    Advice for replacing my moms bamboo cutting boards *shudder*

    I snagged a rubber board off Amazon for under $30, but the ones available right now are a lot more expensive. It's a food service type brand so maybe if you have a restaurant supply store in your area you could pick one up for a decently inexpensive price. I generally use shelf/drawer liner...

    Suerhiro Cerax 6K vs Suehiro Shiramine 6K

    I don't know if this is what ModRQC is referring to, but there was this thread about Suehiros where a similar topic came up.

    Nakagawa has left Shiraki Hamono?

    The original text is being mistranslated - ganbaru means persevere/do one's best, but gan by itself means cancer.

    Delaminated Damascus Deba: How concerned should I be?

    Ah, my fault, I missed the part where you said it had been longer than 7 days. Maybe there are some exceptional retailers that would go above and beyond since it's a defect and make an exception to the stated 7 day policy, but at this point they are meeting their stated policy so, as Max...

    Delaminated Damascus Deba: How concerned should I be?

    Ask them to honor their return policy as written at the time of your purchase. If you paid by credit card you can look into a chargeback. And in that case if they want the knife back ask them to send you a prepaid shipping label. It's one thing to buy "scratch and dent" type discount...

    Delaminated Damascus Deba: How concerned should I be?

    The way that policy reads to me is that you can return it for a manufacturing defect or damaged caused in shipping within 7 days; it says nothing about being unused in that case. The brand new and unused part is only applicable to the second part.

    What do you use for raw meat cutting?

    Rubber board might be a good option. I like the feeling of my edge grain maple board more than my rubber board, but I've never tried end grain of any kind. My rubber board is only 0.5" thick and my maple is 1.75" thick so that might contribute, at least a little, to a difference in feeling.

    Help me pick a Lenovo

    I bought a T490 for my mother last Black Friday. I think they're thin and light enough and you don't need a dongle for every freakin' thing because THIN THIN THIN at all costs. One RAM is soldered, so I went with 16GB soldered and put in a spare 16 in the free slot myself. Upgrade cost to 512GB...

    Spice Jars

    Pretend this is an episode of JRE after Laird Hamilton gives Joe some of this coffee containing turmeric and Joe spends the next month asking everyone if they knew that turmeric has two Rs in it. Isn't that crazy, I never knew that until Laird Hamilton gave me some of this tuRmeric coffee...

    Is the "U" always silent?

    Murray Carter is saying it very slowly and distinctly in that video. Murray has another video where he says he pronounces honesuki as honeski and his native speaker wife will correct him and tell him it's ho-ne-su-ki. Around 8:55. You can hear how it's pronounced here (about 0:25, another at...

    Simichrome is amazing

    Simichrome is published on their web page at least. I am referring to the blue paste Flitz; it's the only one I've used. That's the original isn't it? I remember when they used to have a late night infomercial for it. I only recall the liquid version popping up fairly recently - within the...

    Simichrome is amazing

    According to this thread the abrasives in Flitz are finer than that in Simichrome. I'm almost positive Flitz used to list AlOx on the SDS at some point.

    Does my gyuto need thinning?

    IME this is absolutely a valid consideration. It's tedious as fvck if you end up wanting to go further in your thinning job, but I basically refinished my blade to test if I was happy with my thinning job. With the finish left by a coarse stone it drags badly and you can't really tell what the...

    Big Almighty Knife! Tojiro FG-3000

    The wood handled version was something like $15, maybe even under that, at one point fairly recently. I picked up the synthetic handled version of this for $10 on Amazon. I think I used it once; it's frikken gigantic. If you have to push near the tip with some decent force you can use a towel...
