The knife http://www.hidatool.com/cutlery-and-...ife-210mm-8-25 arrived today. I haven't used it extensively (I'll make dinner with it later), but compared briefly with the more expensive one, that I was exactly like it. https://www.**************.com/kosambw2gy24.html you experts please...

!!!!! not that I know of. this is my new obsession. Great to see another mw member here!!! should I start one there? I was afraid :) I was referring actually to the IRC ....

Interesting what you say about wines....I've really gotten into pretty good wine in the last few years, and one way that I find some to try, rather than just spending somewhat blindly, is to look at reviews in sites such as wine spectator and vinous, and then sometimes purchasing those that...

i'm embarassed to say that I have the Utopias. pretty amazing, actually.

as a beginner, i think that the general question is a great one. My own particular immersion in it is that I got hooked so quickly, and have spent a pretty good amount on some knives to start, I wonder if my beginning ass would even know the difference between a really good expensive knife, and...

Love good headphones. Have a bunch. spent silly money on them last year after becoming resigned to the fact that in this city apt, I can't play loudly at all with my speakers, and so I have to make my own music when listening to headphones, usually. Have some really nice Mr Speakers, and focal...

would rebel against calling it a 'hobby', which can mean narrowly that you don't make money from it, but usually that you're not serious about it. But serious money suck....

my reasoning is pretty incoherent at this point....but i have another one and it seems to attack root vegetables (like turnips) much better than my gyutos, I wanted a really good one, and wanted to buy something from JKI. It probably all boils down to how exciting it is at this point to get a...

funny that there seems to be this connection. I was absolutely fanatical about fountain pens when I was younger, and still have a couple of pretty good ones - (too lazy to try to evoke their names, which reveals that I haven't been using them much in recent years) - a Parker and a Pelikan...

well, that leaves the excuse that I'm broke right now because of this miserable habit....i'll definitely head out there once I can spend some money, because if i went there now I'd just get myself more into debt. It will definitely happen.

I haven't even received my items yet: https://www.japaneseknifeimports.com/collections/gesshin-kagekiyo/products/gesshin-kagekiyo-240mm-blue-1-wa-sujihiki and https://www.japaneseknifeimports.com/collections/sharpening-accessories/products/diamond-flattening-plate, but I wanted to comment on...

I'm new at all of this (knives, cutting boards, even good cookware), and I figured that as long as I had succumbed to the lure of nice kitchen knives, i should get a good cutting board to replace the one that I had bought on Amazon years ago. I wind up with this...

Definitely mean to...i'm without wheels, and I'm using the somewhat inconvenient transportation as an excuse to save my $$$ at this point. I mean, I have so overspent at this in just my first few weeks. It does not bode well for my retirement.....

new to knives, but it's great to see intelligent posts about basketball here. some comments, probably somewhat incoherent: I'm old enough to have seen the last years of Wilt, and while I didn't follow basketball for some years in between, have really gotten into the warriors in the last few...

I've browsed a bit, but wanted to sing the praises of The Boardsmith and Japanese Knife Imports. I guess I need to post here first to prove I'm human first. I sometimes have my doubts about that, but you know, you need to pretend to get anywhere on the internet. If you had told me a year ago...
