    Damascus and High Carbon Steels are not food safe -- aka the Jay Fisher Rabbit Hole

    My only issue, since I don't personally know the guy, is how he qualifies any difference of opinion, understanding, or practice as ignorance. I got no issues with the guy thinking he's right and sticking to his guns about it. But presenting >insert any knife topic< as the one and only best way...

    Damascus and High Carbon Steels are not food safe -- aka the Jay Fisher Rabbit Hole

    Summary: If you don't make knives like him, you're lazy and ignorant. Food safe regulations is a real thing in professional kitchens. And like all other regulations set forth by the government, there is much hand-wringing and bureaucracy involved to find the least common denominator in the...

    Toughness vs. Toughness
