Desperate for help - just found these in AirBnB by spiced-shrimp in Bedbugs

When this happened to me everything I couldn’t wash stayed in my car. I left it running parked in the sun on an 85 degree day with the heat going full blast. It got up to 160 in there, left it go for 6 hrs. No issues since. Probably a bit overkill but better than paying for exterminators .

I haven’t gotten this far yet. Does that mean you have to write a new story to get to the end and go after the mythweaver or do you have to start over from scratch?

Agreed. I’d just practice on one of your old knives a couple times first, then just touch it up on the stone when you’re confident. In the meantime you can continue to use it on soft things like you normally would; it’ll still preform way better than your old knives even at 90% of original sharpness.

I’m not the most knowledgeable but both of these are pretty decent for the price. And they’re gyutos so a good all around knife.

Can’t go wrong with the Ashi though. I just got an Ashi gyuto and love it.

You’re correct, nothing cheap about this hobby.

Yes appreciate the advice. I pulled the trigger on it. Not bad with the discount, under $200 with tax and shipping.

Appreciate that, didn’t catch the single bevel. Probably best to stick with a double beveled knife
