I love that you have the knives in the pic. I don't put mine in pics usually, as my fav's aren't fancy. After using tons of chef's knife my favorite to use (and the one I grab most often) is a Victorinox Inox. I was so excited to get the Wustoff, then excited again to get the Global, but I just keep grabbing the Vic.

 

I will also admit my steak knife of choice is a Carbon Morakniv Companion. Been using it for nearly a decade now and it stays sharp as hell with just a few swipes across the strop before each use (I only use it for steak/food).

 

That is a nice set of Bradfords, though. Nice cook on the beef!

I've heard very good things about the Inox.  Great value and quality knife.  I also use my Global for a lot of tasks and find it to be a nice step up from the old set of Henckels that I started with.  The Bradfords are my favorite and I managed to get them at a decent price.  I have an older Svord carbon steel steak knife that was my go to knife prior to the Bradfords.  I have really been drawn in to the higher end knife world and have put together a nice collection of kitchen knives and folders.

Somebody knows what the hell they're doing.........

 

I see red wine with the squid and mushroom risotto.......I need to know what varietal, please.

I'm pretty sure that was a pinot noir.  Probably Josh or Bread And Butter.  It could have also been a red blend by Ghostrunner or Los Poetas.  a few of my favorite $10-20 wines.

As have I, but moreso with folders and boot knives.

 

Have a few nice kitchen knives, but since I usually stick with the Inox, I buy many more pocket knives. Inox surprised me honestly, I bought it for the kitchen (commercially), but I end up using it. I am not the master sharpener, but I can get the Inox crazy sharp, sharper than I have been able to get anything else. Coupled with the light weight and perfect knuckle clearance, I just love the thing. And it was only 40 bucks! Those Swiss got it figured out (I carry several Vic pocket multitools and knives as well).

 

Pocket-wise I'm a little more diverse but prefer American made so my current rotation is a big ZT Hinderer flipper, a Ken Onion Leek, and a Delica 4. Probably have over a hundred counting folders and custom fixed blades (as well as Tops, Ontario, ESEE, Buck, and Benchmade). 

 

It's a serious (and seriously expensive) addiction, but at least I always have a blade (or 5) handy!

There is nothing that compares to a thick tomahawk steak!  It is meat perfection!  Nicely done!  I haven't done it in a while, but every once in a while my butcher will have them in the display and I can't pass by without getting one.

I don't run into many people that are into folders, or knives in general, around here.  If I thought there would be more than two of us in the conversation, I would start a new topic about knives!  And you are 100% correct about the expensive part.  I just purchased a few Les Georges and a Hinderer folder to add to the collection recently and I have a couple nice Bradford fixed blades that I highly recommend.  If you haven't visited bladeforums.com, you should check it out.  The exchange forum has led to a lot of $ leaving my bank account.

Man I love me some chicken.

 

5 hrs over a wood fire. The motor is off of an old hay elevator that we welded onto a steel table back in the late 70s. Use it about twice a year and it just always works. Crazy piece of redneck engineering that doesnt quit.

Heard. Excellent work.

 

Try Bota Box Pinot. It's $5 per bottle.

Bladeforums.com is the single biggest enabler of my blade addiction....

 

And the only other forum I regular. The absolute best place for knife talk with other knife knuts.

 

I even had a problem with my Delica, and Sal Glesser (Spyderco founder) solved it for me personally thanks to bladeforums. Awesome.

Unless you are a Chef I don’t get the need to take a pic of your dinner.  

Did you click on this thread just to say that?  It probably would have been easier to simply avoid a thread about food pictures than to stop in and tell everyone that you aren't into food pictures...

You may want to stay off Instagram and Pinterest.  Oh, and stay off food gwaker, taste spotting, foodista, tasteologie, and... I'll stop now, but let's just say food pr0n is very popular. :)

I clicked on the link for the post above the one you quoted.  

 

I hope I didn't hurt your feelings by saying I don’t get it

I don’t ever go to any of those places.

 

Oh, I get it but I don’t get it.
