You'd be surprised, you can get plenty of single bevel yanagibas (that knife type) online nowadays. Really good ones will cost you $400-600, and they can easily go into the multiple thousand dollar range. They're really fun to cut with, that's for sure.

I have a 270mm Gesshin Hide from this site:http://www.japaneseknifeimports.com/. The craftmanship is pretty staggering, completely made by hand. It's a complete rabbit hole if you enjoy knives and cooking, I thought my Wusthofs & Shuns were sharp until I got into some of the hand made Japanese carbon knives.

Damn you for linking that site. If my children go to bed hungry it will be your fault. What do you do about sharpening it?

There are some killer knives on there. Is it me or is that site buggy as fuck though?

sharpening knives gets you in as much of a rabbit hole.

i have a rubberaid container just to store my whetstones and act as a way to soak them too.

Works fine in IE, but was having all kinds of problems in Chrome. Sonofa...

Great, now I want a 475.00 knife. I don't think I can justify that.

I use a king 1k/6k combo stone. I actually really enjoy the whole process, it's oddly soothing.

Yes, the site is buggy. The guy who owns the shop is really cool, if you check his YouTube channel there's tons of info on knives, maintenance, sharpening, etc.

I made mother fucking biscuits and gravy for dinner tonight. Some days you have to eat like shit.

Jimmy Dean sage breakfast sausage.

7-up biscuits.

Everyone is strewn across the house in various states of over-eating-induced-stupor.

Finally over my food poisoning. Was really worried. They said if you have the shits for over 72 hours go back to the doctor as it could be something worse. Finally broke at the 70 hour mark.

Fuck, that sucked!

I topped pork loin chops with butter, panko, rosemary, garlic, onion and manchego cheese. Wow, that made an awesome crust on the chops.

Food blog that prominently displays the author's picture and more thought was put into the design than the recipe? Nah, I'll pass. She didn't even balance the pH.

I agree. Here, I've roughed up the format a bit to make it more authentic.
