Deer season started here and a buddy gave me some venison backstrap. First time cooking with it. Has a similar taste to beef sirloin IMO. With honeynut squash purée and sautéed mushrooms.

I also love how a very sharp single edge blade leaves whatever you cut with it kind of wondering if it is cut at all...
 
Bolognese tonight, which is a fun dish to test various knives. The farmers market had the biggest carrots I’ve ever seen. The Haburn blew through them no problem. Always fun to use the DT, and I forgot how much I enjoy the Kato. Really feels quick in hand, with a very fine tip.

Reasons to have a microscope:

1) To look at bevels
2) To look at scratches in steel and iron, for polishing
3) To look at apexes to see if you have one
4) To look at @WCV's carrot and onion dice, to see if you can spot individual pieces

The question in my mind is: would all that cutting have been easier with a Sugimoto No. 6 or equivalent?

Haha. So far I haven’t converted over to the rectangle camp, although I have been eyeing a nakiri or vegetable cleaver. The new Haburn seems to provide the best of both worlds. Close to 60mm tall for a good portion of its length, but also has a tip. Of course I’m always on the lookout for a new knife to add to the line up ….
