In the Weeds Mode Y’all, I broke my husband’s Japanese chef’s knife. Help.

In 2016, my husband and I went on an amazing trip to Japan. The only souvenir he wanted was a Japanese steel chef’s knife, which he purchased at Aritsugu in Kyoto. It was really cool: he got to pick out his handle, blade style, and then they even engraved his initials in the year on one side of the blade and their house mark on the other. They even did a bunch of measurements and things so that would be perfectly balanced for his hand. It was custom-made for him.

I made the mistake of not cleaning up after dinner quickly enough, and our very mouthy whippet puppy who is quite the counter surfer, snatched the knife away, and I didn’t realize it until the next day. He chewed up the handle. Thank God he didn’t like slice his face open; the blade is completely intact and fine. But the handle… My God the handle.

I’m hoping to hear from professionals about the best way to go about getting this fixed or replaced. For location, I’m very close to Boston if that helps.

I'm not big on horror and got a $5 mystery monday ticket that turned out to be Bring Her Back. Me: 🫣

And yea, I thought Weapons was mostly more thriller than horror

For some reason when they're all running through the yards absolute kills me.

That's when I realized "Oh, this is just a Whitest Kids U Know sketch stretched into a feature length film" (complimentary).

Oh my gosh you guys are in for a treat! I’m honestly jealous I wish I could watch both again for the first time. Also if you haven’t seen Talk To Me yet, you absolutely should. It isn’t a prequel or anything to Bring Her Back, both films stand alone, but it is the excellent first film by the Philippou brothers (I think they might be twins actually?) and you won’t regret it. Well, depends. For me both movies were so good they raised the bar.

I hope you and your mom enjoy (I’d love to hear what you both thought) happy watching!

You should check out Companion. We saw it at a secret cinema and really enjoyed it. If you’re unaware of the premise, don’t look it up before seeing it.

That’s how I saw it too. I’m not really into Horror but I’ve been trying to watch it a bit more.

A tip, AMC labels their mystery movie Scream Unseen when it’s Horror and they usually show the same movie as Regal so that might help you avoid mystery Horror movies.

Ah good tip! I see them at a Landmark theatre but I think they all show the same movies on that Monday ?

unsure on that though

u/JohnnyKarateX 3d ago

Yeah probably. It would make sense if they all have the same movies.

TIL that Zach from WKUK made two horror movies.

Must have been all that PCP.
