Hi Going to Tokyo and Kyoto on Sat for 10 days and just thought you experts out there might know the answers to a few questions! (background.. lived worked in Tokyo and Kyoto about 20 yrs ag...

Are micro-serrations necessary on the blades of a food processor? Should I be using a micro-serrated blade for some vegetables and a plan sharp blade for others? I'm looking to dice, julienne, chop...

I've had my first "real" knife for almost a year now. It's an 8" classic wusthof chef's knife. I've gotten fairly handy with it, and I'm fairly certain I'm good at honing it and am doing so correct...
