I’ve been a fan of Achewood for a while, but this new book just looks amazing. It’s the Great Outdoor Fight in book form, with a new original story plus history, bios, a hall of champions, glossary, recipes(?!) and a deleted scene.
I love this knife. A long time ago in an apartment far away, I had a Wüsthof 10″ chef’s knife that I loved dearly, but one day an incident involving a toaster vaporized a small hole through the blade. I’d loved that knife dearly, picking it up during a knife skills course at ICE, but I figured I’d check out the offerings before getting another. After playing with the knives at a local knife store, I settled on the Shun instead.
Why? I just like it better. The D-shaped handle fits my hand nicely, it doesn’t have the heavy bolster of the Wüsthof and I liked the blade shape a bit more. It’s also significantly sharper out of the box and seems to hold an edge better. And it’s oh so pretty, which doesn’t hurt.
If you’re looking for a new chef’s knife, definitely check it out (along with all the others). Knives are highly personal and it’s worth paying a visit to someone with stock to see what’s available.
From last night’s bath. Fun with hair is always fun.
A very nice graphic overlaying crew member deaths, Captain Kirk’s affairs, and fights in all the episodes of the original Star Trek series. One thing to keep in mind, the x-axis labels are elided to save space; each column does represent one episode, even though each column is not labeled.
We’re thinking about getting a Nature Mill. Anyone have one and have some feedback on it?
