/ck/ - Food & Cooking

I use a fallkniven white whale, I paid 200cad for it but I like it, I sharpen once a week or twice a week and it stays pretty beast. needs a good whack on a steel every now and then, I cut ahi with it a lot and it does the trick.

What kind of steel is it, anon?

Why is the meat in the picture raw?

>>6812838
You're on a cooking board, and you can't respect a rare steak?

>>6812809
Just let it develop a patina.
Optionally, you could also not buy some weeb memesteel.

>>6812845
It would be rare to survive an encounter with such a steak.

>>6812856
You would be an absolute mongoloid to eat Waygu cooked higher than medium rare.

>>6812856
You're an idiot

another made up memefood I see. Enjoy your trillion dollar placebo :^)

Tried it, also tried mineral oil and dusting the steel. AS and blue steel just oxidize far faster than the norm, which I've learned. Which is why I'm asking for something that isn't difficult to maintain, keeps and edge, and has hardening like vg-10, just with an asymmetrical bevel.

Guaranteed replies.

>keeps edge

just buy like, a 5-100 boxes of scalpels, and toss the blade out after each meal.

Fuck this night as well be /b/. Figures.

I use an Ikkaku Donryu Gyuto for work. I have literally never had an issue with rust or discolor, it's easy as hell to sharpen (~5 minutes on the stone), it keeps a razor edge, and it's only $70-$100 depending on your choice of retailer (I got mine through cherry company at work for $70)

>>6812882
That seems pretty solid, plus I'm a fan of the western handle. Thanks, anon.

Brilliant

>>6812917
tfw those surgical obsidian "so sharp your eyes begin to bleed" scalpels are like, 90 bux each.
Pretty sure they're only good for one operation, too.

>>6812924
So a steak knife is a better option for eating my humans?

>>6812907
It's a pretty good investment; I've used mine for about 4 years now, and it's taken everything I've thrown at it, and it's still sharp enough to shave with after a brief use of the stone every week or two

If I had to guess i'd say on the scale of steel hardness out of 70 it would be a 50-55 range, takes a bit of time to sharpen but holds the edge well, its made in switzerland by japs, its a triple fold santoku style, great ergonomic handle on it i've been using it for a few years without any problems what so ever.

If you're looking for a longer knife though thats preference. I personally like shorter knives for some reason and only whip out my chef knife when I have to blast through a shit ton of root vegetables or something.
