Forget this thing altogether for slicing thin slices of tobacco. You will end up doing more harm than good. You already have 500 knives.Mr Beardsley wrote: ↑Mon Feb 06, 2023 11:49 am I'm glad I used the search button instead of starting a new topic that would end up being redundant. Has anyone ever used or tried to use an Ulu or similar for cutting tobacco? It seems like the natural cutting motion would be perfect but I think I'd prefer a single edge bevel instead of both sides of the blade being ground. Thoughts? Experiences?

I have one of those, too, given to me by a family member after a trip to Alaska years ago. It never occurred to me to use it for tobacco. Works great for skinning a salmon fillet, though.Ruffinogold wrote: ↑Mon Feb 06, 2023 5:31 pm Ive got one from Alaska . Jennifers mom scored one while there years ago .

Because sometimes the body just wants canned fish.

Opinel knives are nice, and reasonably priced!

I smoke a lot of plug & have found that any cheap pocket knife does the job. Most important thing to have is a good knife sharpener. Opinel #6 is probably the best blade I’ve got for plugs, nice thin slices. All these fancy knives & plug cutters, whilst very nice to look at, are all a bit of an overkill I think.

Not my first choice as a fillet knife, but it was effective when I tried it.Tsal wrote: ↑Tue Feb 07, 2023 5:03 amThat poor salmon filet.
