Ika’s new knife in Seminyak Bali
Ika comes from a simple background and preparing her own food is ingrained. I can relate to that and enjoy cooking to. Nowadays I’m just to busy to be bothered, but if I stopped blogging and opened a bead store maybe cooking would come back into the picture.
Ana and Ika sit on the kitchen floor chopping and cutting garlic, vegetables, meat, you name it. The knife they use is a cheap piece of crap, that will break sometime and hurt somebody. Being a lover of cold steel, I decided to invest in a new knife to help then with their daily chores. Recently joining Ace Hardware’s membership club and paying 200,000rp for the year, enables me to get 5% of everything I buy. The knives in Ace are good but expensive, and their block sets suck. But for only buying one knife, I chose an 8 inch chef’s knife for 170,000rp, made in Germany. This baby will by slicing and dicing for years to come.
At home I presented the new weapon and Ika said it looked scary. Trying it out she managed to nick her finger. “You can’t cut towards you with this thing,” I said, “you have to be careful.” Ana also thinks its scary, but when they need to get through something in a hurry they’ll be thanking me.

A colleague at work just bought a Ken Onion knife, a Hawaiian custom (hand made)knife maker. Being used to Henckles and Zwillinge etc. I never gave it much thought. Never heard of Ken Onion before but my colleague brought it in and it totally scared the be jezus out of me. In one smooth stroke it cut an entire 36 page newspaper section like it was a single sheet of paper. The newspaper offered zero resistance. I gingerly put it on the desk and slowly stepped away.

Like Barrie’s comment. That’s what Ika needs to do to get her a diamond. LOL
That is a scary looking knife. I trust myself with it, but not my Indonesian relatives. One of them would be missing fingers by the end of the week.

That thing is a real killer - literally!. Just don’t argue with Ika when she has that in her hand or the crown jewels could be under threat!.
