Cobol's latest successes - Toad in the whole and a home made sausage roll - FTFW yum, yum.
Has it gotten its requisite first sharpening on your whetstones?
Toad in the hole has nothing to do with frogs...
Well don?t bother enlightening us ...
No. Hoping it'll stay sharp for a long while. Gonna store this one in the box as I don't have a knife block. I have a feeling that some knife blocks scratches the sides of your blade anyway.
Ah, I wasn't sure if Macs followed the trend of other (Japanese) knife makers in that they come needing to be "opened" requiring a first sharpening.
I like magnetic strips for their practicality, and that they make a nice display doesn't hurt either.
Is this something you've read or have you bought a knife that needed sharpening before use? I'm under the assumption that all the western style Japanese knives (brands like Shun, Miyabi etc) come ready to use.
Once I move somewhere more permanent and get more knives, I'll get a magnetic knife block.
