i can’t believe an adult actually bought the homosexual rbg lights for his house lol that stuff is advertised on tiktok bud

>>13564018

They came with the house

>>13564006
How the fuck did you manage to break a Wusthof knife, OP? Those things are built like tanks.

>>13564161

Coring a red bell pepper

>>13564161
Depends on which line of wusthofs. Wusthof makes full lines of both stamped and forged steel knives. I’m not sure which the epicure line of knives is made of.

Now is a British knife.

>>13564186
I looked it up. The epicures are forged. This guy must have abused the shit out of his knife to break a forged santoku.

>>13564197
Could it be a forgery, like literally a fake?

>>13564197
I basically only used it to cut vegetables tho

>>13564208
What like Coconuts?

>>13564208
Asked on the state of your blade’s edge I’ll say you may have only cut vegetables but it was certainly abused.

>>13564006
hope you weren't cutting on marble.

>>13564006
Let me guess, glass cutting board?

>>13564260
I know someone that does this.

>>13564219

I only used a pull sharper desu, that's probably why.

>>13564260

Nah, thick black plastic one about 30 years old

>>13564273
What an absolute shit grind job, you probably chipped it on your low-grit dogshit and never even noticed because the mile wide grooves hid it from you.

>>13564306

The $10 supermarket half tang knife lasted me 6 years whereas the wusthof only lasted 2 despite babying it way more

>>13564184
Ah, totally understandable, those things are build pretty tough.

>>13564328
I call bullshit. Forged knives don’t just break. What is wusthof’s warranty?

>>13564273
What's going on with the exposed face of the fracture? Are those little spots of rust in there, or are those bits of what you were cutting?

Because if there was rust inside the blade, this was probably a manufacturing defect and you should complain to the company.

>>13564375
That’s definitly the food He was cutting.

>>13564328
>The $10 supermarket half tang knife lasted me 6 years whereas the wusthof only lasted 2
Hardened steel cracks when damaged, soft china pot steel does not.
You damaged it, chief, learn to sharpen a knife.

>>13564018
How would you know about what's advertised on ticktock? Because you're a fag and you use it.

>>13564208
OP been chopping durians

>>13564006
That's what you get for having faggot reddit lighting.

>>13564006
Obviously the quench outwitted the quality of steel and turned it crystalline.

>>13564006
>>13564018
What? Are they just purple light bulbs or wtf is this?

>>13564544

He's getting high and came down crooked on his cutting board while he was passing out and snapped his blade. The lights are to make the mushrooms more cerebral.

>>13564186
>Wusthof makes full lines of both stamped and forged steel knives
Have you ever watched a video of how those knives are made? There is no sch thing as a "forged" Wüsthof, as in, drop forged from a lump of steel. The "forged" knives are stamped as blanks from the same giant roll of steel sheet as the stamped ones. The only difference is that the "forged" knives have the bolster area induction heated, then that area is hydraulically squished together so it forms a bulge and then that bulge (and only the bulge) is drop forged into shape. The blade never comes into contact with a hammer. They show it very clearly in their production video on youtube.

>>13564665
True. The real difference is how the two are heat treated. The forged wusthofs are considerably harder than the stamped versions. If you get the two side by side you can feel how much more flexible the metal on the stamped versions is. A lot easier to break.

>>13564197
Do forged santukos go through torture testing like utility knives?
>45°, 95°, 120° bend tests

No way a Wüsthof made from soft German steel break just from coring a bellpepper. This was a manufacturing defect. I once bought a used German WMF chef knife from ebay that was totally crooked, apparently a factory defect and blade was warped from quenching. No idea how that ever made it through QC. I was able to straighten it but I had to put nearly all my weight (280lbs) and strength behind it and bend the blade nearly 45° on a bench, that is how tough those knives are. Contact Wüsthof, they ought to replace that knife for free.

It's pretty funny how X50CrMoV15 or 4116 is considered durable when actual testings show it being only a bit tougher than vg10.

>>13564006

>>13564802
>ceramic
Whoever did that was asking for it.

I thought only nipshit knives break

>>13564161
Sliced it with ease using superior Nippon steel folded over 1000 times

>>13564802
Their phones are better than their knives

>>13565157
nipshit knives last 4 handles.
German knives are always fucking broken and devalue 90% once the turk stabs them off the dealership parking drawer

>>13564006
congratulations on your new Chinese cleaver.

>>13564544

There's RGB undwe the cabinets, and a remote to change the colors.

>>13564705

I figured I had a chip in it and bent it exactly the wrong way when trying to pop the seed ball out of the top of the pepper after cutting around it. Are you saying that's unlikely?

>>13565947

>>13566025
I like how it looks

>>13566256
Of course you do, toxobrain.

>>13564006
>BUT /ck/ SAID TO SMASH GARLIC WITH THE KNIFE BLADE AND THAT GARLIC PRESSES ARE BAD UNITASKERS!!!!

>>13566687
You don't smash garlic with your knife if it's thin. Also if you're breaking your tips when smashing garlic it's because you're bending the tip rather than smashing the garlic.

>>13566874
>Place garlic on flat surface
>Place knife at 45 degree angle over garlic
>Make sure the weakest part of the knife is on a solid surface
>Smack that bitch downward with the might of Hercules
>Break knife

Aw. A kitty kat!

>>13566256
That looks absolutely pathetic. The combination of cheesy old cabinets and the neon lights, truly an American taste.

>>13564006
Keep it on behalf of /ck/ when kommandos think they be running things. Who knows if a kommando gun would be able to pull the trigger on a ha/ck/let?

