You do appear to have a hard on for me, with repeated ad hominem attacks. It’s nice to know I have my own stalker. You clearly failed to note the inherent self mockery in my post.
I am not claiming self superiority but will assert that there is a functional real difference between softer western knives and Japanese knives, I own both and use them for different purposes. Using nice things is a nice and brings a sense of joy.

😂 Absolutely no arousal here. I have assumed, possibly wrongly, that someone who glorifies in stirring as much shit as you clearly do could take the odd gentle knock back. And whilst you may like to feel you are self-mocking, your genuine smugness never fails to shine through. Post #5850 is one of the more superior, patronising, things I've seen on here in ages. And that is quite some bar to meet.
I have no idea re your knife point, there's every chance you're right, I exclusively use the pro cook cheapos or asian store cleavers. But you might want to think whether you could have made your point with a little less condescension.

To summarise: to cut tomatoes ever so slightly finer one would need a superior knife, a superior aesthetic, a dedicated work surface and an extra sink? I always thought my dislike of raw tomatoes was a curse, but now see it is a blessing. Still, I accept that I am inadequate and must commit Seppuku, but I lack the correct knife. Maybe the rather sharp Opinel in my pocket will do the job?

Generally, this forum does geeky enthusiasm really well and makes it seem attractive. You provide a salutary lesson that it can occasionally spill over into superiority and posturing.
