Indeed, along with the continued use of the word "punter" which I always thought to mean someone who places a bet. Perhaps Roops has a Julian Clary fixation.
Do you really feel that a couple of photos of watches, posted during one of my wars with Eddie, is comparable to you sitting on a bench, dressed as a witch whilst flashing your gash to the Internet?
Utter fucking nonsense. There is no proof that the "son of the sky fairy" was hilti-gunned to a cross on some random Friday in March or April. And he certainly did not return from the dead, as all rational people know this to be impossible. Basically it's a load of fucking nonsense, believed in by weak-willed idiots that are incapable of independent thought.
Fuck off.
Just to add - there is some worryingly on-topic and constructive debate going on at the moment. I'm sure either Punkers or the goose raper will be along to dumb it down again soon.
Agreed - they are a cunt to sharpen, but due to the fact we have 14 knives, and that they are used professionally by Mrs A, I've learned the art. I actually quite enjoy it, like Wiz.
The knives I use are Global - Japanese and sharpened at a completed different angle compared to European knives. When sharpening using water stones, a guide must be used (according to Global) as the process actually removes metal. Sharpening like this isn't needed that frequently as steel is so hard that the blade just needs realigning with a ceramic hone every couple of days. As you say, it's very therapeutic and satisfying.
Yes, I too use an angle guide. There's something strangely therapeutic about the sharpening process. Mrs Ape is a chef, so it's my job to keep her knives good and sharp.
Supplimental message to Punkape and Withers: fuck off.
