KKF counts to a million

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.

For me I have that same connection with my Carbonext knives. Largely because it's the first knives that were good enough that they actually stuck around, and I put so much work in tweaking them, thinning and most of all learning everything myself. They're really the knives that I did most of my journey on, especially since it was several years before I started buying a lot more knives.

Probably. Not sure of the cost though.

OHIP should cover it

I'm sure there's a pill for this....

Every time I put a hurtin on a bottle of rye...random stones from Belgium show up at my house about 10 days later. Not quite sure what the deal is but I have appeared to discover some ancient geologist ritual. More testing is needed, and maybe there's a similar one for curing knife-impotence.

Instant karma for poor customer service or yet another unhinged excuse?

Ugh, can I put this on lay away till my knife buying moratorium expires on January 1st?! Kidding of course
GLWS!

5203 How many of yall are in this same knife buying purgatory?

Really gonna try to NOT blow through half the annual budget again in January.

January last year I embarked on a collection of small western makers. I made a list of nine knives and said I’d probably just tick off two or three boxes. Here I am today with seven boxes ticked, one more scheduled to be finished in February, and one other knife that was unplanned.

After that, 2024 will see only one more knife (lol)! Then I’ll finally have achieved the “one in, one out” level of my knife journey.

I think that Kip honyaki started with someone that used it a ton, then to ma sha who refurbished it, then to @Chang, then to reddit, now back on KKF to whomever just bough it.

So we got @KAMON Knives and now @Jaeger giving us free knives for ARM. Anyone else want to pitch in?

Some of the comments on Larrin’s new instagram post are frankly quite disgusting.

I get complaining over the markup of retail stores, but stop whinging when a maker ups their direct price.

"Chef, can you order more Cambro lids?" - Me

"Yes.... I ordered 12 of these, 24 of those." - Chef

"Why do you need these?" - Accounting

I told him to tell Accounting they're for our Kitchen Olympics. Winner gets an all expenses paid dinner for 4 at Mélisse in Santa Monica. Paid for by Accounting.

He wasn't going for it

Best way to start the holiday weekend? In the ER.
Wife is sick, baby is sick, I’m sick. All with 102°+ fevers.

Happy holidays!

I hope you guys recover quickly. This year’s gift of COVID+flu+RSV is brutal.

My wife has a fever as well. Her swab said flu. Will this get me out of going to her mom’s house on Monday?


STAY TUNED, INTREPID READER.

Thanks! It’s been no joke for sure, everyone around us has been sick so it was just a matter of time.
I get sick once every few years and when I do, it knocks me out.
