I don’t pop my head in here much, but Mario, Salty, and I hung out in Wisconsin today. It was fun.

Tonight I hung out with a knife forum member. It was good. I asked about a sheep's foot parer from Marko and he showed me his latest Mario honyaki he bought second hand. In January I met up with Mario twice, once in Chicago and another time in Milwaukee. It was really fun and so good to see...

I go to Washington DC way too much these days. I have time today (and maybe tomorrow) to have a drink with some knife knuts if anyone wants to chat for a while. PM me if you are interested. I will be at a bar from 4-7:30 tonight before going to Breakin' Even Fest. k.

I have not been on the forums in a while. I have kids, depression, knives, a wife, did I mention kids? Anyhow, I feel that in the upper Midwest we have some amazing knife resources. Salty, Mario, Chuckles, CustomFan, Heldentenor, moi-self Mr. Drinky, Justin 0505, and some others that I will...

I'm just curious. Many members have come and gone, some post and some don't, and some are new and old. We've all shared our time and interaction in some capacity. But everyone has a 'knife forum' moment, memory, or something special that they have learned -- or something that has changed...

just say whatever you want...

I am guessing that some of us have dined at Sebastian's before. This is Salty's restaurant in Racine, WI. Anyhow, a drunk driver drove into it on Friday night. Story

If my eyes don't deceive me, it has 40 next to your name. A nice round number. I hope you have a good day of drink, food, and family. k.

My wife is going to New Orleans in early May and wondered if the sharp, shiny, tasteful people of this forum had any restaurant recommendations. She is up for anything really. k.

I know that most people got theirs eventually, but I know that some were not finished because I never got mine. Sorry to dig up this sordid affair again, but it is for a good cause. I decided to gift mine to a local chef, and recently I went to her restaurant, I remembered that I never followed...

Most everyone is influenced by music. It tells a lot about a person -- yet it might not tell that much when all things are considered. But when one volunteers their most influential bands or music in their life, it's interesting -- at least to me. They are offering a very crude polaroid of a...

So today I got in 4 lbs of my own custom burger meat blend. The combo I chose was prime skirt steak, wagyu chuck, dry-aged steak ends, and a wagyu fat blend. Basically, you choose four ingredients and they blend a pound of each together for your own burger blend. These are the meats/fats you can...

First off, I am not going to NYC, but my wife is. She asked me what restaurants I would recommend, and outside of the big names (i.e., Momofuku, La Bernardin, Per Se etc.) I don't know crap about NYC dining. And it is a bit overwhelming for me to consider. Any suggestions would be nice. No...

This has probably been posted here, but it was the first time I had seen it. Man, these guys are idiots. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RvRyOnWhLv0 k.

I'm a big fan of NPR's Story Corps, the Moth, and This American Life, and I believe that everyone has something interesting and relevant to say through story telling. Go ahead, make this interesting… k.

So, I haven't really watched David Letterman for quite some time, but I absolutely love Letterman -- and always will. I watched his show from the mid-80s until about the mid-90s and periods thereafter. But I just happened upon some prime-time show tonight highlighting some of his work over that...

I'm not sure where this thread will go. I love eggs -- as do most people I guess, but I am going to post some of my egg prep, loves, recipes, and experiments here. And feel free to do the same if you wish. I got this idea yesterday when I read about curing egg yolks in salt and sugar, and...

Today I switched over to a Netgear Nighthawk X6 tri-band wireless router and I just about crapped my pants how much faster my wi-fi is. I am mostly wireless in the house and since we cut cable, we stream most of our TV through Hulu, Netflix, Amazon, Sling TV, Tivo, and Vudu, so wireless speed is...

So many big names moving all over: Revis, Unger, Graham, Bradford, Foles, Gore, Murray, McCoy, Suh…and others and Adrian Peterson will be next in all likelihood. Also Harvin and Evan Mathis. Then the surprise retirements: Jason Worilds, Jake Locker, Patrick Willis It's been interesting...
