FaceBook put this Kickstarter in front of me this morning- From past experience, my first thought on virtually ANYTHING promoted on FakeBawk is "scam". Curious about this idea regardless. Anyone know of this? Thoughts???

My first thought, God, that's ugly. Second thought: Looks uncomfortable and heavy? Then, I saw it was offered at the bargain price of only USA $1,950.00. After that, I laughed so hard my dog became quite concerned. Then, I realized that at least this dude IS making knives, what have I done...

Looks like someone in Japan was riffing off of the early Gerber knives? Marked with western script, anyone know who the maker was?

Thank you all for your input and guidance. I can do a LOT of things now I had no clue about before I started hanging out here and asking questions-

The old Monty Python sketch might be involved?

(Edit) Duh! Finally noticed & read the preparer's T-shirt: https://www.osteriapastella.it/ ---------- I randomly came across this video of a table side preparation of pasta/melted cheese/some flambe alcohol RIGHT ON TOP OF THE CHEESE WHEEL. No attribution or location were included, AFAICT. It...

I'm looking at trying a couple of projects that call for grinding/cracking several types of grains. Wondering about buying some new equipment and which tool(s) makes the most sense? 1: Grinding for meal and/or flour. I've grown a good bit of heirloom variety flour corn, interested in grinding...

(Edit) Bloody hell. Should have searched FIRST. https://www.kitchenknifeforums.com/threads/german-style-curry-sauce-for-curry-wurst.64449/ (End edit) ------------------ I am intrigued. Can anyone give an approximate recipe for this? I'd never even heard of it (or the very idea "curry...

One of my employees just got 800+ lb. of beef from a steer, his wife had earlier asked their butcher to pack up the bones and include them for their dog- Then their dog died before they delivered the meat (and about 100 lb. of fresh/frozen beef bones!). He gave me two cases, at least 50 lb. of...

I've been making this stuff for 4? years now, since my sour pie cherry trees (morellos to the British descended) got large enough to give a decent quantity of fruit. My sister turned me onto this type of decoction- I've modified the procedure and ratios a few times over the several batches...

I ran across a version of this recipe 60 years ago as an 11 or 12 year old child, read it with horrified fascination and FORGOT about it untill today. In one of the Herter's of Waseca MN cookbooks, as I recall- "The Bull Cook"? https://www.cbc.ca/amp/1.5314000 Ingredients: 1 Moose nose (I...

I have a ton of black locust growing on our property and intend to remove some for reforestation with white oak species (white oaks are native and better for wildlife food, the black locust is an invasive species here which few animals can eat). Black locust is a nasty, thorny shrub as a...

An effective sharpening session. Tonight I sharpened 5 rather different knives. Several different alloys, knives included both monosteel and clad blades. Symetrical edges and single bevels. Hitachi white steel #2. S35VN PM steel. 8Cr13MoV. A proprietary "semi stainless" alloy. See picture- I...

Interested in trying to compound my own 5 spice mixture. I've got a basic list of ingredients, most of which are already in my kitchen: Star anise Cloves Chinese cinnamon Sichuan (Szechuan) peppercorns Fennel seed I've got Ceylon cinnamon on hand, rather than Chinese. Don't yet have...

The winter squash ("pumpkins" to you in Oz & some other places) are finishing up. These two varieties are quite sweet with fairly dry flesh (Uncle Dave's Dakota Dessert Squash, Ukranian squash). I've liked oven roasting the Uncle Dave's squash tossed with a bit of olive oil, shallots, garlic...

This is the first time I've grown eggplant. I got a variety bundle from North Circle seeds this Spring, 4 kinds of eggplant from Japan (purple, long), Africa (white), India (white with purple stripes) and "zebra", (Africa again) also striped. They're just getting some size to a few fruits...
