Greece and Italy would like a word.

Ranch is your culture

That’s what I thought as well, but once that is gone then the knife is without a blade. It’s cutting well right now and I mostly use the centre when cutting anything

Not sure I fully understand. There are only two parts/types of metal, the silverish grey (appears as two colours in the picture) and the dark blade which is the core and held by the outer layer.

If I were to grind more off the dark, there would be no more blade to cut with. So I’m reluctant to shave off more further down. What would be the benefit?

Update: Yes it can be saved, thanks for all the helpful tips. Grinded it down with a waterstone to the lowest point of the dent and rounded it off in the front. It cuts like butter and I’m happy to give it another couple cooks at least.

Love it, thanks for the nerdy deep dive. I appreciate the details.

So I think I did a pretty solid job. Turns out after cleaning there are two layers, the inner part which is the blade and another bit essentially enclosing from both sides. You can see the color changes. With a few tens of passes on the 400 grit I brought the blade down to the lowest dent and then rounded it off. Cuts through veggies like butter and I will keep an eye on additional cracking.

Sharpening should be manageable, even DIY. Getting a blacksmith to forge in a new blade sounds very specialised and pricy, but worth asking around if the sharpening won’t work

This is good advice, cheers!

Thanks, I’ll definitely run it over my waterstone a few thousand times and see the progress. Can’t see the core fr the front but we have some very old school craftspeople around that offer sharpening courses, they will be my escalation point.

They’re great, I have their serrated knives which are amazing

Thanks, this sounds manageable

Thanks! That sounds like a big job for big bucks. I will look into finding a blacksmith to get an idea about details.

Fix: Create another partition from macOS 27, install older macOS version, boot into it and change startup volume back to Asahi

Not like anyone is forced to go. If you have any sense left, boycott this bullshit, the price should make that easier

Democracies aren’t overthrown, they are betrayed. By the conservative, centrist and partially even liberal parties introducing and enforcing policies that give the far-right a head start.

Refugees and immigrants have been politically weaponised for a while now. Governments currently perceived as moderate cooperating with paramilitary fascist organisations is how things were normalised in Germany 1933. We’re loosing our humanity again.

I wish them luck, but it seems despite all the data collection they failed to understand who their customers are. Idgaf about their content, I block and remove it where I can. Instead now we have content that will not convince anyone to cancel their Netflix or HBO to move to them and I have a home server that barely runs anymore because the software is so bloated.

I got this on Black Friday many years ago for ~70 and despite the pass I am slowly moving over to Jellyfin. I really don’t see how they came up with this valuation, seems like a last money squeeze before abandoning ship.

Stop ordering from Amazon

Okay this is better

I recommend rocks next year
