pandarilla Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 I'm going to invest in a new kitchen knife. Medium size, like a utility knife or a small 'chefs' knife.Not too expensive but are there brands i should go for, or even avoid. How much gets me a good quality all purpose quality knife? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope you're not planning a murder spree, but if you are get one with a space in the handle to strap it into your hand.

I reckon it’s because icebergs are said to be 90% below the waterline (just ask Capt EJ Smith (deceased)). It’s the 10% above the waterline that melts in that causes all the bother with the rising levels. That 10% above the waterline in your glass (probably less actually, as seawater is more buoyant than your drinking water so your ice cube, made from drinking water and sitting in drinking water, will likely sit lower) will be barely noticeable in such a small vessel. And then there’s evaporation that will happen during the time the ice takes to melt to also take into account that will further mitigate the noticeable rise in level. There’s not much on tv tonight, is there? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pandarilla Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 I've had expensive Japanese knives and cheapo stuff out of TK Maxx. My favourite is just a standard Sabatier chef's knife, mainly because it's the easiest one to keep sharp. Maybe £40.Sabatier's a bit of a funny one because there's a bunch of different companies selling under the name so look for one that was made in Thiers in France.Ordered.Carbon steel. 45 quid sabatier.It's fucking weird but I'm really excited by this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
