Is that Dave throwing up after eating too many fried pickles and fried Oreos? If so - welcome to the club! Pickle brine shots are where it’s at. They’re absolutely amazing as alcohol chasers especially vodka. Even better, they help replenish lost mineral content during drinking. Although, and I...

Into "it" as in "stabbing people" ? lol Hey man, thanks for sharing, that was a good read.

As much as I enjoy kombucha, jun is taking over my habits, and at like $2 more per bottle daaaimn. I find the wild tonic jun to be super tasty and my favorite is the Blueberry Mint one, tonight I tried this one for a change. That cloying dryness of turmeric seems to really shine through here...

I was gifted a wok and an outdoor propane turkey fryer looking stand with a cast iron heating element by a nice Japanese gal from my old neighborhood. I destroyed the wok after about a year of use, just couldn’t keep up with the rust ( I think this was a very low end wok, or I couldn’t figure...

Dammit dude. It’s 10:30pm, I’m going through my 20+boxes of books in the garage trying to weed out the stuff I won’t use or care for such as old college textbooks and random dummy cook books. This concept hits close to home though, so of course I need to get this book, and what do you know: Rene...

Halcyon forge seems to be all the rage right now haha :) that is an extremely beautiful blade. Yes, I will agree- some of the micromesh cuts very slow and going all 9 steps with it from 1500-12000 takes a few cups of coffee and a quiet evening with plenty of peaceful music in the background...

Random stuff from the fridge hot plate dinner tonight. No shame here, used a leftover potsticker sauce from freezer potstickers and everything. Gained a love for Madeira from reading James Peterson, so now it goes into any stewed/ braised dish I make in order to hit that nice sweet note. Smoked...

Are you working with an S grind or something of that nature? I haven’t had much exposure to cool stuff like that yet.

Holy crap that Tadafune is tall! How does the handle feel/ feedback?

I would like to second Micro Mesh, it’s really expensive and works really well. I would also like to add that mirror polishing to 12000 grit creates too sticky of a knife. Not much fun to unglue cucumbers and apple sliced from a knife.

Fancy butter knife! Also really like the look and feel of the wood bowl/ spoon.

Matfer sugar pump with copper tube. Used once. $120 shipped. Trades considered.

Don’t see anyone talking about the inverted belly curves one can find for sale on the BST thread :)

That walnut saya is sick.

A Takeda deba. Peels the face off a hog head in one piece. Cuts through joints with ease, etc. The only knife I regret selling on the BST.
