[Closed] Just upped my STWness another notch

Its all fun and games till the Mrs puts it in the dishwasher.

Very nice.

tomatoes are not in season now so you are not true Singletrack. Jerusalem artichokes and forced rhubard, go right ahead .

looks lovely by the way!

Next thread:

I've amputated my finger, should I go to the doctor?

If you happen to cut the end off your left thumb then it REALLY hurts, it will grow back a funny shape and it'll have a numb spot on the end for the rest of your life.

Just sayin'. 😳

Nice. I prefer to see a bit more hamon on the blade, but I love the finish of it.

Make sure you wash it after tomotoes though, they can etch the blade.

anyone else wanna see a picture of panther's thumb?

THAT'S NOT MY THUMB! 😯

Nice!

just glad the OP isnt WCA ....

you cut off someone else's thumb Panther?

I got a nice Japanese whetstone a while back and used it to sharpen up our existing Victorinox knife properly for the first time ever.

My wife cut a chunk of skin off the tip of her thumb a few days later... this knife is considerably sharper 🙂

Can we see a shopping channel type picture of you cutting through something inappropiate like a drinks can or some plywood just to prove its sharpness?

It has to be cutting through an old mobile phone.

Will it blend?

Jesus wept, what sort of thing do you need to cut up that demands the use of a £200 sharper than a sharp thing knife?

OP mentioned tomatoes.

I can confirm that kind of knife (ie sharp ones) is pretty good at slicing through fingers.
My wife had to take over cooking lunch on Boxing day while I sorted out a cut on the back of my finger from one of my Tsuki knives.

"Cuts through fingers like butter" - thanks Dad - much appreciated.

It was much less than £200. It'll last ages and give me just a little bit of joy each time I use it. I like using nice tools. Some folk will never really get this I guess.

Oh, and tomatoes 🙂

My wife cuts herself almsot every time I sharpen the kitchen knives 🙄

Tip of mine ended up in a chicken curry once.

Grew back fine though. Never did find the bit of thumb.

We have a rack full of knives for the Mrs, she doesn't [i]use[/i] them, just somehow ruin them.

And hidden away, wrapped in a teatowel in a high cupboard, is my ancient sabatier with the tip broken off which is [i]my[/i] knife. Full complement of fingers but its early days.

Hmm must sharpen the knives.

I cut the tip of my finger off with an electric hedge trimmer whe I was about 10

Perchy, that [i]looks[/i] like a thumb - sizewise anyway

A pinkie, more like 😳

I spent thirty quid on a straight razor to be a cool shaving geek with and it wouldn't cut the skin off a rice pudding. Think I gotta invest in some sharpening tech, too. 🙁
