And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
Paudin knives are made in China, so I'll pass. I have two nakiris, this year I upgraded to a Fujitora Tojiro FU-310 featuring a san mai blade with a VG10 core. VG10 will keep a razor sharp edge for a long time, I think I've sharpened it once after 4 months of use, and I use it to slice meat and veggies everyday. I've had numerous injuries and surgery on both the right wrist and shoulder so using a super-sharp knife saves me pain. A nakiri is designed for slicing vegetables, so the end is blunt. You need to have a chef's knife with a point too. Those two knives plus a paring knife are all I need.
I prefer the Z-28 springmatic. Made out of the repurposed (yes that's a word that means scrap) Camaro leaf spring that I totalled in 74. It has a maple wood handle.
I bought a couple of Paudin 5" utility knives that I put in the wooden block knife holder in the kitchen (replaced some other knives). They do the job well and they are "right" there every time I need one.
Pass.

ReplyDeleteA nakiri is NOT a meat cleaver.
