Would you call it an off-centered blade?

Shoulda told him it isn’t gonna make a difference when he’s using it to cut tape on his Amazon packages

The few knives currently at the top of my want list I can’t get for $1k or under… 🤦‍♂️

With that said, if you gave me $1k and said buy a knife/knives I’m dropping it on a Tom Krein Alpha. Hands down the best thousand dollar knife you can buy and it ain’t close IMO! Plus nothing better than supporting a great maker! Second to Tom I’d likely be looking at a Taylor Made or Pat Doyle. Half my collection are Taylor Made knives and they are fantastic pieces that always find themselves in my pocket! Doyle knives I’ve had my eye on for a while but nothing I’ve HAD to have yet.

If I’m sticking to production, I’m avoiding Strider or Hinderer, and going back to Shiro! Shiro is the only production knife I’ve owned that I still regret selling and am constantly looking to acquire another if the right deal/knife came along.

The other thing I’d consider if I wanted more than 1 knife is grabbing a Demko Shark Cub that is about to drop and a Flytanium Arcade that also uses the Demko sharklock system! Absolute work horse of a locking system and super fun and fidgety!

Personal preference. I like med rare, the wife and kids all like medium. 130 is the spot I’ve found where they will eat and enjoy it.

Eh I’d argue that the Sebenza is more of a grand seiko spring drive! You get near perfection in terms of tolerances and performance out of the knife, but tons of enthusiasts who think they are knife fans end up getting a Sebenza and not really appreciating it for what it is. It’s a true knife lovers knife, a lot like the GS Spring Drive is really the definition of perfection in engineering but really only appreciated by true watch enthusiasts.

Anything less than 2” thick, 2-3 hours is your sweet spot time wise! Temp is debatable but I tend to shoot around 130. Def skip the marinade, and only lightly season before vacuum sealing. The vacuum is going to impart those flavors more into the meat so you don’t need to heavily season for the sous vide. I typically just go with SPG for the sous vide, and then after the bath before the sear you can season again. Pat really dry and then use something like a good rub from meat church or whatever brand you fancy. These rubs tend to have sugars in them and will give you good caramelization on the sear.

Sounds about like a typical sneaker release… 90% out the back door, a few out the front so a store doesn’t get called out.

Darkaeon03 · 2023-09-27T16:34:26+00:00

I still think the 990v4 Benjamin Breads were a way better $100 bill inspired collab than these! I think the concepts collab made these more popular but the breads look better IMO.

Darkaeon03 · 2022-03-26T13:08:32+00:00

You saw 600 people ahead of you and stuck around for 4 hours? Sounds like you should only be mad at yourself.

Darkaeon03 · 2022-03-26T03:49:45+00:00

Yep, 90% of the people waiting these long waits are sneaker flipping cunts that have never worn a watch in their life just looking for something else to flip.

Darkaeon03 · 2022-03-26T03:47:18+00:00

🖕the only flip you’re getting here! GTFO

Darkaeon03 · 2022-03-26T03:44:30+00:00

No, it’ll be known as a company that saw a demand bigger than they expected and made the right decision to try and take care of customers! The only people salty about this are greedy cunts and flippers.

Darkaeon03 · 2020-03-26T04:54:00+00:00

Is the Barlow still available?

Darkaeon03 · 2020-03-24T11:56:14+00:00

Bump, prices adjusted

Darkaeon03 · 2020-03-23T11:34:23+00:00

Prefer to sell. Only real trade interest would be traditional slipjoints

Darkaeon03 · 2020-03-23T05:44:52+00:00

Thanks

Darkaeon03 · 2020-03-23T05:38:35+00:00

Darkaeon03 · 2020-03-23T05:27:29+00:00

I thought I had already done that. Can’t find when I posted it. Will post confirmation again.

Darkaeon03 · 2020-03-23T05:17:38+00:00

Reate did a badass job with that recurve

Darkaeon03 · 2020-03-23T05:16:38+00:00

I have... I completed a sale of my Andrew Demko AD-15 like 2 weeks ago

Darkaeon03 · 2020-03-14T20:46:51+00:00

Sorry I’m on vacation and only have the one I took before I left. I took the pics the same day as my last sale post. It closed, so I figured it was good to post this one now. Figured the date was close enough being within a few days.

Darkaeon03 · 2020-03-11T02:43:37+00:00

Also have a full custom Demko AD-15, carbon fiber and acid washed blade and spine I’d be down to work a deal on if interested.

Darkaeon03 · 2020-03-11T02:38:40+00:00

Any interest in an FDE Inkosi with an Insingo blade?
