All these things I have done

This summer and fall has been an amazing journey food wise. I bought this japanese knife back in 1993. I recently got it sharpened and have begun using it again. It's made of high carbon steel they don't make japanese knives like this anymore. Most are made of stainless steel which is cheaper, lighter, and last longer. When I took it to get sharpened at my local cutlery shop in Philadelaphia. The person sharpening my knive was swooning over it. He mentioned that they don't make high carbon steel knives like this because of the cost to produce them. I think I bought this knive for $150.00 back in 1993 that was a long time ago.

Moving on I was able to travel to one of my ultimate foodie destinations San Francisco. If you haven't been there it's a must visit town for any foodie. I haven't kept up with my reviews because I'm setting up a new blog and setting up a you tube channel, and I'm looking to expand my yelp reviews also. Stay tuned for lots of good things happening.
