Beautiful! Takedas are at the top of my list.

 

[brucered]

Those are some beautiful knives. I have yet to purchase a Japanese kitchen knife.....maybe one day.

Here are a couple USA purchases, BBQ sauces not shown.

Just got some Grill Grates for my Kamado Joe in the mail today. Went out and bought a 2 pound Porterhouse to break them in with.

Looking hard at the ThermaQ set with the insertion probe and the air probe. I think I have to sell off some shaving stuff first though to justify that $200 price tag. Looking forward to Thermapen's next free Time Stick offer. That might get me to pull the trigger.

I love my Weber chimney starter, apple smoke goes with almost anything, and any time there is cast iron on a grill I am there.
Enjoy your scores.

I always try to get in on the Free Pocket Keychain probe. They are handy for me when I go camping.

That ThermaQ looks sweet.

Picked this up an hour ago because I want to make Brucereds Apple pancake recipe tomorrow and only own one cast iron skillet.

Saves me taking a pci of mine which just arrived a few minutes ago. Yes, on a Sunday. Just gotta love Amazon Prime.

Although they have Japanese profiles and names, none of those are actually made in Japan! The first one is from the US, the Nakiri is from France and the smaller Gyuto is from Australia, there are some great makers all over the world

They ought to cut Aaron in on the profits- he has stimulated the sale of this book

Takeda makes some great knives. If you're accomplished at thinning you can get screaming performance out of them...but even out of the box they're no slouch!

I've always loved Mert's stuff, we talked quite a bit when he first started making them. I genuinely enjoyed helping him iron out the kinks...and he's taken off into the stratosphere since when it comes to his quality and performance. Bryan's stuff though, seriously touches my sense of aesthetics. I love the combination of rough and refined. Quality where it counts and nothing else. It reminds me of my childhood growing up on a 192,000 acre cattle ranch. We made virtually every tool we owned, and appearance was far, far down the list of priorities. Oddly...that made for a lot of really attractive tools. Form following function is its own form of artwork in my eyes.

Hey Cris,
It's been great watching guys like Mert really take their knife making to the next level, the Gyuto from him cuts like a dream, as does the Nakiri from Bryan, really love the rustic feel to it as well.
The Gyuto by some chap called Cris isn't bad either
In all honesty, I have been soooo happy with the knives from you guys, they all cut great whilst looking good at the same time

Get your order in soon. Chris has been waiting for his copy to arrive since Last Easter. I think his order of the Texas made 300 pound offset smoker will arrive sooner.
