Unpopular opinions

Stellite6k and talonite should make pretty crappy kitchen knives. The matrix is soft. The materials are tough and wear resistant, but we want very hard, thin edges that are also somewhat tough and the above two materials just don't excel in that. They are also very corrosion resistant though.

My Stellite6k statement was a bit sarcastic, because so many people complain about sharpening VG10. I do, however, think it would be interesting to have an oyster knife made of it because of the corrosion and wear resistance (plus the fact that I already have a piece). Other than that, I agree and don't see a place in the kitchen for it.

BST should allow people who have had a genuine bad experience with the seller to say something pointed.

I find the litany of bad excuses why any BST knife is ‘the **** but I just can’t buy it now...’ tiresome

I wish makers and vendors were around more

Send me your credit card info. I'll buy all the good ones, no excuses.

VG10 knives are mostly wallflowers at BST no matter how well they dress up.

Here's mine.

Japanese knives are often overrated, and has become instruments to stimulate big egos. For the same reasons they often end up af drawer queen's. And are no where near as good a daily beater as a traditional German/western chef knife.

And one more.

Ceramic sharpening rods are perfectly good to maintain Japanese knives.

I live in the greater Boston area. Rt 128 and the mass pike require an average of 85 mph and track like agility.

Note to self: don’t use Rt 128 or the mass pike when Ben’s out and about.

Nah, Chicago area drivers are both faster and more aggressive than 128 and MassPike drivers. They are, however, also at least a bit more skilled on average.

They have to be in order to dodge all the bullets flying up there.

my car isn't fast, but for some reason people with boosted cars always try to race me.

I noticed that cars in Florida don't need to be fast they only need to have neon lights mounted underneath to glow at night!

Men shouldn’t drive cars period. Only trucks and sometimes SUVs. The El Camino is the only possible exception.

 

[Twigg]

SUVs are just stationwagons with lift kits.

Station wagons are just neutered SUVs

Tailpipes witb a larger diameter than the engine are quite popular as well.

Men should not drive trucks unless they actually utilize the capacity of the truck. Otherwise they are really just driving an oversized, bloated, slow, heavy car that handles and brakes like poop.

That’s NOT an unpopular opinion. Folks, stay on topic lol

"Men should not drive Camaros, or Challengers or Mustangs." Yep, definitely on topic.

So how do you get back from the place where you are dropping the heavy load, or to the place where you are picking up the heavy load? Tow truck?

German Cars are Overrated, Italian Cars are always broke and English Car is good but doesn't know how to sell their stuff (That's why almost none of them are really English company-owned).

I didn't say it wasn't fun. 20 yrs ago I had a Honda Civic, I could drive that car... push anyone around the road, and it handled well enough. then I made a life choice and grew up... Prius. I am still drooling over the wrx...

It been a while since I've been down to the US, but the places I went (NJ, Seattle, Portland, LA) were easy driving compared to Toronto

 

[soigne_west]

I’m sorry but SF the worst city to drive in. LA sucks, NY sucks but SF is just terrible.

 

[Barclid]

NY isn't that bad really outside of rush hour. Unless you JUST mean Manhattan. But even most parts of Manhattan aren't bad outside of rush hour. Midtown blows at almost any time of day though.

Camaros and Challengers are cool. But yes, the modern mustang is a woman’s car.
