How the frick do you have your staff trained to only work from one jug at a time
The trick was to just show the Internet 1 opened one. There's -at least- 1 other opened and I used an open one...

Had a nice surprise on Sunday when my hot water heater decided it was done. I noticed a little bit of water on the floor under it on Saturday. I just happened to be in the mechanical room on Sunday when...BOOM...catastrophic failure. 75 gallons of hot water started emptying on the floor at about a liter a minute. Incredible luck I was in the room when it happened, the water never got more than a few feet from the tank.
Now I'm the proud owner of a fancy new tankless water heater. Unexpected $5,000 hit will certainly help me stick to my abstinence from knife buying for a good bit though.

What did the plumber say after he was done?
“It’s a tankless job, but someone’s gotta do it.”

Speaking of plumbing I put this thing in during renovation and it has already proven its value by sensing a toilet running that might have gone a week or more without anyone noticing.

I'll make you a sponsor offer you can't refuse...
But where's the failsafe device to protect against a failing protection valve?
This smells like another deep rabbit hole...

That full polished @Illyria and @ethompson knife using reclaimed kannas is insane.
Also, I’m taking applications for a late night polishing buddy.

Despite their marketing slogan, Dukes is actually more creamy and less tangy than Helmans. It's preferred if you're baking with it or doing something where you want creaminess without that "mayonnaise" flavor.
I've done some side by sides and Blue Plate is definitely my favorite. Based out of Louisiana and may not be available nationwide but 100% worth a grab if you find it. It's got some nice tang but not too much to kill its versatility. Sponsor of New Orleans Poboy Festival for a damn fine reason, and has the best logo.
Eh-hem.

And thus you can sharpen tungsten carbide on silicon carbide stones . . .

And also thus if you have a block of tungsten carbide and rub silicon carbide on it it will abrade and not maintain “perfect” flatness “permanently”

Flitz vs BKF? Same thing? Different uses?
I want to remove patina without worrying about scratches and I feel like my BKF powder isn’t the best for it.
If flitz is the way to go, which product do you use?

BKF is Oxalic acid, helps getting rid of Patina. Careful with KU finishes. Also if you let it sit on the blade too long it gets quite reactive.
Flitz is a polishing paste. Will polish the blade slightly but for stubborn patina often times works better, no deep scratches or so. Not the best for Kasumi Finishes. If you did let BKF sit on the blade and try to get rid of the aftermath definitely helps.

Flitz is good. Simichrome is also good. I would say Simichrome is faster, but it leaves a coating on the metal and slightly inhibits the next patina build up.

So BKF then flitz? Both with a soft sponge?

I've been using this with good luck to gently remove patina. I put a dab on a fingertip of nitrile glove for easy stuff, or use wine cork to get scrubby if it's a rust spot that leaves a deeper oxidation/patina/discoloration stain underneath.
