Thank you.

I remember reading a report where geothermal tapping could be linked with incresead sysmic activity. Is this true? And if it is, have advances reduced the problem?

I have one and use it but I use my knives daily and use them well, as I carve my own meat cuts, prepare vegetables, fruits, etc.

For someone that enjoys cooking, I am aware I am lacking on the knives upkeep department. Sharpening by hand always fails me and my only mildly successful atempt involved using a belt sander on a moderate speed to try to emulate a grinding stone.

I’ll have that information in mind the next time I try to sharpen the knives. Last time I tried, I think I made the blades even more blunt then it already were.

Have that information stamped on a blade.

I understood you were referring to regular blades.

My respect for caring for your knives as you do. It’s something I find challenging, to say the least.

I have to look up for those Thai Zebra. Never heard of it before. I usually buy domestic knives (IVO); we still have a few good manufacturers but I don’t know if they export enough to be widespread.

I was once told their knives are not supposed to be sharpened. Or at least at a home setting. I was in a store, so I automatically take every word told to me with an extra grain of salt.

Never done it, but sharpening a serrated blade is not an easy task. Most will just wear down such a blade until rendered unusable and discard it afterwards.

For some reason, unclear even to myself, I have a serious dislike for Victorinox.

There are a few of those in the kitchen (didn’t bought a single one) and I can’t feel comfortable using it; it’s as if it doesn’t quite fit into my hand properly.

But if it that knife does the job for you, good!

The bread on the background, is it homemade or store bought? Looks nice.

I really wish that is true but I seriously doubt it. Although my country made a hard shift into renewables (hydro, wind and solar, more recently) to the point we have had entire days when those sources alone can provide the necessary energy to run the country, while fully deactivating coal centrals and only maintaining on or two gas powered, storage hasn’t been a great concern, unless we count green hydrogen as such, with a plant to be built somewhere in the near future (or not).

But meanwhile, when price of energy enters negative figures, it’s the solar farms that get ordered to shut down operation.
