Re: How to detect a burr

Q-Tips! They work great for very subtle burrs. Just drag it along the edge, if the fibers catch and pull out your edge is not smooth, you need to get rid of the tiny burr or wire edge pieces. :D

How about pan seared Orange Roughy with a rustic Buerre Blanc over Mushroom Risotto and steamed asparagus?

Re: Got my first taste

Another great place to play, Meals On Wheels. We did a stewardship thing for work one day and I ended up doing 4 hours of veggie prep with their knives.

Re: What kind of duties / custom fees do you pay?

Duty and Customs fees have nothing to do with CKTG specifically, they apply to any purchase made in the US and shipped into Canada based on dollar value. The only way to avoid this is to have it labeled as a gift and no business is going to put themselves in that situation. It is easy enough to find...

Yes, belt sanders are very fast, in fact, so fast you quickly make smaller knives out of big ones. :o :o
Don't ask me how I found that out, LOL! :lol: :lol:

RIP Red!
Our buddy Red had his last cigarette and went into the gas chamber (oven). :shock:
But, as always, he made us happy right to the end. ;) :lol:

Re: Vote on in stock out of stock feature

I think I am leaning toward option #1

I like to see that it is out of stock before I click on it. Some vendors don't tell you until you have wasted time getting to the product page.
I also like to see the price even if it is out of stock.

Just me ......... :-)
