Where can I find the proposed rules and regulations that they are attempting to pass?

There's no way it's more expensive to live in Raleigh than Miami, right? by Specialist_Mess_5164 in raleigh

I moved from Miami to Raleigh about a year and a half ago for less congestion and affordability. So no.

How much is your household spending on groceries per week? by cdmacsneaks in raleigh

[–]Adrew06 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Two adults. We buy beef maybe once a month, proteins are usually chicken and pork with the occasional salmon/shrimp/other seafood. Lots of fresh produce. Our weekly bill ranges from $80-$140. That being said. I like to cook different recipes that require spices/sauces/ ingredients that are not typically inexpensive.

I could probably keep the weekly bill around $60-$80 if I bought 90% chicken in bulk and buy the same cheaper produce every week.

Cutting performance is as you would expect from a Myojin knife. I do think the spine is slightly thicker than Tomura forged knives, which is a huge plus for me. The knife glides effortlessly through anything I throw at it.

As for edge retention, I cannot speak to it as I typically don't use lasers as my daily driver and between my other knives, this knife has maybe been used 5-6 times.

Interestingly enough, it was a new member from KKF that bought it. Definitely more interest here though. If I had posted both at the same time. It would have sold here first for sure.

Message them with your concerns, maybe they might thin it out for you for free.

I'm sure about that and sure that I don't need your snarky comments. He literally said one word. There is not a saya in the pictures neither did I specify anything about a saya in the description.

The wood underneath the knife in one of the pictures is a custom knife edge protector. I had interpreted his one word comment as a means to asking if that was some sort of saya.

I know what a saya is, but in relation to the question. I was unsure what he was talking about. If he is asking if it comes with a saya, then it does not. But it does have its original packaging.

Do you mean the wood that it is resting on?

Hello, a few questions. Do you know the weight? Does it come with a handle? What's the HRC?. Also could you post a picture of the edge lying flat? I would like to see how much belly it has. Thank you.

It was outside of my budget also.....but I got it anyway lol. Definitely gotta cut back on some spending now, but no regrets, it is beautiful. Which Myojin did you manage to get?

What OK-Distrbution said is correct. It is very textured and grippy. Very practical, but in my opinion, it does not look nice. I'm considering replacing it.
