So this thing is pretty amazing for $10.

I mean, the scales are barely sanded and I will need to seal the wood and the spine is unfinished. But its not very flexible and the business edge is businessy. I won't call it scary sharp from the factory but a couple swipes on a ceramic and it will shave arm hair. The edge can use a touch more polishing on a stone.

I am going to sand the handle and seal the scales with wood hardener and use it in the kitchen awhile

Not before we go get some high quality chips from a third world village in the heart of some jungle. That machete will be of great benefit.

How do they hold up being banged on the roll bar of a 97 Toyota pickup?

Probably fine. I mean its probably only 55 Rockwell. Maybe less. Should be tough as nails. Edge retention? Its not VG-10

I am sealing the handle with half stain. And half wood hardener. Should be dry tomorrow, I will post a pic.

Ran it through a fine diamond plate and a soft Arkansas stone to polish up the factory edge correctly. Its rather slicey now

lockdown sourdough… just screwing around with shapes and temps and whatnot. can’t get the crumb right… but the crust and the flavor are spot on.

Salmon cooked in butter in a skillet and my sauce the everyone calls a hollandaise sauce but isn't. It's just a remove salmon from pan, deglaze with white wine, reduce about a cup of cream by half, add a half pound of softened butter, fold in by shaking the pan, not stirring, finish with a splash of lemon juice and fresh herbs

Very nice looking loaf. Fresh starter or one you've been feeding awhile?

The starter is only about 3 months old.

I've been using it every day / every other day now. The flavor kinda comes and goes for whatever reason. I tried to kick it up with a bit of rye, but I think the rye had the opposite effect of making it more "sour".

I'll post a few picks of a kind of a "batard" I made yesterday here in a bit.

Kudos--I can never seem to keep one going more than a month or so (forget to feed it). Have friends with multi-year starters--they seem to get kind of indestructible after awhile.

Yeah... mine isn't there yet, I don't think. But if the lockdown here in Shanghai drags on much longer I will also get kind of indestructible, lol. It's a good time to kind of putz around with something like developing a starter.

Bone-in leg of lamb for Easter #2 yesterday. I often fuck up lamb temp, but this was perfect.
