    Ticket machine nightmares?

    My worst nightmares came true a few months ago. We had just opened up the restaurant not even a month before, a small upscale wine bar/bistro, serving Italian-cajun fusion. The place was PACKED!! We literally had customers sitting in the park across the street to eat because there was no room...

    Dumb work injuries

    a couple months ago I was working a brunch shift. we were cleaning up, and I knocked my knife off the board. Knowing my trash can was next to me, with god knows what in it, I tried to catch my knife (which I had JUST sharpened the night before, she was shaving hair with the grain...) needless to...

    Balsa vs Leather Strop, What compound?

    So I recently bought a balsa strop and a new leather strop. I usually use .25 and .5 micron on denim strops and .125 spray on leather, but I was wondering if I were to use the .25 or .5 on the balsa, if I would get a different result than if I used it on denim? (sorry if I don't make sense right...

    A mad idea? Reducing my stone collection in 2021.

    If I had to suggest, I'd say keep the naniwa and Shapton stones. From my experience (take it with a grain of salt, but I've been running a small sharpening business out of my house for the past 4 years) they are generally the best stones to use. As long as you keep a course, medium, fine. And...

    When you see the picture, you'll know the question, and I probably know the answer...

    If you don't wanna send it off to someone, or buy a new stone, you can go outside and grind it on a brick or the cement. But you'll probably screw up the geometry a bit if you aren't careful. Your best bet is to send it off to someone who knows what they're doing. And cutting short ribs with a...

    Scratch/Buffing marks on Knife after sharpening?

    Im pretty sure I was holding the angle well, but I dont use any guides or anything so it is possible, but I've been doing this for 4 years and just recently started having this problem. And its been a little while since I flattened that stone. Any idea on how I can clean up the marks on the...

    Scratch/Buffing marks on Knife after sharpening?

    Hey guys, So I was sharpening a Shun Classic Chef's knife for my Sous Chef last night and after running it on my 1k, I noticed some odd spots on the side of the blade that looked like it was hit with a buffing wheel. I obviously didn't lay the knife flat on the stone, but I did sharpen between...
