I need a new laptop - old one is 6 years old and I want to run Zwift/Trainer Road. But that's very Christmassy.
Um... a good selection of booze and letting myself drink more than normal probably counts.

Both are good knives IMO. I was also thinking about a petty knife from the brands I listed in my thread ... hmmm ... I think I might end up getting them.

I guess the n+1 rule applies to your reasoning for buying knives 😀 . I have a Kai 3000 140mm santuko knife and for my needs (as a vegi) it is all the knife I could possibly need or want for my food prep, and no......I do not eat bought prepared meals of any description. I also have two mates who are very successful/admired restaurant owners/chefs and between them they own 3 businesses, when I go round their houses or after hours in the restaurant I have never seen them choose from a quiver of blades as they tend to use one fav knife.
Going by what I've read about your previous knife collection I imagine your kitchen drawers hold a fearsome array of weaponry, if the zombie apocalypse ever rings true then I'll be standing behind you 😉

Ya, n+1 rule is about right ... 😳
Your Kai 3000 ST Santoku exact measurement is [b]145mm [/b]... nearly bought that and a petty too ... 😮
If I were to use only one knife it would be my very industrial farming like Thai vegetable cleaver (no problem cutting through chicken bones too) made of car suspension spring.
If not that then it would be my Sugimoto or Tojiro veg cleaver.

eerrmm ... ya you are right again.
Some of my earlier ones are meant to be used as practice for my Japanese sharpening stone skill.
😕
edit: Western knives manufacturers only started to adopt some of the Japanese style knife profiles in the last 3 years. Before that I could not even find proper veg cleaver so kept buying. Then the only proper ones were made by CCK Cleavers (made in HK) which are amongst the best low budget ones but the Chinese supermarkets in the Toon stopped selling them and started to sell those cheapo Chinese made ones ...
edit edit: Tell you chef mates to get some Takeda like [url= http://www.chefknivestogo.com/takeda-knives.html ]these here.[/url]
This might be the first Christmas I've not bought myself a present. I'm actually not sure what I'd want anyway. I've perhaps been a little too generous over the years!
I do have a Kai Santoku on the way for my birthday in a couple of weeks though!
A Howies Lull jacket.
And I very carefully specified a ti wire foon for bike packing and the lost lanes Wales book to be supplied by rellies.
