Been a while but with the taz575 S-grind in hand, the not-so-weekly slaw rides again . . .


Green Cabbage, Carrot & taz575 80CRV2 S-Grind Gyuto, 220mm

Halving and quartering wedged a bit (this was an extraordinarily dense cabbage) but I absolutely loved its authoritative command and accuracy on the finer cuts. Such a pleasure to use!

Happy birthday, knives n cabbages! We are six years old today, to celebrate, here’s an Itto Ryu with just one cabbage.

Yay, it's getting a patina! LOL. I usually use 240s on cabbage; I find with shorter blades, I run out of edge length. I do pinch grip further up the blade, too, which doesn't help things!

Hold my beer!

With all of this bot activity I started using the quick links to be a little more efficient in how I navigate the forum and I came across this thread. Here is my contribution.

Half of a large cabbage cut a little on the course side because the room was noisy and I wanted to keep my fingers. I am saving the other half for a stir fry later. The Kobayashi SG2 Damascus Gyuto 210mm is a knife that has it all. Very nice!

I've always found that the key to a good slaw is making your own mayo.

Ready!

Nice to see this thread revived. I haven't posted one in a while but here's one from earlier today . . .

The not-very-weekly-anymore slaw rides again!

Now that's a knife! Did you do the carrots with it too or use the peeler thing?

Thanks. I use a julienne peeler for the carrots. It's one of the few single-taskers in my kitchen but when you want it, you want it!

My MACs are my travel knives and I had to make sure this one was ready for some running around this summer. What better way than to prep a big stir fry starting with cabbage? It's funny how it takes a sec to get the hang of a knife you haven't used in a couple of months. Looks like it works! On thicker veg, like a carrot or apple or even a big bell pepper, I like to see a nice clean cut that is very shiny.

There is a funny angle on the picture as I was trying to avoid glare.

Nice! The shot looks great. I don't use my MACs very often but when I do, I really like them. And they sharpen up very nicely, too.

Thanks! The MACs might not look fancy but they are pretty nice. They take a sharp edge and hold it longer than any of my trips, and the shapes and sizes are very practical. No complaints here! I use them for travel mostly and I do that because they would be easy to replace, although I've never lost a one. I did a much better job with this cabbage thanks to a few adjustments to my strategy.
