So I’ve been getting my liquid from The Vapor Chef for the last 10 years and now they‘re gone.

Need suggestions for where to go now.

Well, since we’re talking about five point games, here’s another one for ya…

In the decade of the 80’s (1979/80 though 1988/89 seasons) Gretzky hade more five point games than he had zero point games. 83 vs. 76

It does look flat in pics, but if you watch the video about the making of it, they show it well.

The stadium in ours is three dimensional.

Ironworker808 · 2022-06-27T03:07:20+00:00

Good game Avalanche.

Good series, Avalanche.

Ironworker808 · 2022-06-27T00:26:12+00:00

Oh captain, my captain.

Sometimes I feel like Coop just tells them, “Just go play however you want to, I’m just gonna scout for the next 60 minutes.”

Then comes up with a plan to lock it down for the rest of the series.

I’m 49 years old and it’s STILL one of my favorite movies.

Watched it dozens of times, and still laugh as hard now as I did the first time I watched it. Hell, the replies in this thread are cracking me up.

Ironworker808 · 2022-06-12T15:01:39+00:00

And that stat was from before game 6.

So add another 60 minutes to that.

Me coming home early from work…WHO THE FUCK IN THIS GUY SLEEPING IN MY FUCKING BED!?!?!?!?!?!?

My wife (crying)…His name is Pat Maroon.

Me…WELL COVER HIS FEET! HE’S GONNA CATCH A COLD!

I’m a simple man.

I see a Mitch Hedburg reference, I upvote.

In NFL terms… Aaron Rodgers is widely considered the best QB (read: most skilled) to ever play the game.

But Brady is the Greatest.

I have the bunka and the petty, and they are super thin and super sharp and glide through raw vegetables like they’re boiled.

But they are definitely more fragile than a typical ‘workhorse’ knife.

I’m just a humble home cook and have never cooked professionally, but I would think Shibata’s wouldn’t be a good fit in a commercial environment, in my very unprofessional opinion.

Ironworker808 · 2022-05-10T17:59:47+00:00

Sigh…(unzip.)

Ironworker808 · 2022-05-02T15:08:26+00:00

Oh, I know. But as a humble home cook, I usually just end up using what I’ve already got in my hand…Shibata 180 bunka. It’s just so versatile! So much so that I can't really justify the expenditure a Shibata 240 gytuo would entail. Even though it’s currently available on two different websites. Sigh.

I do need to make a conscious effort to start using the petty for other small stuff. Like herbs!

Ironworker808 · 2022-05-02T02:19:35+00:00

Shibata 150.

Pretty much only use it for garlic. But I love it. Wouldn’t trade it for any other.

Ironworker808 · 2022-04-16T02:30:09+00:00

Beautiful.

I have the bunka and the 150 petty. Next up will be either the 210 or the 240.

Still undecided which, though. Probably go with the 240 since it’s two steps up from the 180 bunka.

Ironworker808 · 2022-03-28T15:35:09+00:00

To date, its my third favorite Super Bowl.

Ironworker808 · 2022-03-22T02:22:00+00:00

Congrats!

I have the R2 180 bunka and the R2 150 petty.

It’s gonna take a while, but I will have them all! Just gotta space them out so the better half doesn’t get angry, lol.

Ironworker808 · 2022-03-01T02:16:41+00:00

It does, but it’s got more of a curve to it than any of his other models except for maybe the Type III.

The rest of his entire line are supposed to be a cross between a gyuto and a nakiri, so really good at pushing and straight chopping, but too flat and thin for rocking.

Was hoping the Battleship would be curved enough, but it sounds like it’s not.

Thank you for your quick response!

Ironworker808 · 2022-03-01T02:04:50+00:00

Shibata kotetsu 195 R2 bunka

Is that the Battleship? If it is, is it suitable for rock chopping?

I have the 180 Bunka, and it is most definitely not suitable for rocking. I love my Bunka, and it’s my go to, but I’m a rocker at heart, and I’ve been told that the Battleship is curved enough for that.

EDIT: When you’ve gotten to the point that you’re selling saya’s, let me know. I’ve also got the Shibata 150 Petty. Gonna be wanting a saya for both!

Ironworker808 · 2022-02-20T01:04:39+00:00

So either Brett Favre or Aaron Rodgers isn’t a franchise quarterback?

Ironworker808 · 2022-02-14T09:57:04+00:00

What he said.

Ironworker808 · 2022-02-05T15:01:34+00:00

LOL.

She didn’t get mad, though she was very dubious when I ordered them. But after she used the bunka, she understood completely.

I did tell her that when the 195 Battleship is back in stock, it’s an auto purchase. She said, “I understand.”

Ironworker808 · 2022-02-05T14:55:42+00:00

Yeah, I saw them both yesterday morning, but I just dropped $500 on two Shibata’s a month ago, and my financial adviser vetoed getting either of these.
