For sale is my old R.H. Forschner Breaking Knife. I used this over many years for filleting fish and cutting meat. It is probably 35 years old, however it still has a nice profile. It is a sturdy, stainless steel knife. It has a decent edge on it now, but I could get it sharper when I had an...

I bought way too much beeswax (32 ounces) to make board butter, so I am offering 8 ounces (227 grams) for $3.00 which is the cost of materials plus container and mailer. I just don't want the beeswax to go to waste. This is cosmetic grade beeswax mixed with food grade mineral oil in the ratio...

I recently took a 10 day road trip with my wife, staying in hotels, campgrounds, and family members along the way. I packed one Wa-gyuoto knife and a small polypropylene hard plastic cutting board. I cooked several meals along the way, however by the end of the trip my knife was very dull...

I think we thoroughly vetted the fascination with Honyaki knives. I have a similar question for Shigs/Katos/Watanabes -- why are they so popular? Again, I am new to Japanese Chef Knives, so please forgive my ignorance, but it appears that these are popular because some really old guy who is...

I am fairly new to JKKs so please forgive my ignorance. My question is, why are honyaki knives popular, and why would one pay $800-$1500 for a honyaki knife over say a $300-$400 knife? I get that honyaki is a more expensive process and they look nice, but is there any real value or advantage...
