I am wondering what you all use for espresso cups? Demitasse are too small and cappuccino cups maybe a bit too large for the drink I make most often. I purchased a couple of cortado glasses and like them so far but think I could do better...

The Tour de France is my favorite sporting event. It is finally underway! I’ll admit I usually fall behind and get caught up on rest days. Nice because there are rarely spoilers at work. Let’s discuss!

My wife and I are celebrating our 15th wedding anniversary this week. We are looking to gift ourselves an espresso machine for the occasion. I am beginning the search now and have been around here long enough to know the right answer is going to come from KKF. Budget tops out around $1500. That...

This is what was in my counter when I got home today. Marco parer vs aluminum... “I am not saying we can’t use custom knives on sheet pans. I just think we should limit the number of customs that we use for these tasks. Only so when we cut other foods we will have knives available that will be...

I am looking to purchase or trade for a straight razor. I would love something out of Sheffield for sentimental reasons but am wide open generally. I am sick of bic. Ready to upgrade my routine. I am pretty unaware of the details of razors so I am hoping whomever responds is well intentioned. At...

I got this as a gift from a relative. It was given to her by a chef. She said she isn’t a butcher (she is a pastry chef) and passed it on to me. She is Japanese and said it was a Chinese knife. It is a heavy and thick bone type cleaver that was sharp with pretty large burr on it. I am assuming...

I have a new home kitchen. There is no hood to vent outside just the microwave recirculating fan thing. I am smoking out this kitchen all the time.

I went to Japanese Chefs Knife and couldn’t help but notice a KS style Mizuno line of gyutos. Has anyone written a review of one of these knives yet? It is certainly an interesting development that I totally missed. My favorite knife is basically a Masamoto KS profile with a grind based on the...

I realize I haven't been around in a while. Well, I just had a baby. He was born on the 15th and his name is Otto. If I recall it was shortly after my first kid was born that I started lurking around here so this may mean I'll be around more. Anyway, here is a quick pic of a future Knife Knut.

Bought June 2015. Unused and never assembled. Here's the story. I bought this with grand aspirations. Sold a lot of great knives to fund it. Electrical project to get this going in my garage snowballed into a major obstacle not worth spending my way out of. I am willing to consider...
