I know a great story about a minister here that made an off hand remark about chinese restaurants on his first working day

- extremely light because of the materials used, but quality
- long ass blade in a not so big body
- VG-10 steel: lasts sharp very long, takes a little longer to resharpen but worth it

hot pot is not bad

Not bad but not worth paying for.

Two weeks later 100 raids happened nationwide and millions in fraudulent money were seized

@Turbo was it a stray pet joke?

Not even

Whittling wood, cutting twine, usual box opening, forbidden things like prying, @porco

it depends, in Taiwan there are all-you-can-eat hotpots with beer flat rate included which are just super comfy to spend half evening in, talk and eat slow

it's not exclusively about the food

It was something along the lines of "well those chinese restaurants don't seem that trustworthy haha"
>queue 100 raids

And I'm not skilled with sharpening knives, which I'd like to remedy

Thought about starting with a wet stone set

Before buying something nice for once

@Sapharanth consider Ikea knife sharpeners. I'm not very skilled at it either but those automatic ones are better than me trying to do it manually

@porco tasks: cutting lmao (ok actually anything from cutting up fruit snacks at work, to cutting boxes, plastic seals, heck even first aid - removing splinters)

they work surprisingly well

electric sharpeners take off a lot of steel tho

get this somewhere

True, knew a super comfy Korean restaurant that was like old style country houses . Food was okay but over priced but think it's in bussiness because atmosphere

pocketable sharpener, very easy to use (just pull your knife out of it)

I got one of those from some weird event 7 years ago, since then it's my ECD knife https://www.mein-taschenmesser.de/item/images/19/1600x1200/19-Wenger-Kinder-Taschenmesser-10-t.jpg

This is my current EDC knife :)

So as you can see I'm not a man of standards

tbh I go for this pocket sharpener more than I do go for my spyderco sharpmaker

@fireglow then get one like mine

you know what's actually the comfiest knife tho

@fireglow mfw I went through all of germany twice with an illegal pocket knife without knowing I even had it in my backpack

Same, in the UK

I'm the criminal

ignore their garbage ads, cold steel recon 1 feels SO good in the hand

even saved my life once. Some car crashed into my car while driving, I came off the road and my seat was blocked. I was lucky to have it so I could cut my way out of the car seat

it's got a full secure grip like a fixed blade

also they arent kidding about that lock

since then I have it all the time just in case

yea I carry my Victorinox with me at all times too

a really good xmas gift too

>recon 1
>$169.99

i used to carry a fixed blade, current job wont let me though
