    Echerub's BIG knife blowout - there's gonna be something you want :)

    Hi folks! I haven't been here for some time, principally because I had to stay away in order to stop buying any more knives and stones! So some of you don't know me here and don't remember the last time I had a big sale. On the other hand, some of you I know remember the previous big sale :)...

    Chuka Bundle - All-In-One Learning Package

    The idea behind this Mega-Bundle A lot of us go through a lot of knives to learn how one maker is different from another, how one type of steel performs compared to another, and just what works best for us. It can be a long and involved process - especially the part about waiting for individual...

    Echerub's Consolidated Clear-Out Thread - gyutos plus others (w/ some new additions)

    As stated before in my previous sales threads, I have decided to re-evaluate my various knives and find new homes for those knives that I don't absolutely *love* and therefore are never going to get much board time in my hands. These knives are all in excellent to brand-new condition, you'll...

    Len's Knife Clearout - Gyutos, Part 2 ... plus a yanagiba & banno bunko

    My knife clearout continues. As before, I feel that I now know my tastes and preferences quite well and have been re-evaluating my knife collection. I have decided to keep only those knives that I truly love. Those that are good knives but which I do not love for subjective reasons should go to...

    DH-hell *again*

    GAHHHH!! DHL keeps coming after hours, and I end up having to trek down to their nearest service office to pick up my packages in person. It just happened *again*!! I saw online that my package was coming in today, third delivery attempt. Okay, fine, the guy keeps on coming by here after...

    Len's Knife Clearout - Santoku, Nakiri, Sujis, Part 1

    As I've become clearer about my preferences when it comes to the feel and handling of different knives, I've decided that it's time to let the knives that I don't absolutely *love* to move on to new homes. Here's my first round of non-gyuto double-bevels. There will likely be more coming as I...

    FS: Kaneshige 175mm nakiri - ATTN all lefties!

    I picked up this Kaneshige 175mm nakiri w/ blue 2 hagane, damascus cladding and yew octagonal handle to just give it a try. However, it turns out this knife is really better suited for lefties, and I'm not a lefty! This, however, is a good thing for those of you who are lefties :) It's got...

    Anyone else here do self-measurements?

    Hey guys! Who here does some kind of self-measurement and tracking? Health-related, performance-related, etc? And if you do, what benefits have you found from doing so? For the past 2-1/2 months now I've been tracking my weight & bodyfat % (as measured by an ultrasound device). I just...

    Chopping on a board with feet?

    Hey guys I'm thinking of picking up a chopping cleaver to chop up whole, bone-in chicken, duck, whatever. However, I've always been a little hesitant to get a cleaver for this because I wonder if that's okay to do on a Boardsmith board with feet. I could get a cheapie edge grain board just...

    Media Chinese Master Chefs @ 5th Annual (Canadian) Chinese Restaurant Awards

    Very Vancouver-centric awards, and therefore all the chefs featured in the video are from BC, but still... good food in the video and there's a bit of cutting, slicing, dicing, mincing action. Overall a teaser more than anything else, but what a tease! :D...

    Going through the Valley of Confusion on the way to the Peak of Mastery

    I came upon a very interesting concept in the book How by Dov Seidman. It's the idea that mastering an area of knowledge or skill is not a linear journey, but one with a deceptive early peak followed by a dark valley before reaching a much higher peak of mastery. The author saw this when he...

    Delamination on deba - issue or not?

    I just got in a new deba that has something I've never seen before: a bit of delamination between the hagane and jigane. It's on the backside and it extends just around to the spine as well. You can sort of see it in the attached photo. Is this enough of an issue to warrant sending it back...

    Totally a long-shot here, but does anyone have a shiro 240mm Momiji that sits around unused that they'd be willing to part with? :)
