Y'all got any cool knives?
>>20980561I've had the same chef knife for 20 years. It's an old victoriox from the mid 90's I believe. Nothing fancy but I like it. Your knives look uncomfortable.
>>20980568Good for you
My first year of college i didn't bring any silverware or cooking utensils with me but I did bring my samurai sword. I used it to for everything from cutting meats to dicing veggies. I wouldn't recommend it though
>>20980561Just Dexter brand knives because they are based in my home state.
My chef knives. I have lots of cool knives, but mostly folders.
>>20980598they’re cringe in mine
>>20980597kek I hope it wasn’t a real jap one
>>20980590wow, need that
I want to get a nice one, but the market is fucking awful. On one side it’s mystery meat damascus shit, on the other it’s redditors going on about the gayest minutiae of steel types. It’s not like they take any stress. So I’ll be content with my Chef Emeril knife until there’s an undisputed best knife, priced according to material cost, so like $30.
>>20980883I've always wondered how you're meant to sharpen a serrated knife.
>>20980918You use a circular sharpening rod and sharpen each serration, in other words you repeat the process which they used to initially cut the serrated pattern in when they made the knife.Probably takes a long time
This knife wanking ha gone too far
Aww gee shucks I'm not sure
this is my go-to. I use it for almost everything.3 years in, it's getting pretty rough. bought a cheap-o to see if it worked for me. I am casually shopping for an upgrade. open to reccomendations.
>>20982473the fuck? is that one of those andorian fighting knives from enterprise?
I might as well ask here, what is a good, easy way to sharpen a knife? I sharpen my knives with whetstones and that's all good but my 66 year old dad still uses those pull-trough sharpeners and they're just horrible. All knives in his kitchen are dull as shit. I've tried to get him on whetstones but it's just not going to happen, he can't be bothered. So i need an easy, foolproof way to actually make the knives sharp
>>20982536if you can spend a bit of money on it then look at the electric options, i can't remember so i can't give specifics but iirc i've seen options that give good results (relative to the effort, still not as good as whetstones of course). probably have to weed through the glorified pull through options to find whatever i'm thinking of so ignore those of course
>>20981865gay knives
>>20982536you're just an autist, the knives are perfectly sharp and your father loathes your presence
>>20982586not just the father, trust me
>>20982586 The knives are dull as shit, he complains about it all the time
>>20980561knives are tools, not showpieces.
>>20980561No
>>20982648And what about cars? Clothes? Computers you use to shitpost on?
>>20982664yes
>>20982666Well you're wrong, even other species of the animal kingdom use physical objects as purely decoration, I'm sorry you can't appreciate art.
>>20982673take your art and shove it up your ass
>>20982666>this image literally makes him shit and piss himself in blind rageHow DARE people create art?
>>20982648Two things can be true at the same time, smoothbrain pleb
>>20982673You are a fucking loser it's unreal.
>>20982676Go permanently ban yourself from viewing any painting, sculpture, listening to any music is no longer permissable either, lets just remove your sense of taste, touch, why even bother to feel anything.
>>20982682>Knife thread on a cooking boardWhats the problem exactly?
>>20982702You, retard
>>20981865What culinary use does a kukri have?
>>20982731You don't even know who I am so how could you be mad at me?
>>20982770Not him but I could see it being handy to break down big squashes
>>20982481it's a boomerang, the Australian's only natural defense
>>20980883Who needs this many bread knives?
having 'cool', 'fancy', or 'artisanal' knives is homosexual behavior. case in point, renowned butt plunderer max miller
>>20984777he has a ring on, is he married to a gay man?
>>20984782yes...? what kind of gay ass question is that? he lives in california, he could marry a dog if he wanted to.
>>20984782No, he's married to a straight man
>>20984785>>20984787Well, being married to a woman doesn't stop a lot of homos, so I think it's a fair question.
>>20984777Breathing is also something gays do, maybe you should stop doing that.Or else you're gay
>>20980883But y tho
>>20984958I actually am gay though, that’s why I know about the homosexual knives
>>20982536The bottom of ceramic mugs makes for a great surface for sharpening. of course the motion has to be correct but tell ur old man he should know that by now. if you make the bevel too shallow on purpose its much more forgiving and creates a natural serration when the metal gets too thin. hope that helps, dull knives are a pain in the ass
>>20984777Fellas, is it gay to enjoy things?
>>20982536i don't understand. pull-through sharpeners make a knife plenty sharp, they just kind of fuck up the blade in the longer term and don't stay nice and sharp. but there's no reason that a knife recently gone through one shouldn't be plenty sharp.
>>20985353>bottom of ceramic mugThis dude fucks
>>20980561This one makes heads spin at the Chinese restaurant, I smirk and am like "yep, heh"
>>20984777I agree, it's like with audiophiles. These guys don't even like music, they just like buying equipment. Same for people who give a shit how "cool" their cookware is, they don't care about cooking, they just want to consoome.
>>20982536I bought a $2 pull through sharpener and it makes my shitty knives sharp enough to do that retarded "trick" where you cut a thin tomato slice without holding the tomato. Maybe your dad just doesn't do enough pulls. Or you're a retarded snob gear queer faggot who is full of shit. I'm kind of leaning towards the latter but i will give you the benefit of the doubt.>b-but it destroys the blade!Cry about it, knives are tools and they're disposable. My shitty knife sharpened with a shitty sharpener is still fine after many years, as I said before.
