I seldom ever go to thrift stores anymore because they now charge $5 for a used T-shirt.
But I needed knives that I could destroy so I could make a knife sharpening jig. Before finding any knives I found this for a dollar less than a T-shirt. I make pizza every week. This is going to make that 7% easier. Hopefully another project will go according to plan and this will make it 90% easier.
Anyway, I needed this. I was thinking I was going to have to make one but now I get to skip that.
I must say it’s got a certain, satisfying ‘medieval heft,’ too. (the one I have has a ~14" square head, damn)
Probably a quarter of the tools I’ve collected over the years I rarely use, but they’re so well-made, look & feel great in the hand that I keep 'em around. My peel is kind of an honorary member of that crew.
