quick shout out to the following individuals. Without you my success could not be possible.

To Michale Lee for finally escaping that gulag after 8 months of beatings and hard back breaking labor. Hope you can make it back into the states. Looking forward to your smoked eggplant and seamoss dish.

To keithsaltydog for always getting you confused with Salty.

To JBroida for serving that 5 year house arrest at the Playboy Mansion for "Failure To Sell A Blue #1 Honyaki To A Frail, Elderly, Shaky Hand US Senator", I got some work for you when you get out.

To Panda for providing those 2 Petabytes of of porno. My life is finally complete.

To the forum member that will remain anonymous that spent a night with me engaged in S&M that left her crying in shame in order to acquire a Shigefusa that I did not own and never provided, thanks for the memories.

To El Pescador for finally taking me to the Donkey Show over the border after 9 months of begging and bribes of alcohol. Till this day I cannot eat a Hot Dog with my eyes open.

To Wild Boar for always displaying my Animal Spirit. Keep snorting bruddha.

To DaveB and the rest of the Admistritators, I am not, I repeat, AM NOT responsible for the Ransomware viruses that will appear on your home computers on January 22 at 3:00 PM for the amount of .5 Bitcoins.

For all of you who referred to me as a Troll, may you slowly lose your tastebuds and sense of smell.

For those who I did not mention, your names just wasn't that important.

A Big Thanks To All Of You. Have A Safe Drive Home. May God Bless Kitchen Knife Forums, And No One Else!"
