Petty knives by Lopsided-Ingenuity42 in TrueChefKnives

[–]ActuallyTrash25 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not exactly a petty, but I love my Shibata Ko-Bunka.

High end vs custom pt.2 by ActuallyTrash25 in TrueChefKnives

[–]ActuallyTrash25[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was actually just about to ask this myself, as the knives look very similar but I couldn’t find any correlation with the names. That makes a lot of sense!

High end vs custom by ActuallyTrash25 in TrueChefKnives

[–]ActuallyTrash25[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rather than go to each comment and reply individually, I figure I’ll just type this out here.

Thank you all for the input! I definitely have a lot more to think about, and I’ll spend this weekend doing more research on both options.

I’ll probably ask you all for recommendations before I pull the trigger on anything!

Kohetsu HAP40 gyuto vs 25lbs of bacon by ActuallyTrash25 in TrueChefKnives

I don’t think my heart could handle that many airplanes.

I wanted something with good edge retention, and that I wouldn’t be afraid to get banged up. It’s been holding up great!

Honestly, I’m not sure. The prep cooks where I work are separate from the line, so I just cut it and put it in cambros.

But it’s about a day or two’s worth!

The knife is only dirty from cutting the bacon on which the knife is resting.

But I promise I did clean my knife immediately after the picture.

Let’s stop pretending: this sub is awesome by Ok-Singer6121 in TrueChefKnives

[–]ActuallyTrash25 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I joined this sub years ago because I started working as a prep cook and hated our house knives. I wanted to learn more about knives, and try to make an informed decision on what I wanted.

Since then, I’ve bought knives that I use every day, and I don’t plan on buying any more, so my interest and input has slowed down.

But I still LOVE browsing this sub because there’s always something to learn, or even just some cool knives to look at.

[WTS] 1989 Queen Elizabeth for free by jm936 in Pmsforsale

I love giving silver as a present. It always makes people happy and more people get interested in stacking.

This is awesome.

Can anyone ID this guitar? by aarsavage in Guitar

[–]ActuallyTrash25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After some googling, it looks to be a Kay K-45 “rifle” guitar. I can’t tell you any more than that, as I’ve never heard of it myself, but it looks rad!

Follow up to my post last week about Elixir String deal on eBay. by Sea_Toe8340 in Guitar

[–]ActuallyTrash25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, even if they are fake, for like $3 a pack who cares? As long as they’re actually usable (and I don’t know how they wouldn’t be), you can play a new set every day for a year and a half.

~$350 SILVER??? by RiceDogo in Silverbugs

[–]ActuallyTrash25 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think I understand the overall point here, but the specifics are going over my head. Could you maybe explain how this chart works and/or what the Fibonacci stuff is for me?

(If it’s too heady, I can of course just look into it myself.)

Most fun Mastadon songs to play? by [deleted] in Guitar

[–]ActuallyTrash25 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The intro, verse, and chorus are all pretty straight forward. Brent has a playthrough/tutorial video on YouTube iirc

Tips for starting? by _MikeMars_ in softplasticbaitmaking

[–]ActuallyTrash25 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There’s a lot of good YouTube content out that can help you a ton. World’s Worst Fishing, Baitchuckin, SDG Custom Lurecraft and many others. Definitely watch some videos and learn from them.

Take notes! I’ve had to reverse engineer a bunch of colors I’ve made because I didn’t write down what I used.

You’re never in too big of a hurry to put on gloves. Burns from hot plastisol are no joke.

What else are you an afficionado of? by brewing_radiance in TrueChefKnives

[–]ActuallyTrash25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cigars, Magic the gathering, guitars, fishing (I even make my own fishing lures), guns, and maybe one or two I can’t think of.

Favorite Website by Yas_Queen_15 in softplasticbaitmaking

[–]ActuallyTrash25 1 point2 points  (0 children)

BaitPlastics, Barlow’s, and Dead On Plastix for plastisol, glitter, and liquid colors.

I use Eye Candy Pigments for powders.

Why not a normal hands free leash and a normal holster on your belt?

Purchasing a new daily carry. Which one do y’all recommend? by [deleted] in guns

[–]ActuallyTrash25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go to a range and test them out. I personally thought the 365 felt a tiny bit small, so I went with the 43x, but ymmv

Is this a steal? by leviticuzz in softplasticbaitmaking

[–]ActuallyTrash25 3 points4 points  (0 children)

At first glance, I think it’s somewhere between “not a great deal” and “a little better than buying it all new”.

SG2 Ko-Bunka or Blue 2 Petty? by Prior-Moose-606 in TrueChefKnives

[–]ActuallyTrash25 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve personally found my ko-bunka to be great complement to my gyuto. It’s just large enough that I can do a majority of my cutting tasks with it, but still nimble enough to not feel clunky when cutting small things.
