for playing with knives and fire.<\/p>\n
I have a button that says that. I do enjoy cooking and baking, but the toys can get awfully pricey. I don’t have really good knives, but I do have reasonable ones, and I do try to keep them sharp and take care of them – I own an assortment of sharpening stones from 200 to 6000 grit, as well as two or three books on sharpening and use of knives and other edged implements.<\/p>\n
I ran across a mention of Japanese Binchotan charcoal the other day and got curious, so I searched on the web. Most of the sites I found were merely descriptive, but I did find one that sold a few varieties<\/a> of it. It also sells a number of Japanese-made knives. I believe that this one one<\/a> is the most expensive knife they sell. Note that they charge 50% more for left-handed versions.<\/p>\n It’s a bit rich for my tastes. I can’t justify a $300 knife to myself, let alone something like that. I also don’t have need for such a specialized knife. That being said, I can dream, can’t I?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" for playing with knives and fire. I have a button that says that.
