Re: Some guidance on handles needed...
Thank you for the responses. I’m starting my search for a handle that is longer, slimmer, and a bit heavier.

Some guidance on handles needed...
I just got this and I love it and it is perfect except for the handle which I find to be too large in diameter. I’d prefer a slimmer and possibly longer handle but would this throw off the balance of the knife? Any thoughts would be much appreciated as I have no point of reference or comparison. [ur...

Re: Squash: The not so silent killer of knives
Call me simple but I like to not overcomplicate things. This thing will cut squash and pumpkins all day long. No chipping, sharpening or worries involved.

Re: Considering edge pro, which stones
After a lot of trial and error with numerous stones, I have found my perfect set up is CKTG diamond plates (140,400, 1000) and SG 2000 and 4000. I prefer Chosera but stick with SG because they make less of a mess.

Re: 60 grit stone is here!
Interesting thread here. My question is what are the advantages to using very low grit stones like these as opposed to using diamond plates?

Re: Your preferred stone progression
I often wonder, Peter, what motivates a person to finally seek to have a knife sharpened that has been figuratively dragged behind a car for 20 minutes. I can't get most of my neighbors to give me their knives to sharpen even though I know they are dull. Some use cheapo pull-through sharpeners, oth...

Re: Favorite steak and how you cook it?
I’m not a pro so I like to keep it simple. I’ll take any cut with sea salt and fresh pepper and lay it directly onto very hot charcoal. About 3 minutes a side.

Re: Crispy pork skin finish.
I live near a Cantonese restaurant that makes superb roasted pork belly that is very crisp. My thinner knives also slide on it and I have found that the knife geometry is what is most important- I always use a very sharp Henckels. There is a reason why the cooks use the heavier cleavers to cut it up.
