Vain, But Lacking Talent
Woah, woah, woah, woah, hold on a minute. I was perfectly happy to read the back and forth on high end knives. Knives are cool. It's a thing. It can be an obsession/addiction of sorts. But you're telling me there are shops with produce just waiting for customers to hack into to test the knives? That seems a bit much.

That's always the problem with hobbies. They're either expensive, or you suck at it, or both. So while I always say I don't need another expensive hobby, I should probably add that I don't need another thing to suck at.

So I should have bought tires, but I went to the shop I used to work at to look at some and ended up buying bib shorts. I guess I'll just be really comfortable until my next flat.

Mind you, I get mine online, so I haven't done it. But W-S and SLT absolutely let you cut up some veggies in the store if you're looking to buy.

By the way @WhyFi I made a special trip to Aldi yesterday per your recommendation and THEY DIDN'T HAVE ANY. I'm holding you personally responsible. I freaking love those things. Got some other holiday goodies, but was much disappoint.

On that note, I was chatting with the wife and I was like, "I should just go back and get a flat."
"Yeah, you should."
"Yeah, I figure they'd make good stocking stuffers and whatnot..."
"What?" she says, "You're going to share give them away? No way - keep them for us."

I imagine thinly sliced veggies and some nicely cooked meat paired with some nice garnished mash tatoes and maybe a glass of dece wine. Emphasis just on the sliced veggies cuz all the knife talk etc.
Like there's a big portion of the meal's greatness resting on the plating and or style that veggies are chopped out.
Embellish for me like a Bret Easton Ellis novel please

I guess that means my little santoku henkels is a "laser" width, then? It doesn't bind all the way through the large apples I cut up every morning. Not surprisingly my little cheap knife doesn't have that spec listed anywhere...
