![]() I recently came across this extremely informative blog post on Taiwanese knives. I'm not sure it's been posted here, so I thought I'd show the link. I think the writer's done an amazing job.

I believe the author is named Alex Cheng. I'm with you, it's great to have so much detailed and researched information in one place. Quote:
I completely agree. But it's also useful to keep up with the research of others, particularly if they're not yet members of the forum. |

New users (and some of us old farts, me included) sometimes need a reminder that we DO have a wealth of knowledge already here on the forum, if you use the right keywords in the search function. Adding NEW info and correcting old is of course a primary function of the discussion here. Judicial use of the Search function before posting a query makes this easier to phrase the post and avoids some duplication. |

Not sure if there's ever a way to mitigate that, which is where the older - no, let's say more experienced ![]() |
