Best knife I have. Razor sharp and feels good
I have the MTH-80 Mighty Chef Knife with Dimples. It came extremely sharp out of the box and stays that way. I have only honed it lightly a few times with a borosilicate glass steel after smacking the cutting block with my poor style. This thing rocks. With my Chicago Cutlery knives the same... -
Outstanding knives without the name brand price
My wife and I have been using Henkels knives for some time, but were looking to switch to Japanese steel knives for the superior hardness and sharpness of the blades. We were very drawn to Kershaw Shun for both the beautiful look (who doesn't like Damascus steel?) and strong reputation and...

California Author Series: The stories of early Chinese arrivals took root in ...
In 1971 my family moved to the Monterey Bay region. We were drawn to the mist-swaddled crags at Point Lobos, which whispered of our ancestral homeland. Yet we felt ourselves alien people, one of the first Chinese to have found a nesting place.
When we attended the annual Feast of Lanterns Festival in Pacific Grove, I did not imagine that 65 years ago squid boats lit at night were used to attract the mollusks, a harvest no one desired until the Chinese created a market for them. After 1906, the year someone set fire to the Point Alones Chinatown, where the Monterey Bay Aquarium now stands, Pacific Grove residents grew nostalgic for the lights, like fairy lanterns on the water, and so a magic tale was born to glimmer.
In my teens, I moved away from Chinese culture and history being Chinese in no way helped me fit in outside the home. It was on my return from the Tiananmen Square massacre in 1989 that I began to understand the importance of stories. I was 29. Stories, when burned, glow more brightly. On my homecoming, I was given a copy of "Chinese Gold," written by a man of passion, professor Sandy Lydon, and published by a man of philanthropy, George Ow Jr., from which I learned about the Chinese of Salinas.
Shopper's Diary: Town Cutler in San Francisco : Remodelista
After working for a decade as a chef in San Francisco, Galen Garretson shifted his focus to knives, sharpeners, and accessories with the opening of Town Cutler , his culinary knife shop. "The guys I worked with had expensive $300 knives, but they would always be dull," says Garretson. "Even my own knives were dull." In his narrow storefront in Nob Hill, Garretson spends about half his time carefully sharpening knives with a Japanese whetstone and a leather razor strop, and the other half of his time advising customers on selecting the proper knife. He is the exclusive dealer in the city for Zanmai, the au courant Japanese brand, and also carries knives by Kikuichi, Masamoto, and others. Go to Town Cutler for more information.

1. Picnic knife, Turkey
My silent paid for this a in a Turkish hardware emporium since you were going to have a picnic. It is so simple and has no place amid my veteran tools, nonetheless I admire it since when I grip it, it takes me back to that lunch in the greatest hunger reforest I had ever seen.
2. Artisan knives, New York
The guy accountable for these beauties is a blacksmith (and ex-farrier), with a pertinently having grey hair brave for a bloke whose most appropriate buddy is an anvil. Michael Moses Lishinsky operates beneath the name Wildfire Cutlery (he obviously functions out of Oregon). His knives are full tang, that means the steel from the knife edge extends all the way by to the heel, creation them stronger. These are done of heat-treated CO steel, as against to immaculate steel, so you have to dehydrated them after use (I oil cave too), but they stay crook longer.
