Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By WICOUNSEL: Looks a bit staged. Knife placement could have been a little better, little covered up right now. Crouton or crumb in the foreground. On the whole, nice pic. More info on this cheese please https://i.imgur.com/HiyntkD.png I put the knife there really quickly as my wife hates waiting for me to set up shots. Let me see if I can find the wrapper for exact details but it was an aged cheddar and blue cheese they may have put together there. The cheese counter guys were raving about. Huntsman maybe? It was good not my favorite on the board. The goat blue was pretty awesome |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By DFARM: I'm so jealous. I'd probably eat myself to death if I was presented with a spread like that. Well done sir. That makes a lot of sense. (and speaks to me ATM because of the nature of my kiln.). The main reason I am thinking about a different steel is that I want something more corrosion resistant. We'll see what happens when I run out of 1084. I hate not having a decent steel supplier close by. The only steel I have managed to find locally is o1, but it's expensive (a little over $10 a foot for 1.5"x1/8", iirc). In the quantities that I order, shipping can double the price of my order. I'll get something figured out though. I recently reground my old hickory chef's knife again and this is the first time I used it. I cut one medium onion and this is the patina that got started. https://www.AR15.Com/media/mediaFiles/78442/KIMG0719_2_JPG-1410396.JPG Pretty sure my liver hates me from all the fatty meat and cheese. And alcohol |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By SurtrsFire: Is there something that is the hation zero but scaled up a little bit? The Hati. More specifically the newer Hati R's which are the Half Carbon Fiber variants of the bigger F95 model. Let me see if I can find a pic with both so you can see the size difference or if you have any specific comparisons you think I have that would be a good size reference ETA

cancelled my order for the wicked edge pro pack 2 and just went with the wicked edge gen 3 pro instead with a few additional diamond stones and some leather strops
 figured id probably want one anyways after trying to sharpen so many FFG knives, worth the extra $200 to just get it. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By WICOUNSEL: We picked up some of the cheap Kirkland American Vodka for comparison to what we have had thus far. It was $13, but typically Kirkland brand is pretty decent, name brand quality stuff, just off brand pricing. They also had a Kirkland French Vodka for $20. Was thinking maybe the Kirkland American Vodka was supposed to be their version of Titos and the French one was supposed to be more like Grey Goose. Didn't grab the French one. Well, drank it neat next to the Elit. Holy ^&*%! It was bad. It will probably mix OK, but no comparison to the Elit. What I need to do is get some Grey Goose to compare next to the Elit. Although, my wife pointed out we have more vodka than we can drink in a lifetime. Dont bother trying to compare Goose against Elit. You'd just be wasting money. The Elit is substantially better. The money you spend on the Goose is money better spent on more Elit. |
