Good work.
Still in the light of the topic, what’s going on with those knives in your pic Chef? Any huckleberries in your collection to show off?

Try a higher oven temperature and a shorter cooking time for more lava.
Also, its crying out for a caramel sauce glaze!

Good work.

I made hundreds of these when I worked for Anne Burrell at Lumi in NYC.
425 degrees for 8 minutes if I recall.
some came out more gooey. 475F for 9 minutes.

Those are my favorite Glestain Japanese knives.
I' m a bit of a knife freak, between my home and work knives, they number about 45.

I also have a bit of a Global knife collection.

My wife got me a Shun bread knife from Bed Bath and Beyond for 1/3 of the price as it was marked down because someone didn’t pickup their web order. It’s stupid sharp. Helps when cutting through sourdough. Eventually I’d like to get a good knife set or just learn how to sharpen knives with wet stones.

I want a new general purpose chef knife in carbon steel. Need something that fits in a larger than average hand. I had my eye on this Bob Kramer knife for a few years:

My sister and BIL gave me a gift certificate to William and Sonoma so I could get one. Now I can't find a new one anywhere, never mind W&S.

Can anyone here point me in the direction of something like it? I'll use the gift certificate on other things; no loss there.

I just want a high quality knife that I can sharpen at home and use without busting my knuckles when dicing things.

contestants on Hell's Kitchen get a knife set... And by the looks of it you can cook better than some of those jokers. (aside, it's amazing how powerful the threat of prison for murder is, or Ramsay would be simmering on the stove top as tonight's stew)

Hmm, why not https://www.surlatable.com/products/knives/brands/bob-kramer/bob-kramer-carbon-steel/ in Tyson's Corner?

I would go down to your local Sushi-ya on Little River and ask the chef where he got his knife set.

https://nymag.com/strategist/article/best-chefs-knives.html might have some options.

Kramer knives are a high water mark for quality. If that is what you want, then i would recommend waiting until you can get one. Its worth getting what you want at that price point. I sought out a local blade smith (Kraken Forge) for mine. This is my baby. She is a European style chef knife made of ladder damascus and old growth red wood. You have to see it in person to appreciate the chatoyance of the red wood handle. Incredibly sharp and holds an edge like crazy. I love her. This pic was when she was new. She has a nice patina on her now
