I promise to upload something deep, inspiring, thought provoking, insightful, and meaningful very very soon. In the meantime, look at my new cool knives! I have wanted these suckers for a long time. They are so cool, and Japanese, and colorful! And oh so sharp. Sometimes I forget that because they look like toys. Not toys. Sharp food murdering objects. (I only murder vegetables.)
They are Komachi knives! Come to my house and I will cut you something!
Weirdness! What are those made of?
They say “high carbon stainless steel” on them. So I guess high carbon stainless steel- whatever that is. I don’t get the high carbon part. I am off to google it.

It appears my knives are the best of both worlds between carbon steel and stainless steel.
