I didn't intend to suddenly acquire a bunch of new knives but sometimes things just happen.




This is the one I really like and was shopping for. Milk St was advertising these but they were $70 or more so I bought the Misen thinking it was bigger than a paring knife. It really isn't. But it as only $40 and is a nice knife. This kiji is a nice size at 8 3/4"


This Misen is nice but it's just a little bigger than a 7" paring.


These Kyoceras came up often while searching. Both steel and ceramic. Kellie got these free from her work as some promotional thing from Uline. They're super sharp but only for slicing I think. Never had ceramic blades before.



How the internet works.

I was looking at the Kitchin Kiji. Deemed it unnecessary at that price and bought the Misen. The Kiji popped up on Kellie's feed with a deal at $30. She thought I'd like it and bought it. We never talked about it then two ones show up. Fuck.

Update. The Kitchin Kiji is on sale on their site for $35.

side tidbit -there used to be a Kyocera location, some kinda factory, in East Vancouver/Camus? area. somewhere out your way. Ceramic high tech, some kind of electronics.

1986 - aha. I remember when they opened

Still there I think. It's across from an Asian store, Mexican store and Russian store I go to.

nice variety

Shipped and tax on the Kiji makes it $52 for me.  I'm sure it's worth it, but i have plenty of kitchen knives, and I'm a fan of finding carbon knives at flea markets for a few bucks and refurbishing them.  I'ma apprehensively pass.

A couple weeks ago New Seasons had a sale on halibut. Something silly like 8 or 9 bucks a pound but you had to buy a whole fish though and I don't have the room since I've already committed to a socket salmon share. But they had a bunch of the collars and trim so I picked up a big bag of those and some coho collars. I was in there today and mentioned that. Fishmonger dude hooked me up with some ling cod collars and the spine of probably a 15 pounder gratis. Fun stuff to play with.

Sweet. I like collars. My family isn't into salmon.

had some salmon bellies the other day, cubed and glazed. just amazing. probably socket salmon.
