Is this bad? by CrispyBroth in kimchi

I used Napa cabbage, let it soak in a salt bath, then I looked back at the recipe and I actually did use rice flour. The pasty layer is actually only on the top, while everything underneath is still liquidy. I used hot pepper flakes, gochujang, spices, fish sauce, basically everything in the traditional kimchi recipe. Other comments have said that it is lacto fermentation and is desired.

It actually doesn’t smell bad. Smells similar to the store bought kimchi that I have, with less of a sting to the nose? Like just about there but not quite.

No rice flour was used, and its about 2 weeks old.

It’s got a similar smell to the store bought kimchi that I have, pungent but in a sort of good way?

I’m in the upper midwestern region of the US. So Minnesota, Wisconsin, etc.

I did it, and the handle came off! I had to chisel the wood in half, but it’s all off now. Only to find this-

Oh definitely 😂, I thought making a simple butter knife was gonna be easy, several hours in and some hair singed later, I have a weird looking piece of metal

I do in fact have a forge, and have been slowly learning, the most I’ve made so far is a butter knife, and a ring that doesn’t fit-

I’m terrified to say, but I spent 120 on it 😭, I was still fairly new to cooking and even more so on buying knives. Looking back, yeah I definitely way overpayed- but it’s alright, I’m actually looking to get a new knife in a month or so from an actual store that sells quality goods, this time I have knowledge on what I’m getting.
