I had to look up the translation. Looks good to me!

Here's my Stagurday breakfast. Egg, bacon, toast and Eggplant Caponata. Always have my V8!

Got this one in a few weeks ago, stainless liners, A-2 steel - which don't know much about but it's taking an even but not pronounced patina. 3 3/8" - 8.5 cm Extremely pleased with it all round due to use, looks and excellent finish. It's useful for food tasks, slicing salami very keenly. Fruits too as shown. Blade shape is unusual and effective.

Your “Cutter” is a beautiful knife and very practical. I have one on order.

All the information I have about A2 tool steel where it relates to knives. How long has the steel been around? How do you heat treat it? How good is it?

cigarrodog Many thanks, I KNOW you will be delighted when you receive yours and look forward to seeing it.

The link you provided was most interesting, I'm not a metallurgist and have scant knowledge of chemistry but is was very readable and throughly presented . Much better than other articles I found about it, one of which said A-2 excels as the material for stainless kitchen sinks Not exactly encouraging....However, I find its performance very good indeed and stropping maintains a healthy edge for slicing. It is developing an attractive and even patina, less blotchy than carbon but more pronounced than that of D-2. Nor does it impart flavour on to foods as carbon can often do ( I suspect though that it's carbon knives with brass liners, there's some sort of reaction going on).

Regards, Will

OMG, Sam Houston is rolling over in his grave! Is it too much to ask for some pulled pork or roast beef on that delicious looking sandwich?

Haha, you ain’t kidding, my friend
It was pretty tasty. Might inspire a Cuban next time around, an all time fave

My evening meals are almost always "casseroles" somewhat like the one shown here. The ingredients on the cutting board, clockwise from lower left, are green onions from our back yard (not a common ingredient in my meals), asparagus (also a "special treat"), potatoes, celery, baby carrots, and green bell peppers. The bowl already has some frozen corn in it, I occasionally use baked beans as "sauce", and after the vegetables were nuked, I added some browned ground turkey to the final mix. (The mandarin orange is for the next morning's breakfast.)




What's in the bowl will be split into two servings, so I can enjoy it on two consecutive evenings.
