Knife porn thread

i think mine last about 16 years on average (guessing). The big end grain ones seem pretty much indestructible.

A couple of the side grain ones split where they were glued together after lots of years.

End grain boards don’t get cut up to the same extent. They’re easy to re-surface with a bit of sandpaper. The occasional wipe with linseed oil prevents absorption. Cheap boards are a false economy imho.

I've got a board that was made to flip over and cover the sink in my parents kitchen. Big crack down it for over a decade, but still hasn't split.

When I get a new kitchen I can design I'm definitely getting the thick professional kitchen boards.

I will get a thicker professional board as well, along with an end grain board. and palm off the odd boards that I have.

Some board options on eBay, can’t rely on quality so much though.

Why not use a self healing cutting mat?

A Hasegawa rubber cutting board?

Wow, that is amazingly expensive.

I think that site has an over inflated price, but they are not cheap!

Also need to make sure other family members don’t hack it to pieces with a bread knife….

family members don’t hack it to pieces with a bread knife….

Don't even joke.

Got this on Aliexpress, more stickers than a Windows laptop.

I'm going with 'insert tax inspector here' for the red one.

Great knife, I have the longer F208-1 version.
Enjoy the sticker removal, it took me almost an hour…

Misplaced my No.8 Pruning knife... No.10 arrived today as replacement. Much bigger hooked shape.

Oh and how do you do this to a knife?

Is that from the Tabac as you come out of the indoor shopping centre into the open air part?

New AliExpress cleaver:

Hezhen cleaver, which is a bit shorter a bit thinner, but a bit taller than the Shibazi F208-1 that I also have.

Supposedly a better steel core as well.
