The boss man put me to the test to find his wife a set (which I swiftly shot down) of knives for Christmas. Right now I am thinking at a minimum a gyuto and a 150-160ish petty and probably a paring. Maybe even throw a Santoku in the mix too but doubt it. I haven't bought much stainless and...

I just read an article in the Chicago Tribune about decanting wines in a blender to aerate evenly through the whole batch in just a few minutes. They stated that they did a blind taste test with wine industry professionals and sommeliers and they wholeheartedly preferred the hyper-aerated ones...

I picked up a set of four forgecraft knives off of ebay last week just for giggles and mainly because I wanted to have a few extra knives laying around when I am boning out deer. Anywho, the knives arive and the previous owner must have been a chain smoker because these knives absolutely reek...

Calling on the wealth of the Kanji KKF brain!! I just picked up this vintage piece out of an estate sale on the bay and was trying to figure out - who, what, when where or how about it. I wasn't familiar with it, but for some reason had to take it. Any thoughts / translations deeply...

Seeing as the stork has been busy in the last couple of days, I thought I would start this thread up so folks could share the bouncing baby joy with the rest of us. Definitely better in its own thread vs. having it randomly througout. Once again congrats David & Matt and feel free to give us...

My father went in for emergency surgery tonight for what we thought was a somewhat minor blockage and they ended up removing over a foot of his colon and also found out he has bowel cancer in multiple spots. The most frustrating thing is because he is on medicare, they have let this go for...

I am heading to Chicago tomorrow for a great event. Unfortunately, it is only to buy my wife her birthday gift and not to party the night away with Charlie. I tried talking her into it, but being 8 months pregnant, watching me have multiple cocktails and partake in some unbelievable food all...

As some of you may or may not know, my wife and I have been foster parents for a little under a year now. In that small amount of time we have seen swings of good and bad of the "system" and also a gambit of the bad things that can happen to children in this world whether that be from neglect...

I was just watching basketball at lunch and the new Thomas Keller commercial came on and is it just me or was that a hint at a new restaurant? Wouldn't surprise me. I'm not a big AmEx fan, but I think they did a pretty good job and put Keller even more on the American radar.

I have not ever gone to this before, just because of schedule conflicts and I looked over the list http://www.badgerknifeclub.org/show/exhibitors.shtml and the only forum member I saw on there that I knew was Del Ealy. Any others that you know of? It is almost a two hour drive from...

Does anyone have thoughts / experience with these boards. They claim that they are not hard on blades, yet seem to be pretty hard. My wife picked up two of these boards over Christmas and I haven't been able to bring myself to use them, especially with my better blades.
