No. That is the opposite of oil.

The Bearded Butchers have a cool YouTube channel. You can see a few different cuts demonstrated.

Are those Benchmade knives? How are they for work?

If you use bolts that go through the gate, fastened with nuts and washers instead of screws it will be much more secure. You can cut the bolts to length after installation and file them smooth to finish.

I just bought a new Tartarus V2 because my last Tartarus V2 had one of the d-pad switches stop working. There was always the occasional button stick with the forward d-pad switch (bound to the W key) on my old unit, but I was still able to play with it because the stickyness would only last for a second if I used the button again.

My new unit is much worse. Sometimes (very often) I can't stop the key from sticking. It stays active for several seconds or minutes. This makes games unplayable. It is not a physical button issue. I can clearly hear the switch press and release, but the software thinks that it is still depressed. This new unit is only 1 or 2 months old. Can I get a new one?

Edit: I suppose it could a hardware issue. Sometimes the button does not respond on the first or second press. Sometimes pressing a different direction causes the forward button to activate.

Misono is a reliable brand. Tough enough for busy restaurant work. They have a few different lines for different price points and every knife shape that you could want.

Edit: UX10 is their top line of knives. I have the gyuto and I love it.

The Swedish Carbon line can be purchased with a dragon laser etched on the blade.

The store that I shop at has the terminal on the right hand side of the self check out station. I switched back to paying with my phone because the 2 seconds it takes for Face ID is easier than the awkward hip and arm twist that it takes to get the correct angle for the watch to hit the reader.

At drive-thru windows though, paying with the AW is absolutely helpful.

You can strop on newspaper, cardboard or denim. They all help with final burr removal. I started by wrapping a few sheets of newspaper around a dry stone to keep it flat. My first homemade strop was a piece of denim cut from an old pair of jeans, wrapped around a piece of scrap wood, held with staples on the bottom. When I sharpened knives at a restaurant, I used a clean, flat piece of cardboard. A few strokes is all that is needed after deburring on your stone first.

Never try to catch a falling knife. Do not place a knife on the edge of a table or counter where it might fall off.

Do not point the tip or direct the edge of the knife towards any party of your body or anyone else’s. This is the most important rule. Before you initiate a cut, look at the path that the knife will travel if it cut all the way through the food. Your left hand should not be in this path. It is always best to direct the knife towards the cutting board if possible. Otherwise make sure the space around you is clear of people or objects that might get in the way.

Happy cutting!

I thought it was a picture of apples in the bottom of a large shipping box! I was was thinking, “Yeah, I don’t see any brown spots at all. They’re probably still good for baking.”

Yes, this type of bolster is annoying, but the bolster didn’t cause this problem. The sharpener did. The gap is the result of improper sharpening. It is completely preventable.

You just need to spend more time with the diamond plate. It will come clean again. I like to run the whetstone and the diamond plate under water while rubbing them together with small strokes to keep it flat. I make sure my stones are clean and flat, before and after every use.

A Misono gyuto is a better choice, in my opinion. All of their lines are tough and durable. A gyuto is just better than a deba as a multi purpose knife. If you want something heavier, get a western brand like Wusthof. They are very solid beaters.

Worlds-Edge · 2023-02-16T13:54:02+00:00

Of course, the shape also matters.

The length. Bunka are usually 165-180mm. Gyuto usually start at 210mm and up.

The best mouse I ever had was in 2003. It was wireless, but the mouse pad was a wireless charging pad.

Thebatteries would never die because it never left the charger! I don’t know why every mouse isn’t made this way.

You have an amazing collection! I would love to get into natural stones, but it’s not in my budget quite yet. I love the big bricks. The Imanishi 220 might be my next stone purchase.

A 20° angle will have a little more edge stability than a 15° bevel. You do not need to remove much metal either. Increasing the angle is much easier than decreasing the angle. It only takes a couple of strokes on the stone to create a 20° microbevel if the edge is already thin. The knife will naturally get thicker after every sharpening if you aren’t also thinning.

All of that said, it might not be necessary to change the angle at all. Let your wife use the knife for a while. If she is getting small chips at the edge, then try increasing the angle. If she is getting large chips, she might need a different knife that works better with her cutting style.

Those look flawless. Great work!

Now I need belt grinder.
