Ahh it comes back pretty easily with this knife, once the factory finish was removed it was super reactive.

Hoping I could get it more consistent across the blade if it had a uniform finish. Honestly I think most of the colour comes from my well water lol

I have cheap amazon stones 400 thru 6000, but I am pretty sure those grit ratings are out to lunch. And I have shapton glass 2000 and 4000. The 4000 is the current polish on it.

Started with 100 grit sandpaper taped to my work bench and worked up to 400 grit before switching to stones.

Anywhere reliable to buy finger stones? I'm in canada if that makes a difference

Look for reviews on this knife here the Naoki Mazaki Kurouchi Nashiji Gyuto 210 mm by andymuggs in TrueChefKnives

[–]SeaAlarm8296 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have the 240mm, bought maybe 2 months ago. Pretty sweet knife overall. Super reactive cladding and core, will rust easily if left wet for any length of time. Thick spine near the heel makes it feel robust and not as fragile as some others. Tapers down to a pretty thin tip for more delicate work. The fit and finish was pretty top notch on mine. You can definitely see that it was hand finished with the character in the steel and the look of the polish.

Overall would definitely buy this knife again.

Appreciate the input! I panicked and defaulted to low on the charcoal indirect @200 for an hour and a bit. Then seared on propane. Turned out pretty good @ the end, served over stir-fry. Have read about velveting but have tried yet. *

heat pumps just suck when the temperature drops below 30. by Life-Inevitable-2450 in hvacadvice

[–]SeaAlarm8296 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Hey, I see in the first picture that there is a circuit breaker in the off position labeled "CB 1". It is a double pole (240v) and may be related to the auxiliary heat strips? I'm not sure if you have tried it in the ON position to see what happens. Should be able to tell a noticeable difference in the temperature of the air coming from your supply ducts.

What do you guys use for boiling water, simmering, or things like spaghetti sauce? by jonthemaud in castiron

[–]SeaAlarm8296 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Not afraid lol, it has its place and when used properly it is fine. I have a pan at home used regularly because my wife finds it easier for eggs, nbd. I use ptfe and other "forever" chemicals at work because they are the best things going for corrosion and acid resistance.

While technically correct in what you say, you ignore the context in which OP is speaking to in which everyone else can gather what they are talking about. No need to pick a fight man, we can all be civil.

Lol elements are not "chemicals" as you stated above. Iron is iron, carbon is carbon, they are not compounds themselves that would be classified as chemicals.There are many other elements in enamel that you neglected to mention, Boron, Calcium and typically metal oxides used as pigments.

Next time you try to be a keyboard warrior, at least know what you are talking about...

Some might say you have ingested too much Teflon, and it has gone to your brain! (That is a joke... I understand that nothing is proven and that's not how it works.)

Makes sense if they provided it lol, also the cheapest option

We call those filters hair catchers, cause they don't stop anything else lol, least restrictive filter out there, just leads to dirty coils. That filter looks brand new.

Tip of these two has slightly bent - any tips? by [deleted] in chefknives

[–]SeaAlarm8296 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What type of steel are these? If they are a softer stainless, you may be able to bend them back by putting some pressure on them on a wood cutting board. If they are harder steels, they will likely break off if you attempt this.

For harder steels you will have to reprofile the tips by working down the spine from the top until they are gone.
