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.

How much was it?

I shipped from WA state to Nebraska for $12. To Ontario was $23.

Knife to NE and a stone to ON. Similar weight.

QUESTION:

Is anyone here planning to buy a blade or more for their "significant other" for Valentine's Day???

If so...

Please tell us ALL THE DETAILS about your ingenious plans.

Should make for fun conversation:

I ordered a Valentines gift from Paris after my Herders had entered customs in NYC, and the arrived at my house before the damned knives had left customs.

I mean, what choice does he have? Wack away, young man. Wack away(privately).

I watched all the Kaiseki Jon videos the other night and tried the Japanese grip. I now find myself naturally doing this, having all wa handled knives, and I wondered why it was so familiar. I realized that’s it’s the same grip you use with handsaws and smaller electric drills. It really is more ergonomic.

Now where’s my Mr miyagi headband?

I also found myself (due to the weight) with a strong urge to tap chop with the new kamagata which was fun until I realized what it’d do to the edge. So now where can I find an even heavier nakiri than a Toyama? Am I destined for wabisabi land?

When you sell a knife you did a little work on to a fellow knife knut and they're feedback is "killer edge"...

The moment in the pre-surgery discussion when the surgeon tells you he's going to fix a problem with your heart you didn't know you had.

I should probably note that this was already heart surgery for atrial fibrillation and he suddenly told me I had atrial flutter as well.

Thanks. I had the same surgery in 2015 but obviously unsuccessful. It’s interesting to see how technology has changed in 8 years.

Get ink just so you can get tattoo removal. It's so much more expensive and painful than the actual tattoos, therefore more bad ***
