Yet another thing I didnāt know about but now need.
Yeh, me too until one popped up in the hipster shop on Redchurch Street, so I just had to go down that rabbit hole.
Nice, strangely we been looking for some vintage silver butter knives, to go with the tost racks
You seem to spend an inordinate amount of time doing hipster stuff ā¦
A charity I worked at were donated a fair amount of very nice silver tableware. A volunteer was having a lot of fun looking up the hallmarks etc,( good training) she said āthis toast rack has some marks but it is plate Iām afraid which is such a shame as all the other stuff is solid silverā
I told her that the toast rack would probably make more than all the silver put together.
She didnāt believe me but then she had never heard of Christopher Dresser.
This fucking thingā¦
Best kitchen gadget I have ever purchased. Itās put great edges on every knife I own, including the wavy-edged bread knife, and the edges last well. Even twatty things like overripe tomatoes, aubergine etc. donāt take it off.
When I need more of a burr, for a more serrated edge, the coarser wheels leave the edge sharp but faintly serrated - perfect for tougher materials, and much better in this respect than the steel I have.
Run it for any length of time and it emits a faint whiff of gear oil and warm metal, like a tiny lathe - does it get any better?
If you like faff, however, this is very much not for you!
Can you use Castrol R?
this is not what I want to hearā¦
I have rather been enjoying using the whetstones recommended in this thread a few months ago. I find the process quite meditative and can zone out completely while sharpening.
Iāve got a similar implement. One blade sorts out serious crap, second prepares blade if you have been careless, third for every day use - 3 swipes and you are there.
Mine is much simpler but Iām gonna be looking at this.
Looked. Fuck that is more that many crap cables.
Reading the blurb it specifically refers to sharpening European and US knives.
Are Japanese knives angles not ok fo this?
Keep me posted.
Where did you get it Paul? It doesnāt seem to be available in the UK from the usual suspects
Your next adventure in retail perhaps ?
I hate them, they have been relegated to the back of the cupboard and I am back on the minosharp water sharpener.
I guess some people just canāt cut itā¦
Just remind yourself that if I like a thing, it is usually best avoidedā¦
10 degrees vs 15 for US and EU iirc; they do one for Japanese blades.
Or just accept that it makes not the slightest bit of difference except to peopleās OCD.
Good people to deal with, too. Or buy one a bit more cheaply from the states and add a step-down for extra ballache - should be a familiar process for many on here.
Iām not allowed near Money any more - money go 'way, and this make Gaga saaad
Also āoffā is the general direction in which you should Fuck
ALL knives sound the same.
Can anyone rec a cheap all in one knife
