On vacation so didn't bring my knives

Don't know how it slipped my mind. I did not realize how unpleasant it is to use dull and or silly knives. Staying at a vacation rental not thinking I'd want to slice an apple or some cheese etc. The place came with a drawer full of some cheap stainless knives that are comically dull. It is like they ran the edge over a grinding wheel at 90 degrees. Even with my old Gerbers, I kept them sharp, so it is really striking how bad these Ginzu-esq things are. Just a rant.

 

Haha.. sounds like most houses in the world. We are spoiled though aren't we.

 

My knives are so dull cutting cheese feels like I'm using a bamboo skewer.

You should go rent a acetylene torch. Anything worth doing is worth overdoing.

 

On a remote island , got my gesshin uraku with me , I never go on to vacation without a knife anymore

 

did the same thing but shocking the knives that were there were "sharp" not like i am used to but they cut ok (i got lucky )

 

This is like a Corona commercial.

 

I bring my Harner mini gyuto literally every time I travel.

 

Never again!! I guess I need a saya.

 

Hahah another rabbit hole discovered.

 

That pineapple has met its match!
At least I have my EDC Benchmade with me. pretty sad when 8 or ten kitchen knives stay in the drawer and my pocket knife is the knife of choice.

 

I was roughing it on my vacation and was only allowed to bring 2 knives...

 

o_O:Man, Jason, how can you have dull knives after hangin with this group?

 

I never use them!

 

:BF

 

I had to look up "vacation", I wasn't sure what you all were talking about.

 

I brought a 1/6 combo stone with me on vacation. I sharpened knives in 4 different cabins. They were like using butter knives.

 

Mike
wish you had been in my cabin in Door County before my arrival.

Home again. A pleasure to pull a knife from the block and have it do what it is supposed to do.

 

I picked up this little thing at a flea market for fifty cents. Had to do massive thinning behind the edge and then put an edge on it. It stays in my suitcase for emergencies.

 

I picked a couple of them up at Korin a few years ago for 5 bucks each. Its soft as hell but it does come in handy when someone wants to "help" in the kitchen.

I think it was listed as a Picnic knife.

 

I think this will become my new motto.
