For a lot of us, grilling season is just starting to bloom. Understandably, the main course always gets the attention but KKF'ers are a sophisticated bunch and know that sides matters! Whether it's your favorite mac-n-cheese or baked beans, from slaw to heck, sauces, let's post up here and...

We have pic threads for our knives, our stones, our food, and our newest gear, but I don't think we have thread for posting up just general pics of our kitchen stuff for the sake of posting up pics of our kitchen stuff. So let's see how this goes. Spa Day

So I have a nice little local butcher shop I like. It's a satellite shop of their main store so a little more limited but still a decent selection. Every time I pop in I seem to grab an Angus ribeye. I look at the other cuts and the Wagyu but I always seem to just go with the my safe play...

Alright folks, as I mentioned a while back and in response to several inquiries, here's your chance to weigh in on how ARM will roll out each year. Some advocate for starting a new thread each year so it will be easier to look through them in the future. Some advocate for keeping it all...

I have the Munetoshi 210 and love it. The Gihei looks nice. I'm not a huge fan of stainless clad but not a deal killer by any means. I read some thoughts on the Gihei but mostly on the 240. Seems workhorsey but I don't know how folks generally describe Munetoshi. I'm guessing the Gihei is...

Hang on a minute... Just need to get this... Almost readyyyyyy...😁 Okay. Ready. It's been slow around here so let's kick some tires. 😁 Understand, this is not a knock on the tools or your preferences, but rather the mantras that so often accompany them. The title is what the...

Well, it's that time again. The time to make resolutions, predictions, hopes and wishes about what your next knife year might look like. This year I was pretty heavily focused on rectangles and I'm sure there will be more dabbling in 2024. But, I think I'll need to scratch the santoku itch...

I have this Nigara where spots of the bead blast on each side have been rubbed off. Since I don't have a blast cabinet, I'm wondering if and how I want to approach this. If it impacts your decision, I may be gifting or selling this knife. I had it for sale here briefly and before the rubs and...

Alright KKF, you folks always steer me right no matter how seemingly mundane the request so I'm back again. Tonight the wife said she wants an offset spatula or two. I know, I know, @Illyria makes the most badass versions around but a bit too steep right now. So glad his latest offerings are...

Okay, budget is $125 max. Target is two adults. What would you get? https://www.snakeriverfarms.com/?utm_medium=paid-search&utm_source=google

Thoughts? https://www.sharpeningsupplies.com/Pink-Double-Time-Flattening-Stone-P2243C111.aspx I have to admit the marketing teases my turnips but... My thoughts... Is it just gonna lose flatness too as the smaller ones are prone to doing? Even more abrasive mud to clean up?

We don't really have a dedicated thread for all the deals, discounts and sales we see out there and they sorta get sprinkled around the forum. So, here we go. Keep in mind, many of these are likely time sensitive or may get changed without notice. Post up what you find. :) @TokushuKnife...

Preach Brother Gage. Preach! :)

I know a lot of folks are big fans of tung oil and it is obviously well established. I've never really latched onto it I guess because I heard once it takes time to cure. I use mineral oil or mineral oil + bees wax on my handles and boards. There's no arguing it's pretty superficial and easily...

Maybe this belongs in the Handiwork subforum but I'm putting it here because the underlying sentiment applies to all of us I think. So I got this knife... I can't call myself the father of it. That would be the blacksmith who created it. But, I reckon my purchase and ownership qualifies me...

What is the stone you reach for the most when you need to do some heavy thinning?

I might just have well titled this thread, "Tell Me What I Already Know - I Shouldn't Try This." 😁 So let's start with I've never done anything quite like this before. I have predominantly hand tools. I've done a few wa handles but only the last couple really turned out. So symmetry, pins...

I've never seen this guy before so I have no knowledge of his history. Just a video that popped up in my feed.
