I want another Tojiro Flash knife for my collection.
In time, I want to replace all of my kitchen knives with Tojiro "Flash". At present, I have the ones which I use most frequently in the kitchen: santoku bōchō, boning knife, and bread knife. Caveat: I have a good paring knife which I use every day, although it's not Tojiro; I am perhaps using it with more gusto and frequency than strictly necessary, as I attempt to render it sufficiently outworn for me to be able to say to myself with convincing innocence: "Oh behold! My paring knife hath outworn its spirit. Get thee another, that it may be paring-valiant." (Or something along those casual lines... so that I will feel justified in getting a Tojiro Flash paring knife.)
But in the meantime, I am being siren-called by the sujiki bōchō (or, alternatively, the 21cm carving knife) and carving fork. Oh, there's some old carving fork in the knife drawer... but it's not one I remember buying. (I suspect it dates back to my pre-taking-cooking-seriously era.)Also, I feel the lack of a really good carving knife. Just two weeks ago, there was a lack of grace in slicing some roast chicken which I'd prepared in my gorgeous Emile Henry chicken roaster.
eBay isn't offering me much of a discount at the moment, not for kitchen items anyway...

(Springyzone, thank you - this wretched lot of ill-health has been plaguing me for some months; I think the latest round of medication is helping.)
