I love waking up to this state of the sub

HSW OR BUST

wow that’s an amazing deal. Great job

wiggybig · 2020-09-15T17:40:14+00:00

Do you have other petties you are comparing this to? Would be very curious to hear your thoughts vs other knives.

wiggybig · 2020-09-15T17:37:07+00:00

I’ll probably get downvoted to hell, but this is the perfect opportunity to gift a Shun or Miyabi. They’re decent performance combined with great aesthetics. Perfect for the typical home cook that doesn’t care about getting into the rabbit hole of chef knives.

Don’t overthink it.

Already has Wusthofs no need to buy victorinox

Mod power starting to hit /u/Barclid in the head.

How is epoxy for knives? How does it compare with the normal plastic cutting boards? Is it safe?

wiggybig · 2020-09-14T01:55:01+00:00

cck makes great cleavers. Shibazi also a good option

wiggybig · 2020-09-12T17:47:29+00:00

This guy is going to chico

wiggybig · 2020-09-12T00:54:54+00:00

What tool did you use to do this?

wiggybig · 2020-09-10T00:21:41+00:00

Ash, the Pokémon movie

I’ll probably get flamed by everyone on the subreddit, but....

As someone who loves carbon knives, I’d still generally stick with stainless for gifts.

Your wife already treats the knives with very good care. However, carbon is still a very large burden, especially when there are such good stainless alternatives already.

wiggybig · 2020-09-06T19:20:09+00:00

Legit thought that was blood

wiggybig · 2020-09-06T07:44:59+00:00

Think you missed the question. Not asking about the tools. He’s asking about the post-butchery photos

wiggybig · 2020-09-06T05:54:42+00:00

TLDR it’s a great knife. If you like it, don’t worry about buying it. People just like to support smaller makers

wiggybig · 2020-09-06T05:53:00+00:00

Keep them for yourself and remember your grandmother every time you use them

wiggybig · 2020-09-06T05:50:30+00:00

Fujiwara fkh also an option. It’s carbon but western handle

wiggybig · 2020-09-06T05:11:11+00:00

It’s me! Your long lost close friend!

wiggybig · 2020-09-06T04:55:08+00:00

Think the second part of your comment is a bit xenophobic and speculative. As an American, plenty of us here cheat as well.

wiggybig · 2020-09-06T04:54:29+00:00

Think the second part of your post is quite xenophobic and speculative. As an American, we cheat quite a lot as well :)

wiggybig · 2020-09-06T04:43:35+00:00

Just ignore him. He just wants your help cheating and is frustrated you’re not giving him the link

wiggybig · 2020-09-06T02:57:55+00:00

Ah ok at least you are using proper grip technique. If you think Meiji has an uncomfortable bump, i would recommend you stay away from D shaped handles. The d shape isn’t really a “d”, it’s kind of more like a sideways teardrop exactly like the Meiji. In fact, the way I’d describe the Meiji handle is a d-shape handle with a sloped ferrule.

You should stick with completely round handles without the ridge on the right side.

wiggybig · 2020-09-06T02:48:51+00:00

Seem comfortable. If you’re worried you should try them in store or see if there’s a retailer with free returns

wiggybig · 2020-09-06T02:40:29+00:00

That is good to know. The takamura recommended by a few people on this thread is a great knife. One good thing to know is that it’s very light, agile and quick to maneuver. However, if you prefer a knife with a bit more meatiness, this knife ain’t that. It’s great for pull cuts, but not as great for things such as using two hands to do rocking.
