Thanks Rob!

Did some horse trading yesterday and got this-

A 300mm AS core Hiro suji watch out Brisket!

Hmmm... that could use a new Handle.....

Wow. The Hiromoto AS (aogami supersteel series) is one of my favorite knives. F&F is usually just good, as opposed to excellent to great, but they give you one smoking blade. The carbon core is up there with the best of them, and the somewhat cheesy stainless cladding makes upkeep a breeze, so it's an ideal entry into the world of carbon knives. The result is a three toned effect- clean stainless sides, a few mm of patina, and a sparkling bevel. You can get them wicked sharp.

300mm? Now you need a bigger cutting board. It never ends.

There was nothing wrong with the old Cuisinart coffee maker but The Wife® and I felt the need for an upgrade. It's not exactly quiet but it's nice having freshly ground coffee waiting for us in the morning.

Had a Restaurant Depot run today and picked up 17 lb Brisket. I finally found a man sized 12 qt "Tupperware" for soaking Corned beefs and brining chickens, a couple of cases of Mexicali Coke, some real pepperoni which may get smoked and end up in Southington Connecticut on May 1st.

Thank you for not getting me sick by saying how much you paid per pound.

That's not too far from the truth.

C'mon, tell me the two of us couldn't polish that puppy off with a couple of Dr. Brown's.

Michael,
That's a wholesale-ish regular price, in a small shop if you can find a full packer it can be 2x's that!

Two Scores to post today-

A 165mm Ichimonji Deba-

 

[JPM]

Wow! That cutting board is beautiful. And the knife definitely looks shave ready.

 

[DaveMartell]

Jim, that board looks great with that new knife on it. I see that you've been hitting the stones already?

 

[pyrrhusmj]

Nice very nice...... I need to send a couple of knives to this Dave Martell guy......

 

[Alacrity59]

That knife looks as if it has some serious heft to it. Is it like a small cleaver?

It does have some weight to it in comparison to a standard Japanese knife. However its used like a fillet knife on fish and small critters.

Many chefs sharpen the tip and leave the heel for slicing through bones, tails, heads ect.

Here is a video of one in use.
