No photos, but I used my Tojiro DP Nakiri today to matchstick some potatoes, and I didn't hate it.

Mirepoix + garlic for a big bolognese. The big rectangle did the brunt of the work but I also took the opportunity to film a few cutting videos using the Newham and Mazaki nakiri for a review of that I am putting together, so all three knives contributed.

Just some dinner prep. Wat Pro 165mm..

150 masamoto usuba. Not really the right tool for the job, but I've not really had chance to use it, so ARM is as good as an excuse as any.

She's probably laughing at the stupid QR code.

I‘ve been thinking…

With 4 rectangles incoming, but 2 not making it until end of March, why don’t we rename this thread into „ARM“ instead of „All Rectangle March“? By doing so, I’d have an additional few weeks: April Rectangle Month + All Rectangle May

Wait a second… That would make ARM a whole quarter! ARQ

I need to make a correction: 5 rectangles incoming.

I have 8 coming in between now and next year but am way behind you in the collection to start with.

I think I need to disconnect my internet.

Chinese Cleavers really are the most versatile Chefs Knive, yet another example.

Took the words right out of my mouth

I could even see it coming in handy while scooping up money into a duffel bag. Perhaps smacking each stack of money with the cleaver, as you would a piece of garlic, would help you figure out which have dye packs based off the sound it makes?

All hail the mighty rectangles!

Kind of like a street cart chicken thing. Simple salad with lemon and olive oil, broiled chicken thigh marinated in NY Shuk shawarma bbq, basmati rice pan fried in ghee with turmeric and garam masala, pita, lemon toum, calabrian chili paste, hummus with zaatar and paprika.

I removed all triangles other than paring/petties at the beginning of the month and my wife had a fit after a few hours. So I had to put her favorites back on the rack.

Today I found her chopping Japanese pumpkin (kubocha) with a Toyama 180 Nakiri.

Fried with ground chillis:

@Knot Handcrafted nakiri 185x55mm and Morihei 165mm nakiri at work
prepping the soffrito and other vegetables for a minestrone loosely inspired by the great Marcella Hazan (RIP).
I like to think of ARM as "Appreciate your Rectangles Month" and I do like them rectangles!
Performance-wise the Knot is so much better but I guess the Morihei will be no slouch once properly tuned/thinned.

Ladies and gentlemen, we have a new participant: my gf *LOVED* the CCK KF1303 (at least until she heard it was a Chinese knife)!

Teach her the claw grip. I can see a digit getting mutilated carrying on like that. Safety first.

You know how it is, when I tell her, she doesn’t listen. Now she read what YOU wrote, and suddenly she asks me to teach her the claw grip. Cheers, mate!

ahem…..


*HE SHOULD BUY MORE CLEAVERS. YOU WILL LOVE THEM ALL*

For God's sake man, get our newest Rectangler a proper sized cutting board!


Great stuff. Love it!

 

[BillHanna]

Now she has to take her time and use proper technique, instead of trying to get done as fast as possible. All part of the plan. Totally.

Wild garlic season has started, still playing around with the CCK KF1303:

It's a normal size board. Just the knife and produce are super GMO
