The name does nothing for me. Interesting that they are marketing it as a LBZ clone, not sure you can clone a terroir but maybe the taste.

Show you an eye candy tea which was gifted to my father years ago by a business associate. He was gifted two and drank one already saving the other. Guess it's a family heirloom now. I think it's tea from the Qing Dynasty. It seems to be wrapped in paper and the whole package was sealed with wax before labeling.

HOW IS COFFEE AN UNPOPULAR OPINION?!?! Have you never met the typical line cook? It's THE essential food group. Along with cream and sugar.

As far as Federally legal stuff goes.

Tea isn't either. That stuff got thrown in the harbor.

 

[labor of love]

Along with Coconut cream and stevia.

FIFY

Chelsea miller's knife making skills are far more impressive than 99% of kkf members' knife using skills.

best post on this thread

Ma_sha1 could probably modify a Chelsea Miller into a Shig styled gyuto.

I buy Starbucks beans and brew my own coffee. This is also frowned upon?

If it tastes good to you that's what counts. I hand grind fresh Kona beans use top drip coffee machine.

It's like debating best wines or beer it's what you like that matters. I like raw oysters on half shell. Most people hate it.

But admittedly I like dark roast borderline burnt ass.

That’s what sea said!

KKF is better now than it has ever been. Those saying that KKF has lost in quality should move on to another hobby.

White 2? How does it compare to Blue Super?

210 gyutos are stupid. If you need to go small, 180 is the way

 

[Jville]

If you are using a 180 gyuto, you mind as well just bust out your santoku.

 

[M1k3]

If you're using a Santoku, you might as well be using a Nakiri, which you can then turn into a Gyuto.

That was because of taxes. I've lived in Democrat controlled Hawaii over 50 years. They love to tax the crap out of everything. Esp. the tourist. If you don't pay your high property taxes for 3 years it goes on auction block. Parking meters have been put everywhere that used to be free. Rail is way over budget because of corruption. Have the highest per capa homeless in the nation. Also same with crystal meth & no political will erase it from the islands. Everything you buy has high sales tax. In US you are taxed when you are born till you die. Your estate you better pay attention so your beneficiaries don't pay more taxes.

I tell any younger person if you qualify for a Roth IRA get one. Best thing I ever did all those capital gains are tax free. Perfect aggressive investment tool. Not only that it feels good something that they can't get their hands on. My beneficiaries can take money out tax free. To think we were the ones to throw the Brit. Tea in the Harbor over unjust taxes.

Wasn't it taxation without representation? Not the taxes themselves, per se?
