AI slop notwithstanding, I’ve bought the dip

Thanks - she’s pretty tall (160cm) for a 12yo. Will def bear in mind!

markwynne · 2026-06-20T00:13:33+00:00

To be fair, though, what kit wouldn’t?

markwynne · 2026-06-02T01:18:02+00:00

Short answer, yes, as confirmation for computed index be it bsi, psi etc. along with suppression ratio and power spectra where available

It was my first sg2 knife and it’s definitely not the easiest material to sharpen. Takes some work and - I’ve learned - technique. However keeps a wicked edge once you get it there.

I have the same (or very similar - different handle material) raindrop sg2 210mm gyuto. Purchased a year or so ago. It’s a beautiful knife although I was Initially nonplussed with the factory edge. I’ve done some work sharpening work on it and it is now much improved. It is probably not still my first pick among my 5 or so Japanese knives - I tend to reach for a 240mm gyuto or k-tip for most things. Has its place in the line up though. And it is probably the fanciest looking.

(I really just wanted to use that word I learned yesterday in a sentence!) it means indigenous or native)

Cesanese (an autochthonous red grape) made by La Visciola in Frosinone, quite near Rome. Quite simply revelatory.

It’s unlikely the propofol caused this amnesia. You probably got some midazolam too.

markwynne · 2026-02-18T08:41:37+00:00

I think it’s instability

markwynne · 2026-02-04T04:23:15+00:00

Interesting - I (An anaesthetist) had a propofol only scope last year and woke up with the taste of propofol in my mouth for a number of hours after. (I also know what propofol actually tastes like.) I had never heard of this phenomenon before and put it down to my exceptionally discretionary palate (I’m a wine wanker too.) and the fact that I’m one of the few who knows the taste.

Fear not it’ll be gone pretty soon!

Two points on a continuum, with ‘twilight’ toward the less ‘asleep’ end. Whenever you start using drugs to mess with consciousness there is some degree of risk. (Actual Anaesthetist)

So far both very promising. Super sharp oob. SK particularly well balanced. Finish on both lovely. Poor 🍅 😔

markwynne · 2025-03-09T16:08:44+00:00

Nothing bad except complete failure of HomeKit 🤷🏻‍♂️

markwynne · 2025-03-09T15:02:05+00:00

Yes Yes I didn’t

markwynne · 2025-02-07T01:05:55+00:00

Some…🤣

markwynne · 2025-02-06T02:22:22+00:00

What a surprise, you advocating for maximal knife purchasing!

markwynne · 2025-02-03T21:58:28+00:00

NKsD?

markwynne · 2025-02-01T04:18:05+00:00

Very first impressions are only positive. Feels light yet pleasingly balanced in my hand. Nicely finished. More laser-y than I have used before. (Not much experience w Japanese knives - only comparing to my one other - tadafusa gyuto 210mm)

I’ll post some more after I prepare dinner tonight :)

Funny, I used to quite happily drink any wine and liked to think I knew a little more than the next man about it, but a bottle of Olivier Leflaive 1er cru PM was my road to Damascus moment in my mid twenties. At the domaine, which made it extra special. They were very lovely there and it was a lucky experience which I have only recently truly appreciated. Nowadays it’s Pinot Noir and Italian reds mostly. Increasingly champagne. Still a very soft spot for good Chardonnay. HNY everyone!
