You didn't tie it in to spam well enough. Or maybe realized Wüsthof doesn't make one.

Decided to stay directly in Times Square since it’s her first time in the city. Also got tickets for wicked, neither of us are musical people but when in rome you view culture defining art pieces. Planning something of this scale without your partner finding out is surprisingly stressful

If only someone here had said something like that.

I hadn't been in those threads - now I see what you mean. Met my criteria for the ignore list.

I’m irritated.

People come to me for cleaver advice, and I defer. “Go talk to [knowledgable people] instead. They’re smarter about this.” “[Brainaic] has handles more than me; they can help you better.”

The one time I go out of my way to give advice.

You're great n all. I'd gladly pay my $60/yr. But lets face it, you're no chef pesto.

I'm still wondering what forum is all Japanese chefs. And I'll just go to my local Asian food court if I want to see what the chefs are using for a slicing cleaver.

I dont know of any asian restaurants that use Japanese cleavers.

 

[Dan-]

They use them to chop up the Asians for Asian sauce.

Yeah, that was sorta my point.

But aside from that, I'm guessing somewhere there must be a reason for the chuka bocho to exist other than the home chef market. Or maybe us knife nerds is the whole reason....

Don't feel bad @BillHanna. I tried to help with him with nakiri's and he didn't like my input either.

Words like this never pop up inside English language classes. Or "business English" or " scientific English". Even though it's much more true to life than - well "radiation load" for example. Or slang swear words.
So, Michi, I would translate this habitus probably as "Grantler".
Native speakers, come on, give us more language advice.

Anyone heard of Lugano Prive? A social club for Lugano Diamonds...

They contacted me to see if I'm interested in a CDP position. Making more than I make as a Sous Chef..

I get that we’ve had our number of controversies involving knife makers over the years, and I get that bills need to be paid. But selling a knife that is 1/4 delamination still feels a little… wrong

Given sone of the stuff that has sold recently as art, I think it's fair.

If he warrants it against further delam, why not?

question of the day. what single knife of yours would you never part with until death/etc... ? gotta pick just one today (and yes who knows, your answer could change in the future blah blah =) )

Mine would be the 2nd knife I ever bought for myself. I messed up sharpening it over the years and it has many scratches, but there are a lot of memories with that knife. For me it's my Hiromoto Aogami Super 240mm Gyuto.

I'm not sure what this is a sign of, but I turned down a spot on a maker's list today.

Sure it was 19 months since I asked to be put on, and there was some stuff that went on so with that maker so I didn't even think I was on the list anymore, but I looked at my collection, thought about where I want to go, and looked at the maker's work and decided it wasn't the right fit anymore.

And I like the maker and his work. Strange days.

Followed the sale list over the years. Looks like it won’t be updated much anymore at this rate. Congrats on reaching the mythical place we often seek

It's a tough place. I've bought (and sold) quite a few knives, but I've now hit a place where it's gotta fit before I'll even try something out. Doesn't help that the BST has gotten slow recently, so if I decide to try something else stuff is harder to sell these days. It was just a case of what the maker offers just not lining up with my wants at the moment.

Probably. Not sure of the cost though.
