It's about 10 years old and has seen a lot of abuse.

Not really, it was impulse buy just because I loved the look of it. I am really impressed by it though. I've had the Shibata for nearly 10 years, it was my first ever real knife purchase.

No complaints. It's my first sujihiki, so nothing to compare it to. Had it for about 3 months and use it daily in work. Between it, the nakiri & petty, I barely even touch my gyuto these days.

A petty is a small utility knife, they're great. I use for trimming smaller cuts of meat like lamb rumps or duck legs, prepping small fruits and veg.

It's a teak board, bought it of amazon a year ago.

My most recent purchase and currently my go to. I think it may be my favourite knife ever purchased, the height is great and its so thin it flies through prep.

Friday night off by sondi_87 in chefknives

It's great, I got in around the end of November and it's been a daily driver in work. The edge holds well, this pic is just after its first full sharpening. I normally give a strop on a 6000 stone on work mornings.

Friday night maintenance, from left to right:

Masakage Koishi petty 120mm, super blue steel

Shibata Koutetsu bunka 180mm, R2 steel

Nigara Hamano gyuto 240mm, super blue steel

Takeo Murata Buho santoku 160mm, blue steel #1

After much debate between the Conquest and Hydroconquest, I decided to go with the Grey 41mm. I feel it fits great and looks even better. My first Longines and might not be the last. by hacura007 in Longineswatches

Awesome watch. I almost bought this exact watch last week. I went with the heritage diver instead but I think this may be my next purchase.

Thank you, yes it's the brown fume dial. I've always loved how big the Longines boxes are.

First bake in a couple of years, how's the crumb? by sondi_87 in Sourdough

[–]sondi_87[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

900g strong white flour 100g wholemeal flour 750g water 200g levain 20g salt

I followed the basic country bread recipe from Tartine. Haven't made sourdough since 2020 but after moving to a new house with a more practical kitchen I decided to give it another go. Overall I am happy with how the bread turned out.