>>13564006
Sorry for your loss OP

>>13566953

In my defense, I bought the house 3 months ago like this. In my price range, this was literally the biggest kitchen I could get

>>13567138
It's fine, dude. Don't let shit people on here get to you. Half the derogatory shit on here is said out of jealousy or the desire to inflict unhappiness.

Congrats on the house.

>>13564006
Batonny chop chop

>>13566256

Awww. Kitty on top of the fridge.

>>13567138

What >>13567151 said. Lots of haters who are bitter on the inside. Was in another thread and someone made a shit comment about OPs tacos having salsa on them. 4Chan is a joke.

>>13566256
shitty builder grade cabinets
backsplash doesn't go to bottom of uppers
3/4" thick shit granite tops
>you paid $400,000.00 for a $90,000.00 house

>>13565957
>re you saying that's unlikely?
Yeah I'm pretty sure that is unlikely. Have you taken a look at the surface/inside of the crack? Can you tell if the surface shows discolorations or two different finishes/tones that might indicate a crack? Also take a look at the shard of the blade near the fracture - if you really levered with the blade hard enough for it to break it ought to be at least a little bent in that area. I'd try to get a replacement from Wüsthof.

>>13566256
Nice counters, wine fridge... That's a fine kitchen. The rgb isn't my thing. If it programmable then you could just set it to bright or soft white and it'd be most people's tastes. That range though... I'd much rather gas. Good job on the house.

>>13567194
Lol. Jealous af. Good job living in your parents basement so that you haven't paid 400k for a 400k house.

>>13567226
you can't refute what i posted. my post stands. :)

>>13566256
CHECK THE MAIL

>>13564193
wait brits are circumcising their knifes too now?

>>13567263
>He doesn't know
IIRC some faggots cooked those up and then used the existence of their design to try and get pointy kitchen utensils further restricted. Of course it was for
>safety
but it was really about locking down the market. IDK what they'd do about the multitudes of things that necessarily have points. Or the existence of files. I reprofiled a 16" machete by hand with some files I'm sure it's fucking nothing to sharpen a screwdriver.

>>13564161
Spreading chunky peanut butter on my toast

>>13567194

It was listed for 272 and I got it for 250, which for 4 bedrooms and a basement, garage and shop not in the ghetto is a p good price to pay for some slightly dated flipper friendly cabinets

>>13566256
Yeah, who wouldn't want to feel like they're living in a low budget skiffy movie?

>>13567194
You're thinking of a unit. When buying a house you mostly pay for the land and location. The building is relatively inconsequential.

>>13567165
>>13566953

He sick :(

>>13567722
oh no...

>>13566256
you wouldnt have someone living in your house named kim or john would you? this looks almost identical to my ex gfs house holy fuck.

Just get those goofball lights out and get a 2700K light package so you know what your food really looks like to human beings.

>>13564006
I have a sankaku knife I got for free from a grocery store I worked for over 10 years ago and it's still in one piece. how the fuck did you split a knife like that? Are you.. wait.. why are you retarded?

>>13569280

OP Just picked a Sanhoohoo knife that had a different metallurgical configuration and temper than yours. Some knives bend, other knives break. Some are dull as shit for their entire lives, some aren't.

>>13566256

1x800x386x1215 option #4 and enter your case#. Talk to you on Monday after you start a fire in it while cooking a potato.

The only microwave you ever buy is the Panasonic Genius. Doesn't matter what decade you live in.

>>13564006

ImGine buying a $250 knife just to cut vegetables and then somehow snapping it the fuck in half

>>13569313
I have an Emerson microwave in my kitchen that I bought on clearance at Target in 2008 for $35 and it's the only microwave I've owned for over a decade.

>>13569316

If it works, use it. I'm setting a baseline.

>>13569313
I have a Panasonic Turbo-Inverter rangehood combo. I think it was installed in the 90s.

>>13569338
Did it turbo invert properly?

>>13569315
Based fat finger mobile typer, hitting the shift instead of the ‘a’.

>>13569341
I think I've only pressed the Turbo-Inverter button once. It didn't explode, but I didn't notice any difference.

>>13569353

It transported you 2 years into the future and you didn't realize it.

>>13569362
I think it might have actually transported me to the most hellish timeline. I pressed it back in 2009, and everything just felt odd since then...

>>13569376
>"...And so Anon finds himself Turbo-Inverting from life to life, striving to put right what once went wrong and hoping each time that his next Turbo-Invert... will be the Turbo-Invert home."

Probably a defect in the grain structure and the fact that the steel is so hard. Email them, you might get lucky.

>>13569294
GE absolutely fails at microwaves.
I dont know the failure you speak of, but my GE microwave has a faulty membrane keypad that registers phantom button presses for no reason. This causes it to turn on and run in the middle of the night, or make random beeping sounds. It cannot be left plugged in. It still heats food when it feels like obeying.
And to think this is the same company that makes aircraft engines, medical devices, power generation turbines, and critical infrastructure equipment. They are too incompetent to make a fucking microwave oven.

>>13569396
dude give me a call on monday, bitch at the nigger and ask to talk with a supervisor and I'll sell you a new control panel for 75% off the ZOT price.

ngl, that episode was surprisingly ballsy and heartwarming for its time, and beat the shit out of most modern "very special episodes"

Exactly. They took it on. I have some weird feeling that Donald Bellisario was involved with that damn show.

>>13569396
>My one item has an issue of unknown origin, so literally everything in every division of this company is bad

You're like those idiots in amazon reviews that aggressively swear off a company because their product got dented in shipping.
