Pro Tip:

Fondue is the epitome of a cheese dish and should be emulated in nachos, mac & cheese, and anywhere else cheese is a main component.

Gotta have a melty cheese for good consistency.

Gotta have a flavor cheese for good taste.

You may try this at home.

Melted Gruyère is disgusting.

Melted Gruyère is disgusting.

A melted slice of gruyere on a burger or a grilled cheese is kind of gross.

But gruyere fondue with white wine and shallots is the nectar of the gods.

Please don't fondle my cheeseburger

 

[Chopper88]

Don't have a problem with melted gruyère.

That would utterly destroy me.

These things were made for nachos

Is that some kind of NatureStone or pebble/epoxy type flooring? How the hell do you keep it clean?

I like melted Gruyère and ham + fried or poached egg sandwich (preferably on a pretzel roll ). Never was crazy about Swiss cheese but learned this from my wife and have come to appreciate it.

I dislike bundles and I dislike trade-only deals. I understand them, but I dislike them.

I feel like some trade-only deals are bait so people will offer more money for highly sought after knives, preventing the seller being labeled as a flipper as the deal is done in private.

Its valentines day and cold out so to cheer myself up I do my annual comparison to Mt. Washington weather:
Temp: -10F at 8pm
Wind: 80mph sustained
Wind chill: -51F

I feel better.

Okay smartypants, what do you put on French onion soup?

Me and the wife got a laugh from this

Mt. Washington has extreme weather. Iirc the highest (not cyclonic) wind speed in the contiguous 48 was clocked there. (clickety) (whoa) 231mph!

It's been a little while since I listed anything on BST, but in my recent experience you'll get some highball cash offers whatever which way you post certain hyped knives at the moment. Including on non-bst sections of the forum.

My first trip to Mt. Washington when I was like 17 or 18 for a family trip. It was eiter July or August and we had blizzard conditions at the top. Windy as all hell and couldn't see more that 15 ft in front of you. Was in the 80s down bottom, but snowing at the top.
Really neat place to visit

It has also become increasingly common recently not to include trade values on WTT posts (especially for highly sought knives).

Despite the rule that trade “values should be listed” but it’s “not a requirement”, we used to call out these posts for not following standard practice. But now it’s almost standard practice (especially among newer members) not to include trade values.

When there are fewer current benchmarks for reference, “market value” (I tend to agree with much of what nhb22 wrote) gets distorted/inflated much more easily.

Okay smartypants, what do you put on French onion soup?

Comté of course. Gruyère would make it a Swiss onion soup...

I missed this before: Emmental.

I can add that I have generally disliked French onion soup. My wife likes it however and I'd seen this recipe and it made me a convert

We cannot be friends.

Well, okay, maybe.

Emmental is one of my alternates, sometimes I blend them. I cannot guess what you dislike about Gruyere here.

I don't know that I've ever tasted that cheese. One to add to the list.

Comte tastes like a 3 day old gym sock.

Delicious!

I know a BillHanna subscriber when I see one.

The two are very similar; Comté is basically the same style of cheese made on the French side of the border.
Gruyere might be a tiny tad nuttier but it's negligible.

 

[Achedis]

Specifying finishing grit to describe an edge isn't often very useful. The specific stone should be named, as different stones at the same grit can finish very differently.

A Venev Orion 400 (which I've heard is actually 600 JIS) finishes finer than a PDT Silver 1500.

 

[SwampDonkey]

If I ever start listing grit numbers on naturals, be assured I am just making sh*t up

What I'm hearing is that you find it challenging to Comté the ways they differ.
