Checking in. A meal to honor my dad’s 91st birthday. He is vacationing in Tennessee with his gf. Go, Dad.

A near-prime ribeye , a batch of cheese sauce that did not get lumpy, and my sole bottle of the titanic ‘86 Mouton. Even though this specimen has been through my uneven storage conditions, it drank wonderfully. I tasted that Pauillac cedar quality among black fruit, vanilla and a hint of forest floor in the summer.

Depending on your knives, I recommend a combination waterstone with grits of 400 and 1000. European and American steel does not benefit from higher grits, but Japanese blades do well with a 3000 or 5000 stone.

Good brands are Shapton, Suehiro and Naniwa. A steel for Euro blades, a strop for harder steels and a way to flatten your stones makes a complete kit.

I would avoid the Chinese cheapies from Amazon.

Most were Wusthof trident a couple were Henckels, & one , I believe was a Joyce Chen sushi blade. None are close to a good Japanese blade.
I use a cheap steel. I need to go through my camping gear, the only stone I have.
