How about they make a deck board that won’t rot in two seasons?

Was trying not to rant but the Creme Anglaise hit 185 and I have an hour to go deal with it... :-)

Got to fire up the ice cream maker.

Hey, if you’re really lucky you can get yourself some of that Bamboo underwear.
I suspect that steel knives are cheaper than the processed wood.

3 times sharper than steel is meaningless. Does that mean it can be sharpened to a finer edge than a razor blade?

No.

The defining question is how LONG can it hold its edge under normal use. Very likely not long.

These are hucksters going after the moron investor crowd, of which there will be many.

Impressive. “These knives, too, can be used many times if you resurface them, sharpen them, and perform the same regular upkeep.”

Who among us has ever agonized over cutting a steak?

Anyone who has priced a ribeye lately might agonize over a steak.

Well I meant foolproof as related to steaks once you get past the initial learning curve. I’ll throw some rib-eyes in @ 133 for 4 hours. If I take them out @ 4 hours, 5 hours, 6 hours, makes no real difference, as compared to 10 minutes too long on the grill and you have briquettes or shoe leather.

They should make OBD (one button dummy) models. The user would choose/click the picture of the “thing” that is being cooked, and then it does the rest as to temp/time.

LOL...I don’t remember where I heard it, but I do recall someone listing the stupid things adolescent boys do in those 7th grade shop classes...:)

My shop teacher, Mr. Stauffer, put my hand in a wood vise because I had been squishing fountain pen cartridges in it...he didn’t hurt me, but...he tightened it enough to make me wonder for a few seconds! (He really was a great teacher)

It is myth that putting wood in a fire hardens it; it only destroys it. Two decades ago Dr. Kamke came up with a process of putting low density wood into a chamber (bomb) introduce steam and compress it to densify it. There was no need to remove the hemicellulose or lignin. I still have sample from him. While the intent was to use it structural members not knives it was very dense and decay resistant. Cellulose burns easily no matter how dense it is.
