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...

This lasted 4 whole minutes.

Why does the Swedish navy but bar codes on all their ships? Because they scan-di-navian

Grills/Smokers - I have too many, will buy more in the future and always researching and learning about stuff. Even ones I would never plan to buy. All my family and friends call when they want to get a new gas grill and I help them through the process, even though I don't use a gas grill at all.

Weber wins for versatility and accessories. PK will last a lot longer in tough environments.

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

How high temperature can you pellet pooper go? If it can go up to 450 plus I would do it like you said at 250 ( or even 170-200 for first 2 hours if you want it smokier) till 110, pull and cover/rest while you crank the smoker up as high as it will go. Then 10-20 minutes at high temp to sear...

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?

My Dalman AEB-L 240 laser is amazing

August is a pretty good time for whale watching. Go to Dana Point Beach and the aquarium. Legoland is great for that age group. The zoo and wild animal park are both great for little ones too.

I chose to have Dave Martell make my 270 suji a k-tip. Purely esthetic, but looks badass

I have what I consider 3 classes of knives. 1st is sentimental knives - first knife I got in cooking school, Shun Kramer gyuto I got for my wedding, etc. Some I like and use, but most just sit there. I'd never sell 2nd is functional knives. Some are beaters, some are nicer. All get used...

I ended up getting a pair of Ernst Wright lefty kitchen shears. They are expensive for sure but are fantastic. It is basically the only option for high end lefty kitchen shears I have found.
