276x - I can’t count
On the other hand (unintentional) it means there is definitely an opportunity for the makers paying attention?

I know it isn't as sexy, but give factory brands a try. Akifusa, Tsunehisa, etc. in my experience are pretty 50/50. I understand you lose out on the benefits of asymmetric grinds that way but you get much better steels and way better grinds than German offerings.
Is that something you'd be interested in?

Only 10% of the people are wrong handed, just not a big enough market to get excited over.... Better business sense to keep the 90% happy.

I've made a reasonable number of lefty biased knives. Most of them as customs though.
2765
My biggest problem with many of those is that they are from thin stock (<2mm). I've had enough knives in my hands that I know I like spines over 2.5mm at the heel

Yeah, and then gouge us an extra 50% if we want a single bevel.

Yeah, I've had one knife from Matt and he did deliver.
I have a rough idea of what I want my next custom to be. It's just planning to get there budget wise as I do want it in a more expensive steel like Z-Wear.

A community organized around spending thousands on knives essentially because they have a different makers mark, or on random rocks because they are ‘different’ and may save us 15 minutes when we thin every 6 months?
No, I don’t think there’s any room for that holiday in these hallowed halls

I concur, being left handed in the knife world kinda sucks, especially for single bevel knives.

Granddaughter had to video call for some last minute room cleaning inspiration. I showed her the berries and cherry tomatoes and.......peanut butter cookies that I have for her. Mom says she's doing good now.

A PSA for all KKF members: Don't eat your knives. It's not good for you.

Mine was 54
Mild hart attack, add stint, blood thinners, and cholesterol meds even though my cholesterol is low my weight is only 150lb and I still get plenty of exercise, just bad genetics I guess. The bright side to it all is my nutritionist said I need to go on a Mediterranean diet, which is actually when I started cooking more and led to my knife and sharpening obsession.

It's a conspiracy. They x-ray all the packages and, when they spot a knife, they put it in the special "to be processed slowly" pile.

Any source you recommend for recipes? My parents expressed an interest in moving to it since they’re moving up in the years.

I’m gonna witch about it here, so I’m not outwardly aggressive.
I hate your b&w pics of your razors. Why not color? That’s stupid. This isn’t a photography class. Just take the picture of your razor.

Thank you!

Also, I hate when y'all take photos with the knife resting on your forearm pointed towards the camera. Why are you doing this? Does it make you feel cool or something? This wack *** distorted angle is not helping me evaluate the knife, and now I have to look at your nasty arms. Just stop it

If you’re familiar with LazyTown….
Robbie Rotten is not a villain. He’s just a man who wants the peace and quiet he’s always had. Sportacus is a rabble rouser.

Can’t say I’ve found on particular source, I’ve just taken recipes that looked good to me from sources online. Then try to change them to my liking with local ingredients. In this way we have managed to collect a good deal of recipes, but to be honest the Mediterranean diet is pretty simple overall. I have not found any recipe books that I really like.

I shipped my first package to Canada today. It was dead simple and I now feel bad for leaving non-US folks out of my past sales. I imagined sending international was much more involved.
It isn't. Like, at all.
The form you have to fill out, and yep, you can even still get it there at the Post Office and use an actual pen, is about a third of piece of paper. Receiver's info, your info, what's in the box and how much.
That's it.
Other carriers may be different but USPS was no big deal.

Pretty much the same thing Canada to US. You can do the whole thing at home. Only time you need to do stuff at the post office is when you want insurance
