my stepdad was surgical with one of these. so far, i'm not my stepdad. i havent cut myself yet, but i have come close.
he bought a few of these when he visited Taipei. i found the last unused one on my latest visit and my mom stuffed it into my suitcase as a surprise. thankfully, i checked the bag. i would have been a TSA agent's wet-dream.
anyways, i took it, honed it and put it to use. it is effen huge feeling, but dang..the veggies hate it. sheer weight damn near pushes it thru. it is like a big 9x4 straight razor. i'm worried about turkey carving..but i'm all in.
