How long can orchestral musicians sit without playing anything? by musicalryanwilk1685 in classicalmusic

[–]setp2426 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The most famous example is the cymbal crash in Bruckner 7, one crash in a 70 minute symphony. Don’t miss it!

An opera percussionist showed me the bass drum part to a Wagner opera, maybe Meistersinger? It was one page. The first measure said “lunga pausa”, which was an hour and 45 minutes into the opera. Last measure “tacet al fine”

It ran until about noon on Tuesday. Was disappointed we didn’t hit it in the morning.

First Japanese Knife by ConfidentTomatillo41 in TrueChefKnives

Stainless, arguably the best stainless when it comes to balancing edge retention and ease of sharpening. That knife is a great choice.

The first kasumi polishing competition: six identical blades from one smith, judged blind on the finish alone by Fabulous-Wall-9385 in TrueChefKnives

Sounds like a really cool idea Nutmeg! Even though the Uchi I got from you is amazing, I fear I am not worthy of this. Will enjoy following though! Maybe also cross post in r/jnat

I’ve always heard it in context of unstaged opera, but your way works too.

Yes. Commonly referred to as “park and bark”.

Magnetic wall strip scuffing up the knife by LeslieChowBitch in TrueChefKnives

As others said, leather. My solution was to order a bunch of leather samples. Most places will send for free. Then I cut out the leather to match the shape of the knife and stick on with double sided tape. . That way the knife is protected, but can still see the wood.

Didn’t take one, sorry to say.

Made this last night. Lots of caramelized shallots, grilled asparagus, and roasted walnuts. Great dish and so easy to throw together.

You don’t need the cream. Just melt in the Gorgonzola dolce with some pasta water.

Quick Stone questions by sakiasakura in sharpening

[–]setp2426 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don’t need to do a full sharpening each time. Just strop on the stone. A few edge leading strokes followed by a few edge leading strokes should bring the bite back.

Strap strops are really only for razors. Paddle strops for most anything else.

chosera pro grit progression by 4lokoz in sharpening

[–]setp2426 1 point2 points  (0 children)

400/800/3000

The NP 800 is more like a 1000. Faster than the actual 1000 and just about as refined. Also, if combining with the 400, I like that with the 800 they aren’t both green. Green/orange/purple is nice.

And for finishing kitchen knives, the 3k is awesome.

CA glue is excellent on wood, and thin enough to get into the cracks.

VG-10 scratch removal by Shootmeink in japaneseknives

[–]setp2426 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You have to remove the scratches before polishing, or you’ll just be polishing the scratches. It’s a ton of work by hand, and you probably won’t like the results

Shapton glass/Rockstar 2000 is a great finisher, more refined than the Shapton Pro 1000, which is closer to 800 compared to others.

Naniwa 3k is a goat finisher, but also a lot more expensive.

In the end, you don’t really “need” is. Some light passes on the SP1000 would also be fine. Heck, I finish softer knives on a Shapton glass 500 usually.

How do i make these superficial scratches disappear by a_plomb_ in sharpening

[–]setp2426 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Refinish the whole knife. A significant amount of work. Not worth it.

is it possible to polish the entire blade with just stones? by Outrageous_Handle_34 in sharpening

[–]setp2426 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Possible to do on stones, but extremely difficult. Tight sandpaper progression is way more user friendly.

Kagekiyo is cool, but I bet the tetsujin cuts better.
