happy thanksgiving!!! so much to be grateful for! Hope you all have a wonderful holiday weekend, no matter which day or whether you get to celebrate at all

thank you!! yes, that is the knife that gave me a whole new perspective on both cutlery and cooking! I've got a few pics taken (and also of some of my JNats) but still haven't gotten around to a photobucket site. been battling a flu since early saturday morning and finally feeling somewhat...

been enjoying cigars for years, and pipes nearLy as long (i too followed the natural progression..."to save money" hahaha yeah that worked out well!! limited editions aside, my favorite morning cigar is an El Rey Del Mundo Choix Supreme (via Habanos SA) and my favorite Evening cigar is a...

love flyfishing, and love salmon!!! I'm no chef - but I do make a decent gravlox I learned a number of years ago from an ex GF. - tho I usually alter the amounts of items each time as I experiment, or depending on amount of salmon..... also I've only ever written 1 recipe (my grandmother's...

this is brilliant! I don't have much to offer but will certainly support it anyway I can!

that's pretty neat Dave. again I've got a lot of research to do regarding patinas and carbon steel. but I can see that being otentially useful as a marketing tool - especially if you are able to get very detailed with it :)

thanks Hax - and I've already got a sense of what i'm in for.... anyone up for trading for pipes, straight razors, Xixing teapots or flyrods? wink wink (kidding, srt of, well I know I've got 45 days to post in BST LOL) Thank you Sir! again, it was quite an eye opener, as is running...

thank you!!! when the auction started I knew I was going to get the knife - no matter the cost. it was all for a great cause, afterall, and though I have a good set of knives (despite being clueless how to care for them -thankfully they too are stainless) I decided that this knife would be...

thanks Jim!! so far so good. a bit overwhelmed, slightly intimidated but uber-excited to be here :)

tack!

probably for the best! I've got a St Bernard who is as tall as a mini-horse (and a Bernese Mtn dog and Alsatian/German Shepherd) but it's the Saint I worry about, he can literally reach the kitchen counters without much effort WHILE standing on all four paws! - and when I adopted him...

oh my!!!! spectacular!! Well done indeed! "a place for everything and everything in it's place" your Pug is way cute too, I once had a Russian family in the apartment above me in LA who had 12 of them (yes 12!!) such personality! Speaking of, glad to see you are hanging those...

thanks Eamon! arf! arf! arf!

thanks Dave, for the welcome and invite! and don't I know it!! but at least I'll be in good company! hehe

:ubersexy: all of them... tho I must say the Ohira Renge is just incredibly gorgeous, and I love the Hakka lines and the Nakayama coloration SWEET!!! Again, I'll be sure to post some pics over the weekend :)

HA!! well, it's all fiat currency anyhow and tho JNats may not be gold or silver, they do a much better job putting an edge on things than bullion does - AND the value only seems to be rising. how's that for rationale? :) yep I'm hooked!

well that's one for the ole bookmarks! thanks Dave!!!

as someone who's completely clueless when it comes to carbon steel (aside from what I've learned in using straight razors, in which only some of my vintage blades have developed any patina at all over many many years - I just keep em dry and/or oiled to prevent rust) this option is attractive to...

I do recognize a number of names from B&B here :) B&B got me through some rough times this summer, truly a great group of folks... generous to a fault (if that is possible) I am very excited to join KKF! I must say the wheels in my head are turning about what shaving gear I should put up...

Alas, I left SoCal in 2000, as my father was having serious health issues here in PA (he still is, so I am grateful to have moved 'home' to care for him, as much as I may miss Los Angeles) - plus by then I had long given up on the record industry as I saw the internet coming like a freight train...
