All Rectangle March?

I mean, if done correctly, beef should be made out of 100% vegetable matter. You are what you eat. Ipso facto, Beef is vegan.

100% vegetable matter is predominantly carbon. You are what you eat. Ipso facto, eat your swarf and save money on beef.

 

[Justinv]

Are you saying iron + carbon = beef? Swarf slurping is good eats? Its certainly a Lot cheaper!

Some might remember that last year I proudly started my ARM participation, but then dropped out since I visited the forge of Fredrik Spåre to make my own knife there at one of his classes. That knife was a Bunka which is not a rectangle.

This morning I once again found myself at a door with this sign by the side:

Uh-oh... don't worry, I came home with this knife:

@MowgFace et al, I bought the #3 and 4 of these:

I found them to be quite thick. Any idea if this one is slimmer?

If its to try the shape I'd just get a shibazi 208-1 for £20 off aliexpress. Its a good knife for the money and plenty for home use. Just doesn't hold an edge all day in a commercial kitchen.

Tojiro F-632 VG-10 Chinese cleaver. An absolute tank. Stainless cladding over stainless core with a stainless handle. Thinned behind the edge so it’s great for regular prep, but robust enough to use like an axe to get through the hard skin and super dense flesh of the yucca.

Not me. Almost switched to a Nakiri from a Cleaver at one point.

I'd be lying if I said I wasn't missing my Munetoshi and HSC's though. Definitely not "gagging"

I just pulled out my remaining one and realized I bought a #3 and 4, still have the 4. Gonna play around with it again and see if it kicks up a spark.

We keep the #1 stainless and the #4 Carbon on our magnet at all time.

I slightly prefer the #3 because it is just a touch bigger, but we’re talking just barely. Wife preferred the #4 so it wins. The #2 I think is my favorite size.

Added all of the #s in the post above.

@MowgFace I bought the 3 and 4 from that first link I posted titled "carbon steel cleaver" and thought they are a little thick. I'm considering the 2 from the second link, the "vegetable cleaver".

Sorry the #3 and 4 I have are the “Vegetable Cleaver” from the second link.

I wish I bought the #2

Although I’ve also posted this one in „Show your newest knife buy“ I wanna make sure it is in the mother of all rectangle threads, too:

Merion Forge nakiri 192 / 62 / 262.6g with pentagonal handle in stabilized maple and horn ferrule:

And BTW, the sandwich was buttered inside, of course. How could one eat an umbuttered sandwich??? Heathens!!!

I love that kaku profile and I think Merion's knives are about the sexiest out there these days. Wonderful!

 

[Molokai Livin']

I saw the IG post for that Merion and thought the handle was super cool (and also the knife obviously.. he makes some great ones).
