So, this is a 50/50 grind on a lefty knife?

Does anyone have a mobile sharpening service they would recommend in LA? Ideally it would be someone who does not use a powered sharpening system. Sharpening continues to be a skill with which I struggle to become competent and I'd love to find a reliable sharpener who can maintain my knives...

I am looking for someone to come sharpen my knives. Anyone got recommendations for mobile sharpening services in LA?

I had a poor experience with Huntspoint due to the expense for them to ship to the west coast. I can try to hook you up with my contacts on the Westcoast but most of them are in southern cali. Let me check with my guy and see if he can help make a connection.

Really interested. Requiered question from a lefty- Does the knife have a right hand bias or is it neutral?

I very highly recommend not getting a wire bristle grill brush, and especially not a cheap one. Bristles can fall out of the brush, get stuck on the grates, end up stuck to your food and pit someone in the hospital. Use a ball of aluminum foil as a grill grate scraper instead. It is cheap.and...

I'm amazed it took nearly a half hour to move that.

I've been trying to sell my wife on a Texas bbq tour / pick up my custom pit trip for at least 15+ years. There was a chance before kids. I hadn't really planned on an offset stick burner and would have been happy with the LSG Mini IVC and the Santa Maria, but burning wood is fun. I ended up...

You buying used? Every time I got close to buying a used offset from Texas the shipping cost was prohibitive. Last time I got a quote it was like $1250 to get it to So Cal. When I researched how much to drive there, rent a big enough trailer and drive it home it was even more. My problem...

A question, just purely for interest/knowledge. Why is the 150 petty so different from the rest?
