Very nice, Chris. Quite informative.
When you sit down? What kind of kitchen do you work in!:lol: For me that doesn't happen til I get in my car at the end of the day!:D Okay, just kidding you a bit. I like the baggy pants myself. I find them cooler when it's hot and...
I think Shun makes one of the best paring knives out there. Even among guys who bash Shun you'll find love for that one. The shape & ergonomics is very close to perfect.
