Pictures of your new acquisitions

I love the handle. Very nice knife!

Dare I ask what exactly is "the man flu" ?

 

Being very dramatic...eg not going to work, acting unable to do normal things...with just a cold, when you should be able to all of the above. IE, thinking or acting like you have the flu, a legitimate reason to stay home, when you only have a cold, a not legitimate reason to stay home.

 

laugh out loud

I call that Workers Flu. As in I'm sick of work.

 

Eye trouble. Can't see going to work.

 

Sounds like you guys have nailed 'man flu', although it must be a more potent strain that men get as when my wife gets flu she carries on as normal, nothing to do with her being tougher than me of course

 

My wife has no sympathy when I get "man flu". Tells me I'll live and to get my ass to work.

 

Some ancient stuff arrived few days ago. 135mm Zakuri knife can give you some idea about the real size of those teeth.

 

Teeth! Wicked cool!

 

My, what big teeth you have...

 

Those are too cool Anton. Can't wait to see how you use it.

 

Those are pretty cheap here so I bought 3kg with the plan to export it to a friend in Australia. Too bad I hadn't checked our custom rules beforehand, as exporting ancient stuff requires special permissions. So it looks like those teeth will stay with me for some time. At the moment, the only actual use I have found for them is to entertain my friends/guests. I show them the bigger teeth and told that it's a liver of smoker. Their faces are priceless during those moments.
But I hope to find someone with a heavy duty stone cutting machine who could slice those beasts and put them into some use.

That's was quick, Huw. You only ordered it last week, no?

Looks like a sweet robust knife.

 

Great teeth, Anton. I have a few Smaller pieces and plan on sacrificing a couple of saw blades for them unless I find a stone person locally.

BRO! Too cool!

 

265mm Gyuto from Cris Anderson
A few pics for now, got to give it a good try out along with the Haburn I got

 

Wow, that Cris Anderson is gorgeous! Glad you bought it--I spent too much time looking at it!

 

I was waiting for someone to buy it as well but it just kept calling to me and I gave in
It looks even better in person, looks like storm clouds rolling along it!

 

A lucky dog you are Warren.

 

Looking good!
