For the love of cutting: a cut-vid thread for all

[BillHanna]

Second time cutting anything since middle of March. Recovering from ankle surgery. Feels good to be back in the saddle. Or sitting on a barstool I guess. HSC/// 270 wrought clad carbon

Imagine a cat letting a human have the last word.

Finally, someone got around to making a cleaver with a nonstick teflon coating.

Not a cleaver but with a Teflon coating. Who thinks of this stuff

Chopping onions with WIP vintage Chinese cleaver. I have been thinning this one out slowly. Still very clunky. So I did the "horizontal tip swipes" with a vertical belly slice instead. Very cool and original board by @captaincaed.

Can you share some details of how you sharpen your Kamon (I think that’s what you’re using for the tomatoes)? Mine’s still on the original edge and due for it’s first sharpening. But even the original edge wasn’t falling through tomatoes like yours.

Posted this in the cleaver thread, but I’ll throw it up here for posterity.

I finally got around to putting my own edge on my massdrop Kamon and had to record the first outing. I think my sharpening skills are finally halfway decent as it’s now impressively sharp and I prefer my own edge to the original OOTB edge.

Went through JNS300, NP800, NP3000 and my new Nakayama Tomae from @nutmeg . Edge is reeeealy nice. Count the cuts

Have to say, pretty impressed with the food release on this Jiro 240. Grind is fantastic. Convex at the heel, flattening out toward the tip. All in all, totally over the moon with this knife.
