Things poor people say to rationalize their poverty, I'm sure you're a master of all things you do for fun, yes?

>>9406263
All those things make me cringe. There's a difference between being wealthy and spending money like a nigger.

My blade can cut through armor, and still cut a tomato!

>>9406281
>a person is wealthy because of consumer goods
I don't think you understand what "wealth" is, anon. It's got nothing to do with this conversation. A person can be not poor, while still not being wealthy. Wealth is a whole other order of magnitude, which is not measured in consumer goods.

>>9405539
I can take a $10 knife to a belt sander and it will be just as sharp as (((luxury knives))).

>>9406318
>I don't think you understand what "wealth" is, anon.
I don't think you do. Anyone who can afford to spend $100k on a hobby is in the top 0.5% of the wealthiest in the world. And at least in the top 5% in America. If wealth and poverty are on a linear scale on opposite ends I'd say anyone 5% from the extreme could be considered wealthy.

I don't know why wealth and poverty attract so many incorrect notions.

>>9407086
Top 5% means nothing in the US, do you have any idea how few people control the overwhelming majority of the wealth? A person at the bottom of the top 5% is closer to someone in the bottom 25% than he is to someone in the top 1%

Please post more sexy knives.

>>9407055
Belt sander finish isn't as durable as stone on a micro level. (Also, the alloy can definitely make a difference).

Of course, if you're just gonna keep sanding it whenever the blade gets too dull, then it doesn't really matter.

>>9405539
Why's the handle so ugly?

>>9407093
Yeah but we're still the ruling class of the world. Our poor people have air conditioning and free food. The only homeless are those too mentally unstable to fill out their government paperwork.

I use an old handmade chef's knife my grandfather made. Nothing special but it does a great job and I never had any problem with it.

>>9407267
It looks small as well.
Must of been custom made for Donald Drumpff and his tiny, pikey hands.

>>9405851

but I do...

>>9405756
A laser cutter isn't so much about cutting power but more about precision, ya dingus

I use a $10 knife I purchased at Wal-Mart created by Chicago Cutlery.
Actually just got one sharpening it on an 8000 grit whetstone. Razer sharp.
Compared to their other knives, this one has a pretty thin metal for being SS, very easy to keep sharp.

>>9405802
Think you're funny, do ya. Bet you're having a proper giggle.

Every summer a bunch of old geezers in every city die from heatstroke. An AC doesn't do you much good when you can't afford the electric bill

1 in 6 children in the US experiences malnutrition. Childhood malnutrition causes behavioral problems and reduced adult intelligence, which translate to reduced economic output due to the fact that retards can't do complex jobs or follow rules

I just got this for now since I didn't have an actual chef's knife. Got it mostly for blade shape and definitely not for the gimicky sharpener. There wasn't much to choose from at walmart.

>>9405539

It was a gift, ass

>>9410082
That's bullshit. Every cheap food is enriched with all the essential vitamins you need. No way 1 in 6 children aren't eating dry cereal at least

>>9410082
Dude I'm from one of the poorest counties in my state and malnutrition may exist but it isn't from lack of services and so isn't preventable. Free breakfast and lunch year around at every public school. Like I said b4 there are some people so stupid you can't help them. If you're so poor you can't afford a/c you probably could qualify for section 8 subsidies.

>>9411221
As if there was a difference. Even German top line knives with bolsters are all stamped today. The bolster is formed by induction heating that part of the stamped-out flat part and squishing it together and only THEN is it drop forged into shape. Besides "stamped out" meaning anything quality related stopped being a thing many years ago.

>>9405539
I keep reading ">his knife costs less than 1000 laughing girls" on the catalog.

But that would be a very odd currency.

>>9405580
I was 35 when I got my first Wusthof knife after using k-mart and cuisinart garbage for my while life. Now I am convinced that every person on the planet should be gifted a quality chef's knife on their 21st birthday, because - holy shit - people just don't know what they're missing when they use cheap knives. I had no idea. I wish someone had told me sooner. My knives are now the one thing in my kitchen I would never give up. You can take my nice spatulas, pots, mixer, stove, etc etc, but keep your damn hands off my knives.

>>9406263

is this the /ck/ equivalent of being a gear queer, where you buy the most expensive stuff for a hobby to appear that you are an expert but you actually suck ass at your hobby?

i'm comfortable saying i would rather an actual chef with a wal mart knife make my food instead of a /ck/ poser.

>>9422587
As an amerilard who reads a lot of british /lit/ that's not a trivial issue. The terms "crown" and "quid" seem like they should be the same, but it also seems like they are different monetary units. I'd like to here a britbongian explanation.

>>9422856
Merilard here, ask me how I know you are reading almost exclusively if not exclusively brit lit published prior to 1914

A friend of mine is a head chef at a fine dining restaurant and he bought a knife for $600. I couldn't fucking believe what the fuck he was telling me.

>>9422205
>doing woman work to impress a woman

>>9406263
>$400 on headphones

I'm really into music but whoever spends $400 on headphones is a fucking cunt.

>>9422935
That's how I feel about people who spend $400 on TVs. Why? Who needs that shit?

$400 headphones though, I can totally understand. I'm trying to talk myself out of a pair of Elears to go with my Focal loudspeakers. They're a bit more than $400 though.

>>9422922
>prior to 1914 brit /lit/ only

No, not true at all. I have to admit not much after the 70's. Christ, don't be stupid. You think I haven't read "Ulysses" published in 1922? Answer my issue with crowns compared to quids, faggot.

>>9422932

Urgh computers were a mistake. I liked it better when postprocessing was only available to darkroom grognards who knew better.

I guess we'll have to see how well it's edge holds

>2017
>still using knives

>>9406518
Looks like a screen shot of a video game.

>>9422495
do you sharpen that with an angle grinder? because that's what the edge looks like. The problem with thos echeap knives is not that hey can't be got sharp (they can) but that most of them are really thick behind the edge. It can be as sharp as a razor and it will still be a pain in the ass to cut some food stuff with it, simply because it is so thick that it wedges in the food. To be fair, plenty of pretty expensive knives have that problem too.

>>9422922
If you know you will be using that knife for eight hours every single fucking days for the next ten years perspectves change. How much do people spend on metallic effect paint for their cars, or forged aluminium rims?

>>9406518
Ken Rockwell, is that you?

>>9425777

>>9426010

Fucking civvies

>>9425943
That IKEA knife is pretty good. Thinner behind the edge than many knives costing several times as much, and a decent profile and weight distribution to boot. Edge retention is also decent. The shape of the handle isn't very important anon, because a knife is properly held in a pinch grip, with the balade pinched between indexfinger and thumb, with only the last three fingers lightly wrapped round the handle. Pretty much any shape and form will suffice for that

>>9422985
True Story. I made the sushi (the knife performed beautifully)

I made 5 types, I was a bit heavy handed with the rice, but I figured it out by the end.

Afterwards I got soo kissed. Then fucked for over an hour. Then again before I left in the morning.

Thanks op for inspiring me to buy a cheap Yamigawa.
