No, really.

I have a backpack full of knives.

It's been a little over a year, so it was time to take my knives in to cooking, etc... for sharpening. The Perfect Edge guy comes by every second Wednesday, so I dropped of the knives yesterday on the way to work, and picked up freshly sharpened knives today on the way to work.

$10.80 complete for three knives. That's a pretty reasonable annual expense, and a lot better than dull knives or time wasted fiddling to sharpen a knife perfectly.

Last night (while the knives were out for sharpening) I had to go back to using the big old bone cleaver as my primary (well, only) knife. When it was the only good knife I had, it was great. Now that I've got other knives, its shortcomings for general use are a lot more obvious.

Of course, I'm also hitting the "I could use a few more knives... once the kitchen is cleaned up again" stage.

Plans for the future?

Global GF-33 forged chef's knife. The Santoku I've got is a good all-around knife for most things. I'm not sure I really need this, but it's really tempting.
Global 2-piece Japanese knife set. I'm not so sure I need this either, but I like the feel of a cleaver blade, and the vegetable cleaver is much thinner and lighter than the old bone cleaver, useful for more things. The "deba" style mini-prep knife looks like it offers a few useful options.
Global G-21 flexible boning knife. I can use the paring knife to bone out cuts of meat, but it's not the best tool.

So I found "The Go-Go Boys" 1996 debut album Gay Apparel: X-mas Songs

(I wasn't going to bother with a link, but I found www.thegogoboys.com, not that it's got anything useful)

Oy vey.

It's raunchy.

That's about all it's got going for it.

It's not utterly without charm. It's not without its clever moments.

But it feels like it was already dated in 1996. It lacks art.
