New Cutting Board and Handmade Knives

[Lookn4u]

Went to the Tulsa Arms show, as I do twice a year, and all I got was this cutting board and knife set. Cutting board is one solid piece of mesquite and the knifes are hand made from spring steel. Family operation out of Mission Texas. Cutting board is over 3 inches think and comes in at just over 40 lbs. It is pushed against the back of the counter and overhangs the front a few inches. Knives feel great have a good balance to them, can't wait to try them out.

Check out the BoosBlock cutting board, made 25 miles from my house. You will see them on cooking tv shows all the time.

I still prefer high carbon steel to most stainless. Holds an edge better.
I just got out and old Dexter that has been handed down through generations and deboned a Pork Shoulder with it.
Worked as well as it did when Dad used it when I was a little shaver.
Still takes and holds it's edge. ;)

High carbon steel, very high yield strength. Use for automotive leaf springs, hince, the generic name "spring steel" They feel like you could fell a tree with them.

I agree, SonnyE, I've still got a few left from my dad's store!

Nice set up! I prefer carbon steel over stainless as well. But I keep them separated from the others. People just don't understand about not putting them in the dishwasher!

I have learned that I have to have personal knives hid from everyone else lol. Can’t tell you how many times I found knives in the dishwasher or laying wet in the sink. All my knives now live in my desk in my office!
