The offset makes it easier to use the entire flat of the blade and have it contact the food at a better angle. Also it keeps your knuckles from hitting the food but it has to be a large food before that is a concern



That's a fish knife, this is a butter knife:

The best butter knives are made out of juniper and bought from an outdoors market stall, but you almost never have to because that one knife lasts forever. Foreigners don't even know how to put dish drying cabinets on top of the sink. :colbert:

I bought a real nice wooden cheese knife for my dad a couple of years ago and he started making his own as a hobby until he remembered be was supposed to be rebuilding a classic car. Much like him in not sure where I'm going with this.

Well that seems to be where Japan got it from. It's quite common to have an open rack like that over the sink, especially in apartments with tiny counterspace.

I also have a butter knife... and the margarine tubs have a little notch so you store the butter knife in the tub in the fridge.


This guy's margarine looks just like mine.

you use the butter knife to transfer a pat of butter to your bread plate. you use your table knife to butter each bite of bread.

I can't think of anything to put here.

Underneath is a set of stairs and the drain goes down through them (off to the side). In addition it looks to be open to the upstairs hallway. As a final bonus, I checked on streetview and the window does appear to have line of sight to the parking lot of the bakery next door. I don't know if there is a sink.

BURY ME AS I LIVED, A FREE MAN ON THE CLUTCH

Danhenge posted:

Yeah, there are a number of older houses like this in our area, where they've clearly gone through 2-3 stages of additions plus like turning the attic into a finished space which have turned the whole thing into a weird, cramped labyrinth. I promise that place is like twice as claustrophobic as it looks in the photos.

Our realtor even took us to a place that I explicitly told her we weren't going to buy because I wanted to see it so bad. One master bedroom has a large bathing tub inexplicably set into the wall, in addition to there being an attached master bath and another bathroom down the hall.

When my parents owned a house in Mankato, MN it was really weird. The center part of the house was built in 1865. That was one giant room with what would have originally been 2 small bedrooms to the side. In 1885, someone split one of the rooms put a bathroom in and added a really cock-eyed edition and moved the kitchen in there. That had inside basement access. Full sized basement, dirt floor, low ceilings, really weird access using very unsafe stairs through a trap door.
Then in 1985, someone put another edition on with a dining room and a sitting room. They also added a 3 season porch that was exactly as poorly made as you think.

It was a shotgun house because those were cool at the time and the lot was narrow.

The three season porch was attached to the brick and had no foundation. As such, it pulled part of the 2 layered brick wall apart because of frost heaves. It cost the about $15,000 to fix before they sold it.

It was a ridiculous house with not a single plumb wall or level floor. The main house was nice though. One big room with a nice sitting area divided by furniture.

They're Laguiole Andre Verdier Printemps cutlery. Which is a hell of an impressive sounding name, but the quality is definitely middle of the road.

And a lot of sites want to charge you a LOT of money for them, but you can find often them pretty cheap in Australia. The retailer Harris Scarf has a 24 piece set for $60, while online US sites have the same set for a lot more.

This is the pate/cheese spreader set I got for about $10:

I instinctively recoil from cutlery that looks like that. I want it to be shaped from a single piece of metal, possibly some wood around the tangs for fancy. I've had knives and forks before that looked like that and fell apart after only a few years. Solid stainless steel will last longer than I will live.

There's a bar across the river that has a shorter version of this. It's just wide enough for a fat person (me) and it makes me feel claustrophobia whenever I have to use it.

It looks like those are metal all the way with a handle bolted on to both sides.
