...a pizza lover who wants something different in the way of a pizza wheel and can't afford one of Peter Martin's super cool, but super expensive custom ones (http://www.customknives.com/PeterMartin91.htm), :eek: and you're also a fan of Star Trek, this (http://www.thinkgeek.com/homeoffice/kitchen/dea2/?cpg=140H) might just be for you. :D

Neither, use a spyder for the job :D Nothing like seeing your blade dripping with cheese and ketchup.

[vampyrewolf]

that star trek one looks tempting... hmm...

[Evil D]

I don't think a pizza exists on Earth that is worthy of a $1000 cutter :D

Ummm, we are talking pizza, some pies probably deserve a $1,000 cutter, I just don't want the $1,000 to come from my pocket. ;)

There's likely pizza worth a flight all the way over to Italy, if not at least Chicago.

Ketchup? What kind of pizza are you eating over there?

[jabba359]

I believe the real question is: how does the Peter Martin pizza cutter edge hold up during rigorous pizza cutting? Would ZDP-189, M4 or CTS-XHP offer superior edge retention over prolonged use? How many extra large, meat lovers pizzas would I be able to cut through before needing to resharpen?;)

I would probably re-profile the edge to 15 degrees inclusive and strop it with some 2400 grit paste for an edge that really cuts through the super-thick crust with extra cheese. Or maybe I'd send it in for a Krein regrind. Is there a pizza-cutter setting on the sharpmaker?:p

My perfect pizza cutter would be Ed Schempp designed, using Taiwan-style carbon fiber on a Ti frame. The wheel would use Damasteel's Hakkapella, with a Spydie-hole of course. It would also be made in Golden, CO USA Earth.

haha that is cool!!!! :D

do you have a link for that..i like it and i am sure it is alot less than $1K.

oh and for the record THE ONLY topping on a pizza should be sausage, maybe extra sauce and/or cheese but THAT IS IT!:p

[vampyrewolf]

thought that was supposed to be all there was on pizza...

sauce (tomato paste, garlic, some oregano) , cheese (fresh mozza) , tomatoes (roma), basil, and sausage of choice (I'm a fan of calabrese)

nice thin crust and it cooks quickly.

Don't know who decided that 2" thick vern's was a good choice.

WAAAAAHAHAHAHAHA!!
And one or two pizza deathwheels...
...Semi-Folding compact concept, Lockback design nesting within Solid Liners beneath Olive or Black G-10 Scales; torx screwed. ;)

Your pizzabladewheelsteel choices ARE:

Work hardening, perpetually stainless H1; FG (but only SE...hah!!) :p
The other one:
4mm thick VG-10 HG/PE;
...Both with five (5) 9/16' Spyderholes circling mid- wheel. :)

Choil / Spine Jimping ahead of the handle...I'm liking this...It could be the original Chinook of all pizza-cutlery!! :D



Bruce / SB :p

[Evil D]

I'll have deep dish with bacon, banana peppers and extra cheese, and don't get carried away with the sauce :D

[v8r]

I'm game as long as it has Polished carbon fiber scales, D2 blade and has a CBL.:D


Sorry guys Supreme is where it's at.No fishies though......

[SkullBouncer]

BTW I just realized no-one local did a plug here for 'Beau-Jo's Original Mountain Pie Pizzeria just 30 minutes up the I-70 canyon from Golden... an' all the Honey you want for those rapidly accumulating giganti-normous pizza crusts. ;)

There's spinoff's, but IMO only ONE REAL DEAL...
...Beau- Jo's in Idaho Springs, Colorado :) :) :)

[sharpguitarist]

hey guys,
i remembered some pizza cutters that were featured in one of the knife mags a few years back, so i googled em. here's what i found.
these were made by a guy named frankie flood, and his inspiration came from classic motorcycles.
