I’ve cut myself so many times with my Wüsthoffs 🩹

They're amazing knives, but the handles are very unpleasant. Victorinox are similar. Honestly, I was suspicious of Robert Welch, but the handle is so amazingly ergonomic and easy to grip. It entirely changed my relationship with dicing as well. I have three RWs now and I'm thinking of getting more. Maybe I'll treat myself for Christmas.

Just wish I had more of a kitchen, sigh.

We have Robert Welch cutlery - a gift from Brit family. But all our serious knives are Wüsthoffs.

I know that it feels dirty to admit that they're as good. I was the same.

But you cannot argue with that smooth, rounded handle. Go on. Touch it. Be enticed by it. Give in to it...

I feel I’m being controlled by some invisible force 😊
 
I have a fancy Japanese breadknife that's tasted my blood more than once. My wife says it was probably forged from the steel of some mythical hero's sword. "Behold, the legendary Blade of the Baker! Never shall it be sheathed until it has drunk of the blood of the hungry and the careless."

That's sad. It's been said that being "a celebrity" frequently means you have no life outside of your fame. And it depends to a certain extent on your "fame". Is it positive, or is there notoriety attached? TMZ and the paparazzi can turn your external interests into a circus.

Offhand, I know of three celebrities whose interests are of a "Huh?" nature. Sir Rod Stewart is a good example - he is a model railroad hobbyist, a very good one as a matter of fact. There will be articles about his interests in hobby magazines from time to time, but doesn't participate in online forums. Another is Warren Buffett, the gazillionaire, whose train hobby is not limited to owning the BNSF Railway, he has or had a large Lionel train layout in his home. Joe Walsh (of the Eagles) is a ham radio hobbyist; the late Marlon Brando was also a ham radio enthusiast.

As to how people like these and even people only "famous" within their hobby niche can be treated in an open forum? It's truly disgusting sometimes. Forums I've participated in have had hobby company managers show-up for honest, informed exchanges, and one or two assholes will air their grievances like a dog who won't let go of the rag. The managers don't hang around for long.

Folks losing their shit over some temp job employees just because they were on a tv a few times.
 
One of my kitchen favourites is a big chopper that I got for ridiculously cheap on a whim at the markets one day. It came with a warning that if the chopper should be accidentally dropped, one should not attempt to catch it with hands or feet, which seems like solid advice.

Nothing fancy, just a single piece with dimples on the back of the blade for one's fingers. It does the job and it feels good in the hand. I wouldn't recommend it for peeling spuds though.
