Same here, which is I why I did not use those certain three letters in my rant... they just reminded me of that other guy by unfortunate coincidence... and yeah, congrats, you figured out who I was ranting about.

I was NOT referring to any individual who may or may not happen to have those same three letters in his/her username.

I think he meant the new guy that has been hanging around here GSO with some numbers. He is Weaponeer's friend I believe. Did a give away for a bunch of seasonings.

PLUS I think the GSO knives are actually by Survive Knives. Which are HORRIBLE in my opinion. Granted this was ONLY my opinion.

What do you think is wrong with Survive! Knives?

They use excellent materials and heat treat through PHT...

I havent held or used one but the handles look comfortable enough as well. And i have only heard good stuff from people who used them. I know you said it was only your opinion but im just curious what you didnt like about them?
 
The "neck knife" looks and IS thoroughly uncomfortable. It's this tiny blade with a hole and a rat tail. I'd rather hold a scorpion than hold that knife ever again. Even "professional" knife people couldn't figure out a way to make that damn knife comfortable. And the price they were charging for it. Plus the fact they aren't even doing their heat treat makes it even more meh for me. Couple that with the fact I'm very meh about "super steels" and the amount they charge for them. Plus, they aren't comfortable. That is why I say they are horrible.

Oh ok. And i can understand with the little neck knife, it looks uncomfortable to me too. The full size blades look good to me though. But again i have no experience with them. Just curious. Thanks
 
Like I said, that is just my opinion. Take it for what its worth mind you which it isn't much. Keep in mind also, I haven't gotten any real world USE out of it, just some fondling at the store. All that said, the amount that they cost, I'd rather get a Becker with a Pat Frieda steak.
 
Over 100 bucks for 2 raw steaks is insane. Granted im sure they would be delicious but unless the flavor never leaves my mouth it wouldnt be worth it to me. Id regret it the moment the plate was empty.
 
These are one of those steaks you can actually thin slice and eat raw. It's THAT good. There has only been one other steak that I have done that with. Had a steak tartar with actual Kobe/Wagyu beef. This was the pre-ban, pre-mad cow from Japan.

my almost fiance did this for me. it was good steak. the birthday present was epic. dry cleaning optional :D
 
100 bucks for 2 steaks? Don't get me wrong, I love my steak, but I would never pay that much for two steaks. That cow better do a song and dance number or something udderly (sorry for the really bad pun) amazing to earn that price.

Maybe I'd buy 4 steaks for that price of it was a really special occasion, like a saturday. :D
 
I have been out to eat with the wife on special occasions and have had a meal cost the 2 of us over 100 a couple times. But thats cooked steak, with sides. And thats only on real special occasions. Paying over 100 and still have to cook them yourself is crazy.

imagine please:

a rib eye, that's over 2 inches thick, marbled to perfection, weight is around 20 ounces...

the chef, has trained for 20 years before being allowed to touch your steak.

it's cooked with such loving care, that all the cow ancestors feel honored and blessed

the perfect sear, the perfect color and temperature.

the absolutely perfect mouth feel

you become one with steak, your mouth has an orgasm, the after glow lasts for hours and hours

in the mean time, you have a baked potato soaked in bacon fat under a full moon by elves, hand rubbed with sacred sea salts

the butter was made that morning from the milk of virgin cow blessed with udderly good cream

everything else is perfectly sublime... the wine, the decore, the ambience

when you take a dump later, a choir of angels sing, and you orgasm once more, but not from the steak, but your body rejecting unclean proteins from your body

and ... you didn't pay for a dime of that :)

plus the service afterwards, yup, happy birthday to you

I'm with Nathan. I truly enjoy quality food, and I've been blessed to enjoy more than my share in my time on this crazy planet...,, but gimme a break, I gotta draw a line somewhere. $50 for a frozen beef steak I gotta cook myself..? **** no. That's just dumb. I know people who raise that stuff! Who do ya think yer kiddin'? :rolleyes:

Don't gimme no line about a fancy-schmancy chef cooking it either. It's a STEAK. It ain't that hard, yo. Oh, it comes with a tater and salad? Yeah, I got that covered. For $50/plate there better be dancing girls and fireworks included.

Anyone want to convince me otherwise, you cover the check and hand me a fork. Go on, educate me. I already have a knife ;)

On the other hand, bring that $50/plate to my house and me and Ang will set you up with steak salad and taters and delicacies you can not get in any restaurant or store... with plenty money left over for beverages :thumbup:

Oops I almost forgot... "so good you could eat it raw"...

Well DUH! if it ain't good enough to eat raw, it ain't much of a steak.

Suddenly I'm ravenously hungry for one of the true delicacies of my home state... WildCat. I'm told the "recipe" comes from Eastern Europe and they used to call it steak tartar... or sometimes horse tartar...
