Thanks for the feedback. Much appreciated.

How do they compare to a Sebenza or Shirogorov? I’ve got a small sebenza, and have been debating whether to jump deeper into the folder rabbit hole. The DUK and a shirogorov are both high on my list if I decide to jump, so curious to hear your thoughts. Also considering a large Inkosi, which I...

Rader and Haburn are my favorites. Lisch also does beautiful damascus with very nice integral bolster, but i prefer the other two from a performance perspective. Halcyon Forge also offers integrals on occasion, which are very well done. I went on a bit of a western integral kick last year.

My thoughts exactly

Count me in for one in M2. Anything between 225 and 250 length is good; 55-57 heel height. Love the redgum and mokume, but also game for ringed gidgee and simple brass or other ferrule if getting everyone on the same handle construction will streamline production process. Let me know what you...

I use a Mac tall paring knife with my 7 year old and a Misono child’s knife with the younger ones. Overall, the Mac is a much better knife, but still too sharp for little ones who are working on hand-eye coordination.

Thanks for sharing. I’ve seen a few from him pop up this year and have been curious about them, since they rarely come up for sale.

That’s quite the spread. You’ve captured a lot of unicorns in the past three months. Would love to hear your thoughts on the Billipp.

More importantly, whose digit?

Haven’t used the copper core Falk, but their classic line cooks beautifully. Super even heat and relatively responsive. Downside is that they are monster heavy and unbalanced compared to all clad and similar stainless clad pans. For any pans you plan to toss and shake a lot, they’re probably not...

But it’s got such a great workhorse grind!! Really powers through dense, fibrous items, but does have some minor cracking on carrots . . . Maybe I can find something more suitable for next year . . . Like a @martinhuber vegetable cleaver.

Does this qualify for ARM?

Wowzers. That is beautiful.

Seems like this may be an error on SLT website. I tried to buy, but couldn’t add to cart. Specs in the drop down menu also seem to be for a butter warmer, rather than sauce pan. If you can get it to work, it’s a great deal. Also looks like Falk is having a 20% off sale on lots of...

Very nice! I was tempted by that DT, but already have one with a cocobolo handle. That handle made me think two might not be such a bad thing. Love the Lisch too. His bolsters are super comfortable.
