The whole family is going into Manhattan tomorrow to see Three Penny
Opera with Alan Cumming, Cyndi Lauper, Ana Gasteyer and Jim Dale.

I will report back on Mac(k) the Knife.

Oh the shark bites...

So I was visiting Thomas Keller's Web site this morning and on his
links page I found this: http://www.macknife.com/

Anybody out there have experience with Mac knives? Just curious.

I had a set about 30 years ago. I found they were lightweight, not very
well-balanced, didn't hold an edge, and were hard to sharpen.

It's no wonder, they are way too hard, 61 Rockwell on the C scale will
ruin a knife steel... and 57-61 is a very wide range, which means there
is very little care if any in heat treating those blades... they're
actually garbage but with premium prices.

Sheldon

At the time, the sharpening they recommended was to draw the edge across
the bottom of a coffee cup along the unglazed edge. Times have changed
a LOT in 30 years.

It's been an enlightening discussion on knives, but didn't anyone else pick
up on "oh the shark bites"?

Of course, but we judiciously ignored it.

I well remember the china plate (or cup) sharpening instructions. Got
a kick out of it.

Chefs have been using the back of china plates for centuries to sharpen
knives, i still do it to this day at times. it works really well.

And it worked with the MAC, too, as that is what I did. In those days,
I didn't know much about knives, but I had a coffee mug that worked
perfectly.

And thicker restaurant china is likely to have an unglazed inner rim
on the bottom that would work. These days at home, it is not so easy
to find.

My set of MAC knives came with a ceramic stick on a wooden handle for
sharpening. I still have it (and almost all the knives; the "paring" one
broke years ago).

And ol' Lucy Brown ( who was played by a man in the production I saw
yesterday. The entire production was, shall we say.....interesting."

I've had a set and been using them for over 20 years.
