Re: OT KBA vs LBA
That is why I keep mine in lie-down knife racks on the kitchen hood. gotta cover them up though to keep the cooking vapors out that inevitably get missed by the extractor. Those things are always the worst possible compromise between noise and efficiency. They usually look as good and hum as loud as a jet on take-off but any vacuum cleaner bolted to the wall would do a better job...

RE: OT KBA vs LBA
Took a life-time to accumulate. Didn't think about it at the time, mostly it just occurred that I had a little spare cash on-hand coinciding with encountering an instrument I wanted. There were a whole lot more I couldn't afford and didn't get. It wasn't until years later I realized I have so many that I can't play them all as frequently as they should be played.

Re: OT KBA vs LBA
I'm *almost* as utilitarian about buying knives as I am about buying camera equipment. ;-) My favorite knife for the past 28 years has been a custom-made boot utility knife I commissioned from a local master when I lived in Santa Cruz. It's been my constant companion whenever I travel and does about 80% of what I need in the kitchen since then. I did a pro bono job photographing ten of his knives for a knife show back then, so he offered me the pick of anything in his catalog. If I bought anything for the kitchen these days, I'd buy a ceramic. :-) On Wed, Aug 25, 2010 at 5:56 AM, eckinator eckina...@gmail.com wrote: Anyone else here suffer from Knife Buying Addiction as well?

Go warm up your cam and scanner, Godders, I wanna see. If I bought anything for the kitchen these days, I'd buy a ceramic. :-) I wouldn't. Nothing like hand forged metal, preferably high carbon and high maintenance. I just can't get utilitarian about it. For function: Gotta try and remember the name of it but I eBayed for my soon to be ex boss a cobalt alloyed pm steel knife with 64° HRC. Next thing he asked my opinion about was a kevlar glove. I offered to take the knife off his hands but he wouldn't. Too bad none has shown up in the bay since. It wasn't pretty in my book but sure went through everything.
