Knifin' around: a thread about kitchen knives

“big order of pork belly”

[Jorge]

What? I get about 3 kilos of pork belly from my butcher every month.

[spike]

What does homeless drug addict taste like?

[Jorge]

I don't like this

[spike]

Because I’m getting closer and closer to the TRUTH!

[Jorge]

Do you think this would be a good wedding gift for my brother? https://dalstrong.com/collections/block ... -block-set

They do have a registry and this isn't in it, but I happen to know that they love cooking and only have one kinda crappy chef's knife

These knives are legit. I have two of the ones included in this set and really love them

No

[Jorge]

He says I shouldn't get them anything because I'm already traveling the farthest + I'm officiating at the ceremony but I really wanna give them the knife set

[Anders]

Has a masculine look to them, so I would vote no, if it’s not on their list.

[Jorge]

Hmm

[Jorge]

But they are made of 67-layered Damascus with a AUS-10V Japanese super steel core.

[Jorge]

Maybe I just want them for myself

[wease]

If it’s not on the list, no.

[Ello Sailor]

Fuck the list. They probably just don't know how dope 67-layered Damascus with a AUS-10V Japanese super steel core knives are. If they knew, they'd be on the list for sure.

those are ugly knives..do what you want

[E.H. Ruddock]

If you get them this and they look at you funny, just tell them you got advice from the Knifin' around thread. That'll set them straight.

Probably my favorite thread title in F&D

[tragabigzanda]

from the ashes of tonkotsu

[E.H. Ruddock]

then I'd judge them every time I visited and saw their gradually declining set of knives.

Get the fuck out of here

It's a solid point but I definitely think my brother would take good care of them. He was a line cook for years and developed a love for cooking, and I think he'll really like them. He's also a scientist. This is an unrelated fact but I just wanted to mention it
