The question that no one has asked is, "Which knife did you get?"

I use a 150 mm Tojiro Color Series honesuki for trimming fat off of chicken breasts, and silver skin from pork loin. The tip on an honesuki makes me a wizard. I liked it so much I gave one to my son as a housewarming gift when he moved into his new apartment. He agrees that the tip is magical. Unfor...

Bear007, Do you have your Brittany plugged into a block heater? Man that's cold. :lol: I hope I never live in a place where I'm able to win the contest of who-is-the-coldest, or who-is-the-hottest, or who-has-the-most-snow, etc. We are expecting a winter blast this weekend, but nothing like some of ...

Great! How many gigs of data will I be able to put in my wish list.

Oh, wait. I think my wish list is everything on your site. Maybe that will simplify things for me.

Is there a reason you have ruled out the Takada Classics? AS core with reactive iron cladding and a tall profile. Seems to check all the boxes.

You might take a look at one of these. I have the 240 Yo handle version and it's my goto knife. Clad AS steel is great.

Right up my alley. I'm a retired accountant...I live for tedium.

A couple of days ago - after sharpening my knives - I was zesting a lemon and managed to fillet off a piece of my left index finger. :o Stupid mistake, wrong technique, and a poorly executed wrong technique. :roll: Yesterday, I cut myself shaving. Still not sure how I did that. Last night I was goin...

I've been intrigued by the Yaxell Dragon series. This one is pretty heavy for a 210, uses some fairly good steel that's supposed to have excellent edge retention, and the Micarta handle should last a lifetime plus some. Don't need a 210 myself right now so I haven't pulled the trigger on one yet but...

Silicone baking mats. Good to 450 (ish) degrees F. Nothing sticks to them. Put one of those mats on a cookie sheet and bake your butternut squash on it and clean up is a breeze. They're cheap and re-usable (many times). I started using them instead of foil to line my cookie sheets after reading more...

You done good, Grasshopper.

If you are open to something a little bigger, she might like a small gyuto. If so, this one would be great at 185 mm, and it's right at your budget point. https://www.chefknivestogo.com/toitkshgy18.html Developing the discipline to care for a reactive carbon steel knife will be a good learning exper...

Here are a couple that meet your criteria.

Go to the closeout page. You can get a Tojiro Color Series 240 gyuto, a 270 suji, and a 120 petty for under $110 total. I have the 150 honesuki and the 120 petty and they are great knives for the price although you will have to sharpen them. Once they are sharp they hold and edge well and are pretty...

Tojiro color series knives are all on clearance. Just bought a honesuke and a 120mm petty for $43. The honesuke was $25 and is a gift for my son. I already had one from a year or two ago, and for the price it's fantastic. Easy to sharpen and holds the edge well. One of my favorite knives. I haven't ...

does that mean also that for every state you ship to you now need a permit (to legally charge taxes) to sell in that state? Yes! A permit is required. Technically, if you purchase something on-line without sales tax, you are supposed to remit use tax to your state. Businesses generally pay use tax ...

Guess they don't have OSHA in the U.K.
