My younger bro of Razorback fame is a chef wannabe and he's been going crazy for knives of late. I hate having him over in my kitchen, as he just trashes my knives saying they lack sharpness and balance.
Since he finished his course, I've stopped arguing with him about food and how to cook. Wala na, hindi na ako maka bola.

From what i've read, hindi naman pala magkalayo yung new hobby mo being a knifenut to being an audionut. Precision is the key! Ingat ka lang, pag nabasa 'tong thread mo from the Central Command, baka ma recruit ka ng Yakuza. With my initial journey into the dark side, myembro na rin ako ng Takusa!
My best regards also to Ms Y!

If you ever go to Russia via Dubai, you're welcome to stay in my place but you'll have to live with my only set of knives...from Ikea.

dante wrote:Tito, when you get into a hobby, you really pull out all the stops huh? I envy your passion Bro. And I can understand your fascination for knives even if my interest in it gets expressed only along the commercial cheap Santokus made by Global. Wow! I hope you still write your non-audio pieces here on WS. We all benefit from your insight.

reminds me of John Bobbit
Tito, interesting hobby and corallary hobby you got there. We all should make a trip to New York for Tito's Sushi Tasting Festival.
BTW, guns here are required to be in locked safe, is there any regulation when it comes to knives? They could be as dangerous.

The main reason I have not jumped into it is because (I think) they are for right handed cutters only.
And the second reason is that they are very expensive. The third they require a lot of great care ... they rust.
Tito - part of this hobby is the sharpening! Do you also have a collection of sharpening stones... they are just as expensive and there are the different grades

I can imagine that if ever you go into biking/mountainbiking - you are the type who would most definitely have about a dozen different bikes immediately and a collection of tires! I am sure these beautiful knives would make you a master sushi chef in a hurry and hopefully, you can demo your skills when you visit us again - the ingredients are on us, but you are warned ... our apetites for sushi are forged in the saisaki tradition - as in "eat all you can". hehe
