Re: (...)
Hi all. I just received a free preview issue of the magazine, went to the website, and joined the forum. My wife is a great cook but I'm just 'okay' except for a few special recipes so I'm for sure not going to offer much in that area. My real kitchen related specialty is cutlery, especially Japanese, and extreme sharpening. I have never seen this forum software before so I have a bit to learn about posting pictures, etc.

Welcome...never be afraid to jump in and throw in your two cents worth. We don't bite we just taste around here...

I wish you lived closer Buzzard, my knives need a good sharpening and I need to learn.

Nice to meet you and welcome to the forum. Bunch of friendly folks here.
I have to say that is a nice looking knife in your avatar pic! Never seen one like it. Very pretty.

One more thing about me; I'm glad you don't bite because I'm a Marine and I bite back.

So why isn't my avatar showing? Does it require a moderator review?

Aha, my avatar finally showed up.
I'm closer to Minnesota than you think - moved to FL from Wausau, WI ten years ago. My daughter is the assistant compliance director (in charge of athletic scholarships) at the U of M. She lives in Eagan and we're up there often. I also spent all of my pre-teen and teenage summers on the south shore of Big Detroit Lake - Dad was from Moorhead, Mom from Fargo.
The avatar is a Yoshikane 240mm (9.4") Gyuto (J chef's knife).
