    I like their wheat beers, not a very big fan of everything else though.

    Whoa, that is f'ed up. Apparently they figure people now aren't smart enough to install a standard doorbell.

    Not sharpening, honing It removes no metal. Ceramic knives do have a purpose, just not on a chef's knife. True, it trues the edge. Just more people refer to it as a sharpening steel/ceramic so I just call it that and I don't get funny looks. *Except from you*

    No... Sharpening ceramic. I would never buy a ceramic knife.

    Just bought the 10" Chefs knife from Henckles, ceramic, and some magnets to make a magnetic knife bar.

    What is more comfortable in your hand? You are big enough for a 10" Thats the problem, no one in town has a damn 10" one. I like the 8" one but the more I look at it and play with it, the more I want a 10". Time to buy one off of Amazon I guess. Budget? I'd like to keep it under 175 Then there are a shit load of options. M2 has more recent experience searching, but MAC, Messermeister, Masahiro, Shun, F Dick, Tamahagane should all be available on Amazon. Problem with many recommendations is fit is important. I would shy away from the global, not because they aren't good blades but not unlike myself I think your hands are too big. Great still for slicing, but not standard chopping. I love all of mine except my chef's knife although I still use it a ton. My problem is that I don't know of a good place to buy knives within ~150 miles. The local places have Wusthof and Henckles, of which I learned I do not like the Wusthof handles. Thanks for the guidance Sean.

    For a second I thought you said time to go take the truck to the dump. It really didn't surprise me to read that.

    Can't decide if I want to keep it or buy a 10" instead.

    Just one warning. 15x15 is pretty small...bamboo is also hard on blades. I regularly use it myself, just fyi. Its bigger than what I had, and picked up a Henckels 8" chefs knife.

    I now have a kitchen aid mixer and a 15x15x1.5" bamboo cutting board. Now to go find a real knife.

    Second most important thing to actually having a gun is to know what you are doing with it. Go take some classes, a intro class, talk with intelligent people, and take some actual training classes.
