Yes your right, it's not a full star but that's it. I just wasn't sure what would be the proper name for it

I’m looking for a star but I don’t see one. I see something that looks like an anvil with the letters CCCP above it. Is it meant to be a star?

LOL! it took me a second to understand

"not your magnifier, our magnifier" jokes incoming.

Hey unfortunately no, sorry about that.

By any chance you are selling it?

Yes, but you failed to account for my laziness.

I’ve had my Global for 20 years. Been using it since I was a teenager and probably didn’t treat it great back then. It’s still my favorite. I sharpen and hone it at home using America’s Test Kitchen recommended Chef’s Choice Trizor XV Knife Sharpener that converts any knife to a 15* Japanese edge.

And the animals are sick of being cold

I'm sick of all the judgement. You're useless

You're swimming in good choices. But piece of advice, gift it with a sharpener! That's the difference between an okay knife and a great knife.

I use and recommend this one; I got it at TJ Maxx a decade ago and it's held up and performed nicely.

You can't go wrong with a Wusthoff Classic, but my mother's surprise favorite is the now-discontinued Schmitt Bros. "The One", which is shaped like some kind of ungodly kitchen machete, has enough tip weight to chop with, and has glorious ergonomics. If you find one for sale and don't gift it, let me know so I can buy a spare...

I would recommend buying a really high quality air filter and attaching it to a box fan. Similar to this:

Je m’excuse sincèrement pour toute infraction.

Filson or Bill's Khakis.

So far, only cooking. Marriage has been pretty easy on us. The thing is damn sharp though...

Second

the best one is one you can handle. personally I get really good results with a sharpening block, my SO can handle a sharpening stick like noone I've ever seen 🤷

One a year? A good chef knife subject to daily use needs to be sharpened much more frequently than that.

The Mercer Genesis handles are my favorite of any knife I've ever used! They just never move in your grip unless you intend it. Effortless control.

I just with they had a narrow blade paring option as theirs is a bit wide and I use the Henkel for more fine work. In retrospect, I'd just get a Mercer Mellenia for detail work

Project Farm did a review of various knife sharpeners, and recommends the Lansky style system.

Carhartt has excellent pants.

A Global and the 2 stage minosharp pull through sharpener is an awesome combo.

I'll also recommend Wusthof, although I prefer the Ikon to the Classic, mostly due to the handle.

Very happy with my wüsthof too! Also, OP, get yourself a knife sharpening stick or stone and learn how to maintain your knifes. you can "practice" on your cheaper knifes too

I went through 3 sets in 20 years on my Genesis II. Finally retired her last year. Gave her to an appreciative family member.
