I keep my Matsumoto KD clean and ready just in case

I cleaned out my nice drawer at work and put my knives in a 5 gallon bucket, now when I need a knife, I go in the garage and look in my bucket full of $10,000 worth of knives

My brother lives with me now he does most of the cooking and uses a glass cutting board

My for my next video is the one-handed onion. To be. released at a later date. Hopefully within a year..

unable to use left hand, bummer. <a href=""><img src="" title="source: imgur.com" /></a>

I was wondering the same thing. Even though I'm out of the game, my interest was piqued when I saw the e-mail from JCK. Considering I'm a big Mizuno and suminigashi fan the prospect of a 270 tempted me. The suminigashi version is a loose translation of KS style. Which isn't a bad thing. The...

If you set the strop up with the surfaces that fit your needs or wants it works well. Who is to say what your wants and needs are? It worked well for me for many reasons. “Opinions are like azzholes, everyone has one but they think each others stink.” I'm reminded why I don't participate...

I almost cringe when people bring up my videos. To put them in context you have to consider they were made when the kitchen knife world was just emerging and there weren't so many "experts". Most if not all were made at 2:00 am after waking and baking all day and drinking vodka for the last 12...

Actually, you are correct. I looked to see what it was and didn't notice there were several steel types. It is the AS version. I just can't keep my shiz straight.

All three are good. Yes, I've owned knives that are better in each category but this knife does well in each. I have the ebony handle which I feel improves the knife. It's also realistically priced. My favorite aspects of the knife are the ease of maintenance and it holds and edge. I still...

At work it's the Fu-Rin-Ka-Zan ZDP-189 Wa Series Wa Gyuto (240). It's also the last knife I purchased for myself. I've noticed they're sold out. They must be somewhat popular. I've taken my old favorites home.

I understand the collector thing but for me it started out as knives for work, then it was about curiosity, then it was an ego thing. Eventually I found myself cooking less, my curiosity was satisfied and realized I didn't need to prove anything. I sold my most expensive knives (Except one.) and...

I don't know if Mr. Kramer is still pissed at me but he shouldn't be. Personally I wouldn't recommend a pre-Salty Kramer. I hope this doesn't sound douchey.

The knife "dropping/throwing" was kind of a signature. Much like dropping the mic. Not to mention I've never been known to baby them. You should see my knife drawers, you'd really cringe.
