They did post the review https://www.newwestknifeworks.com/products/g-fusion-slotted-fish-spatula

retail link is dead, but the Internet Archive did archive the Nigara Hamono maker page from 2022. I has the (dead) link to the original knife, and shows the original listing price...

I would be interested, except I already have alpha bins. Anyone else reading this: if you are remotely interested in birds, boats, planes, planets, or viewing other far away objects, it's difficult to explain how much better good binoculars like these are than whatever you've looked through before

perhaps too niche. I've had good luck selling and buying binos at astromart (requires paid membership), birdforum (requires some posting/activities before you can sell) and cloudynights (same). I tried accessing the classifies at a couple hunting forums but it required more posting activity than...

we have the Kuhn Rikon Epicurean and I'm quite happy with it. I think garlic does schmooge up the sides, but we use a whole rose of garlic most times we cook so it somewhat gets all over everything anyway

and for some lighter fare… Been reading this on my train commute

sold in another forum I didn't actually expect these to get any traction here :cool:

They are very thin and the blades are very light. Great lasers. I was very excited to get these, but the wa handle and full flat grind just doesn't do it for me. The CTS-BD1N steel is supposed to be very stainless, but it does take on a light patina of sorts. I haven't tried polishing it...

Not kitchen knives, but I promised myself a CRK folder if I got a better-than-expected performance review at work. I couldn’t decide on a size, so I got both (from the classifieds at bladeforums) I have a few benchmade and spyderco folders, but wanted to see what all the sebenza fuss was about

welcome! what knife is your favorite to use during sushi prep? Yanagiba or something else? what length? carbon or stainless? Curious minds want to know!
