Panic Attack

[nhb22]

So I was cooking for the family yesterday. Tested a bunch of knives during prep. After prep, I washed all the knives I used and put them on a knife box tilted for them to dry. I then got really busy between managing multiple dishes and kids yelling. Randomly, my eyes grazed over the counter where the knives were left to dry. For 2-3 seconds after that, I thought one of my knives broke in half. Many questions flashed through my brain quickly during those 2-3 seconds. What happened to my knife? Who the f did this? My wife? My kids? Myself? How can the knife lose so much? Snapped in half? Wtf! During the same 2-3 seconds, I could feel there were chemicals being produced inside of my brain and my body froze.



This was what I saw when my eyes grazed over the counter.

A more eloquent diatribe against the nefarious nakiri — I cannot imagine.

That’s why you should only rock rectangles. You wouldn’t have had this problem.

Nakiris are only made when a blacksmith accidentally cracks a blade anyway. No other reason to make one.

Haha, its always the wife!

That's just not true man. Plenty of risk adverse parents want safer knives for their children to learn on. We had a whole thread about it.

Smh kids these days are so coddled. Back in my day we learned on 400mm sujis and I still have most of my fingers.

Curious who made your knives with the raindrop damascus pattern - third from top on the table, and maybe also left box.

Looks like a DT to me

Both by Devin Thomas. Those have his bubblewrap damascus pattern.
