Worked for me as well. Membership expired a year ago.

Or a victorinox/mercer. I generally won’t buy a knife online if there’s no choil shot. I assume the yaxell will be a thick wedgy boi.

better conductivity means less hotspots lol, conductivity is also better for responsive temperature control

Preheat and cook at the right temperature lol, skill issue for sure.

Most stainless pans would last a lifetime I’d imagine. It could cook food better compared to lower quality cookware with more even heat…

have been wearing these for a few years, can recommend, feels more secure than slides or flip flops.

Like anyone else with gear acquisition syndrome, I’ve definitely got more knives than I need and performance doesn’t really matter in…

I think it has a "terrible grind" because the choil example I'm seeing off the reddit post is so incredibly thick (i.e. bad). You may have…

The KC702 has a [terrible…

Fwiw a bunka often evolves into an unintentional nakiri. I've heard no shortage of stories of k-tip profiles tipping accidentally including…

It's not a bargain. It's an $80 knife that performs worse than a similarly priced [Tojiro](https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/827243) with…

It could be the use of asymmetry to reduce the thickness overall to improve cutting performance and counter steer, this is a good forum…

I think it's a reasonable price for a knife. I do not think that you're getting similar performance to the Konosuke HD2 ($400) that OP has…

No doubt the profiles look similar. I'm very curious that they perform similar given the dramatic difference in the thickness between that…

Unless you live in a humid environment (i.e. QLD or NT), I wouldn't bother oiling the knife after each use to deter rusting.

It's interesting that the Minamoto Kanemasa has the same performance and laser grind given the [choil shot looks like…

You could probably get a lighter carbon steel pan compared to cast iron for similar conductivity properties (apparently carbon is slightly…

Doesn't look like it, the IKEA has this funky silicone insert in the handle (with usually poor F&F, so sharp edges where the materials…

The IKEA Sensuell range is a very thicc 3ply boi. The most important part is how much aluminium is in the build, which is the heat response…

It's an encapsulated base: https://scanpan.com.au/impact/ Technically only 3-ply for the base, and the walls are thin. 3-ply is more…

What do you mean by this? Beef tallow and vegetable oil have a similar smoke point.…

Not really, carbon steel can have a similar specific heat capacity to stainless steel. I assume this 3-ply pan is actually…

Around 190C is when it starts turning into pearls, the leidenfrost effect. If it bubbles and evaporates it's just >100.…

You can use it without the subscription but it won’t have recordings and other features. Only live view I think. I replaced my set up…

They’re pretty thick, would recommend slimmer belts for formal clothing if you have belt loops.

Unlikely to find a better cost/performance ratio than this imo, apart from a takamura r2 (prone to chipping if you're not careful)

probably not unless you mount it high enough the cat can't touch the exposed blades

Yes but you need to deal with gumtree people

had bosch aerotwins for a month now and they squeak, wipertechs have at least lasted longer.

Anyone else’s order under “Waiting for Approval” instead of being confirmed?
