Hello from Breaking Bad land

[Troy Sorrell]

I'm from Albuquerque. Caught the kitchen knife bug recently and just yesterday bought a 210mm Koishi Gyuto as my first knife. I'm looking to do more research within this online community as well hopefully find some great deals.

Welcome to the forums

Thank you! I didn't know this place existed until someone pointed it out to me through Reddit.

Green Chile or red?

 

[Troy Sorrell]

my wife is a fan of the green chile. if i had to choose because my life depended on it i'd choose green as well.

I'm in NM, too (Cedar Crest). Green most of the time, unless you're at Duran's where red is king. Check out Shi-Han knives. He's in Santa Fe. Great guy, super-premium knives.

Depends on my mood. My Japanese wife prefers green but also likes red as long as you have an over easy egg on it. (I get chile powder shipped from family all the time)

I’m originally from southwest New Mexico, a small town near Silver city. So every year we would drive to hatch and load up or dedicated freezers for green chile. Then later do the drive again for the sacks of red.

But yeah check bout shi Han as others have said.

G'day and welcome to the forum.

Albuquerque is not just the home of Breaking Bad. It is the home to the very talented Cody Paul, aka thegingerninja.abq on IG.

PS - love those New Mexico skies!

Hey, for the record, I'm not anti red! I'm always loaded up with my Barker's chili pods!

I never knew about Shihan. Those are some cool knives. I’m interested in the Petty but looks to be sold out at the moment.

Email him. What he posts on his website and what he has in stock are two different things. I honestly can't say enough good things about the wrought iron/white 2 I got from him.

I have a Shihan petty, 135mm in 52100, that I'm not using and could sell.
It is a beautifully made knife. PM if interested...
