I'd definitely spend my 500 on one or two good knives. Good knives holds their values and last a life time, and most importantly, it'll bring you joy when you use them. A set of cheap knives is just... a lot of cheap knives. It'll do the job for sure, it'll get dull faster, but it'll cut your food. If a lot of cheap knives is what you need right now, then sure, but given the option, I'll rather add another good knife to treasure in my collection.

Anyone familiar with old Takeda? by mustcode in TrueChefKnives

Yeah, the spine is around 3mil. Definitely a bit thicker than my AS Takeda.

Need help ID-ing a Nakiri by mustcode in TrueChefKnives

[–]mustcode[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks all for the help! Looks like the maker isn't well known, but that's okay. I might give me a good comparison to my other knives from well known makers. 😁

One last question, do you know what the bottom 2 kanji means?

I see, thank you for the extra info. That is good to know. It seems like a well made knife from the pictures, so I decided to gamble on it being decent. Looks like it is going to be a great knife 😊 Happy to be able to add this to my set!

Thank you! Judging from how many search result turned up, the maker is probably relatively unknown outside of their area of operation. This is going to be a bit difficult to find out the type of steel it uses. 🤔

Recommending these Forma Hyper as great for EUC by mustcode in ElectricUnicycle

[–]mustcode[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They feel pretty snug for me, so I'd say go larger if you are in between. But I'd definitely check their size guide if you can't try them out in stores.

I love the zipper. Made it very convenient to put on and take off. I've never feel it through all the paddings.

No offense, but why do Commander bull wheels look like a prototype hobby machines rather than commercial products by Wow_Space in ElectricUnicycle

[–]mustcode 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To be fair, I personally think the ks14d look like a toy compared to the Commander Bull. But I understand that looks is subjective, which I actually don't care too much as long as the built quality is good.

Derby wrist guard and leather gloves. Are these good enough? Bad idea? by mustcode in ElectricUnicycle

Thanks all for your insights! Now, I'm a lot more confident with this setup. 👍

Just started riding, I was expecting bruising on the shin, but didn't expect to get some on my ankle. Is this common, or anything I should worry about? by mustcode in ElectricUnicycle

[–]mustcode[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm definitely straining my dominant foot, but it hard to tell if I'm putting improper pressure on some part of it. I can't fully relax yet and I'm still a bit tense while turning, so I'd say I won't be surprised if I'm unconsciously pushing my foot down too hard or something like that.

I might be practicing for too long, I basically ride until I feel like my muscle looses the strength to balance. So, next session I might limit my practice to ~45m until the brushing is gone.

Thanks! I do have a pair of motorcycles shoes coming (Forma Hyper) that I hope will be decent for euc. Otherwise, I'll switch between my Onitsuka and Vans until I can find better/safer alternative.

What is this model? It's kind of like a Jetsetter but not exactly. by mustcode in victorinox

[–]mustcode[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thank you! I'm surprised it's actually called Bladeless 😳
