[Samon]

I put my enaki in a good pond i found last night..15 good eels in it this morning...i got 6 more this avo...These will be delicious after a cold smoke tomorrow....#23 and my filleter did the sharp stuff...............Fes

Cracking picture!

Great pair of tools and some fat eels.. Lucky bugger.


I don't think we can fish for eels here anymore, due to elver poaching/extinction.. Damned shame as eel sure is a lovely oily old bit of dinner!

Does the taste ever go away once the blade is patina'd?

In my experience, the taste of the 1095 steel diminishes but never goes away. It is more noticeable (stronger) when cutting up meat after cutting acidic foods like tomatoes. It is not so noticeable if I cut the meat first, then the veggies. However, most recipes have the veggies go into the pot first.

Funny thing: My cocker spaniel loves tomatoes but will not eat a piece of one cut with 1095 or O-1 steel. She will eat pieces cut with D2 and any stainless I have tried.

Really? I'm way out of touch, when I was a kid, sometimes eels were all you could catch! Good haul Fes:thumbup:

I'm carrying this matched pair in ebony today, a very generous belated birthday present from ScruffUK yesterday

Don't bother with the Zippo anymore as I quit smoking. Leaves more money for knives.

Oh, my. I had forgotten that one.
Here's my new toy. It kinda tricky to sharpen. I'm thinking about getting a set of those wedge shaped stones, with the radius.

Carrying the Tina 606 today, my wife doesn't understand that I just can't 'open' a box, I needs to be slicing it up a bit once it's open and this Tina is quite the slicer and I'm still impressed with how fine a point this has, probably one of the pointiest knives I've owned, it really takes the Pie !!
( I know the saying is it takes the cake, but, I don't much care for cake now do I? but Pie, that's the ticket )

I sharpen my hawkbills with a Smiths pocket diamond rod.
