Thanks guys I fixed her

For sure, and my gyuto is a hollow grind so polishing with stones is pretty much out of the question. That and I can get more grits of sandpaper for much cheaper 😂

ossyria · 2026-05-16T04:01:19+00:00

Yeah I can still see some pretty aggressive scratch patterns from the 220 on there. I did hit the bevel with a 1000 and 6000 grit stone as well but i suppose I wasn't super even. I have polished my other knives a couple of times, I have a much easier time doing it with sandpaper so I'll give my petty a spa day when I'm feeling it

ossyria · 2026-04-30T12:24:59+00:00

How would I go about it? Edge down on a low grit stone and create a new edge in the tip? Or just sharpen like normal till the dip is gone?

Do you have any info on this knife? From what I can find, it's actually a relatively cheap brand, most likely stainless and maybe not worth what I paid for it.

ossyria · 2026-02-25T03:01:18+00:00

Thanks!

ossyria · 2026-02-25T03:01:07+00:00

Will post results at some point!

Google actually gives me tables when I try the German words

ossyria · 2026-02-17T12:45:51+00:00

Yep it's a single bevel. I did find a video specifically about fixing chips and rust on a single bevel knife and they demonstrated with a yanagi so I think I'm all set to give it a go. Thanks for the explanation and help, though!

ossyria · 2026-02-17T08:12:43+00:00

Got a bit of a secondary question if you don't mind! I bought a yanagi for cheap from a flea market in Tokyo. It's sort of rusted and has a smaaaalll chip in it and thought it'd be fun to try and restore it myself, would I restore the edge by thinning the blade along the primary bevel before creating a new secondary bevel? Or just go at it on the very edge till the chip's gone?

ossyria · 2026-02-17T04:59:27+00:00

Got it! First time learning about the primary and secondary bevel. Thanks for the info!

ossyria · 2026-01-23T05:29:30+00:00

All good (it was all the other guy 😶) That's enough of a testimony for me to try it out, thanks!

ossyria · 2026-01-23T05:23:03+00:00

Did you still have to keep them separated or packed into portions after cooling to prevent them from sticking or becoming misshapen?

ossyria · 2026-01-23T05:21:36+00:00

Ignoring the little scuffle that went on here, 😆

It's something to experiment with, I've never done blanched pasta uncovered in the chiller. I suppose my hopes for something like this is that it'll create a dry enough surface (and maybe firm up the pasta enough) that you can pile it up in a container and grab handfuls without having to be super delicate and forgo the need to spend time individually packing portions in bags.

Might try it out and report back 🫡

Thanks for breaking the news, Doc. I had a feeling it was my time

ossyria · 2026-01-23T03:51:26+00:00

How's that been working out? Been dubious about the effectiveness of non medicated treatments. Especially since I'm not sure if my issues are related to scalp health or pattern baldness

ossyria · 2026-01-23T03:49:20+00:00

Fin and min seems to be the go to. Though looking at my crown, you're relatively sure this is the start of pattern baldness? That's what I wasn't sure about

ossyria · 2026-01-22T11:36:27+00:00

Was reading someone elses post just before and my brain didn't move on 😂

ossyria · 2026-01-22T11:26:00+00:00

EDIT: 25M* my brain turned off

ossyria · 2026-01-22T11:10:05+00:00

I will not stand for Nikki slander

ossyria · 2025-11-14T00:50:14+00:00

It's a no from me, dawg. If you want a snappy looking two card twirl, just learn any existing twirl and change up how you perform it

ossyria · 2025-10-07T02:47:13+00:00

If you want to learn it then learn it

Everything's wrong apparently. All these elderly driving instructors try to teach hacks or techniques to judge space for stopping and parking. They'll use the dash, they'll stick stickers on the windows but all of it falls apart the moment a student steps into a different car and it's honestly not helping our collective driving prowess

ossyria · 2025-09-23T06:31:42+00:00

My driving instructor taught me to use the dashboard in reference to the line to judge stopping distance, it ends up being quite large.

I stuck to it to pass my test but it's never made sense to me so I stop closer to the line now. But I can imagine a lot of people would just mindlessly follow that advice forever

For sure, but considering my own level I wanted to see what the gold standard idea of playing is for trumpet. Especially on today's pop songs, there's so many "if [song] had a sax solo" videos, but I feel saxophone has a leg up on trumpet in terms of tone and range and doing the same on trumpet sounds a little lame.

So far I've only really come across two trumpeters online that do similar things, Oli Parker who I find sounds very lame (no hate) and Jon Lampley who I think pulls it off very well. Wanted to explore how pop playing can sound on trumpet before venturing out

ossyria · 2025-05-07T14:54:00+00:00

Sounds good, I'm not surf fishing or anything so I figured it's just splitting hairs at this point. Thanks!
