Holiday Treats

[DanHumphrey]

Heh, the pedals are so expensive because they ARE the Powertap pedals, replacing a stack of Powertap wheels. Because of getting enough carbon wheels that it didn't make sense. At least she's an Ironman and qualified for Kona again this year.

Sorry for the threadjack. If I hadn't just gotten the Sukenari AS, the grey steel might have been mine - very nice work.

KQ'd again?! What a beast, congratulations to her! My fastest IM distance time is 10:15 which doesn't get me too close to a KQ in my age group.

Wow. Impressive.

Too avoid more cluttering of this thread, I created a thread over in Off-Topic to brag on my new wife (it's our one-week anniversary today, actually!) for those who are interested.

Very cool Ian! Also FWIW I'm always ready to play "find the subliminal ***** cat" - Notice how I refrained from saying anything overt!!

The parer with carbon fiber and spalted tamarind. The matching gyuto will be available later this week.

 

[Furminati]

That's gonna look nice with that tamarind

 

[Haburn]

Thanks, I picked up the tamarind specifically for these two.

Will you give me the secret "prior to posting online" PM if it gets completed ?!?!?!?! :bliss::bliss::spiteful::stinker::knife::lol2::lol2:

 

[Haburn]

For sure. I shoot ya PM if I make one. :knife:

200mm Line knife. The knife you can pull out to do anything and never be frustrated with your choice. Or a Bird's Beak pairing knife.

 

[Haburn]

Good input Rob! What heel height do you guys like for a 200mm line knife? Around 40mm?

 

[Furminati]

42-44 for me 🙂. I prefer knuckle clearance. I don't personally get the 210 petty for a line knife. I find it somewhat awkward, especially if you have to bust out some quick prep lol. But that's just me. Lots of guys swear by it. Cough integral westerns monosteel/stainless or San Mai cough lol

 

[Rob_Sutherland]

44mm heel on a 210 is getting close to just being a gyuto though! At least to me it is. I think 40mm is about perfect.

To me a line knife works as a good but not perfect suji, gyuto and petty all at once. The knife that isn't the best at anything but is substantially better than any more focused knife at the things that knife wasn't focused at.

 

[Furminati]

I think what rob said, most people would agree with completely. I was just being selfish lol
