Knife porn thread

Niiice. I've been coveting one ever since I went down there and did their sharpening course.

I did their sharpening course in January.
I though it was pretty good.
I was disappointed that there wasn't more fire, sparks, smoke and general industrial noise.
Y'know - like a forge.

Ha, would've made it hard to hear the sharpening advice if the forge'd been going! The giant grinding wheel was loud enough.

You've mention the lack of fire, sparks and smoke a few times.... When lock down is over we can have a trip to a blacksmith that I know. There won't be any knife making or sharpening but there will be all the other forge type stuff.

Yeah blame the drink, you know you wanted one.

Went to the asian wholesaler again and bought this:

It has already cut me and I didn't notice. It is marketed as a watermelon knife...

what is it for ?

Says water melon, but at 30cm long, not really sure. It was £5.

sorry was talking about this

:( Not my £5 one.

I bought a couple from the website you linked earlier. Pretty happy with them :)

That is beautiful

Looks likes waves crashing at dusk.

It’s a Chinese cleaver, every day kitchen knife, much thinner than a meat cleaver, and razor sharp.

I use a Zwilling twin point one for almost everything, was spying for a fancy version. Looked at the Shun, but the handle is for right handed only...

I like to chop

Is that distortion or is the biggest cleaver concave?

Yes you right it has worn a bit near the back, last year I went a bit to hard on them bloody ribs I damaged the chopping board Mrs billygoat was not impressed.

Haha, were you swinging with both hands?!

Please don’t chop ribs with a Chinese cleaver!

Only the one hand with the 1 inch chop 🤣

What were you chopping, the bones?

Never used that website, I got my first one from Hoo Hing and the 30cm from Loon Fung.

Spare ribs . Were tough 😆

When dinner fights back.

Looks lush. Black bean sauce is a favourite of mine. Always have a jar of black beans in chili oil that I will even eat out of a jar.
