I title this picture, Steak's Afoot
Also, really pretty knife. May I inquire as to the company/maker?
I just made asparagus and fried chicken thighs, come on down, if you don't mind stinky pee!

I am about to head out now that the storm passed and we are up to 50* . Dying to see if my oxygen boost works. Maybe dying isn’t the correct terminology.

I've got one nice knife. A genuine industrial kitchen chef's knife that my mother saved from the last kitchen she managed. She gave it to me on my wedding day. It's about as plain steel boring as it gets, but it holds an edge just short of forever and could cut through concrete and then slice a tomato.

Holding an edge is pretty important lol
These are fairly new so I hope they work out.
They do when they're treated as badly as these old brittle things. A few are missing tips, most have gouged edges, it's a sentimental loss, but a massive gain in function if I get a new set. I might could save the cleaver out of the set

When I was a kid in DC there was a guy that drove around the city in a step van that would sharpen knives while you waited. He had a bell he'd ring as he drove through the neighborhood like the ice cream man and people would run out to the truck to get stuff sharpened. I miss old craftsmen like that. People that did just one thing, and did it better than everyone else. Walmart and Amazon were the death of trades like his. Too many people would rather buy cheap stuff from overseas instead of buying lasting value. Now you kids get off my damn lawn

It worked very well.
Now I can actually train and build endurance. At high elevations these should go into my first aid kit. The dude at the hiking store saved a women gasping for air who came into his store unable to breathe. Can you imagine that: she can’t breath and goes into an outdoor clothing and gear store gasping for breaths and he saves her with the oxygen boosts he sells at the counter. Lol. Cheaper than a hospital visit.

So true. But there hope because people like @420God and @Areoknow to name a couple brilliant craftsmen are still thriving .When I was a kid in DC there was a guy that drove around the city in a step van that would sharpen knives while you waited.
