Re: Which suji would you pick and why
As a preface...i have never touched a Shindo...but for a dedicated protein slicer I actually don't like super thin edges. For my cutting style, in this situation, I prefer the grind of the kohetsu. In addition, I think they do a bang up job with blue 2 although in my experience the choil could use a...

Re: Anyone use a clever?
Yes, all the time. I use it for most things where I would use a chef knife. It slices, it dices and scoops I even use it as a spatula at times. I have never used the one linked, but it looks like a great little knife. Very similar to the small cck.

Re: Show us your new knife!
[/quote] A lovely knife and - not surprising given your posts - a lovely board. :). Is that slicer as thick at the spine as it looks, or was it forged very thin? That scaling is really beautiful. I'm kinda a sucker for that kinda of natural finish on US customs. For whatever reason, it tends to look...

Re: Damascus etch making knife sticky
Yes. Fine grit sandpaper, 1000 grit will work. It will mute the contrast, but will not drag as much.

Re: Do carbon knives stain food?
Yes, definitely, especially with acidic foods. While the knife is getting a patina you will need to wipe often.

Re: Show us your new knife!
I have been drooling over Daniel's work, process and polishing for years and finally got my hands on one of his knives. It's not Wootz, but still a beauty.

Re: What did you cook today?
The purists will say this is a travesty, but you would have a hard time convincing me there is a better cooking apparatus than a wok for Rice Krispy treats. So simple and so good...especially on a snow day.

Re: Impulse buy? Red light or green light
I would get it, but size up to 240. As nimble as it is, it wouldn't feel cumbersome moving from your 210.

I love Gary Larson and went through a few of his books as a kid. Just bought the complete collection thanks to this.

Re: Your top knife of 2023?
Tough one, I usually lean towards western makers in my collection, but this year the top two are Japanese: 1- Yoshikozu Tanaka 240 Gyuto in Blue2 with damascus cladding and an ebony handle. Did some tweeking of the handle and made the bottom rounded and dropped off some of the girth making it super ...

New Harner Mini Chef in CPM M4. Interesting to see some patina developing after cutting up a bunch of mangoes.
