Small Apartment Gym: What to Buy First, Second, and Never
A buying order for training at home in a few square metres, based on two years of moving equipment in and out of a one-bedroom flat.
One Year With Two Kitchen Knives Instead of Six
Two knives replaced a whole block. What I kept, what I gave away, and how I keep them sharp.

The experiment
I packed away everything except a chef knife and a paring knife for a year to see what I actually reached for.
What I learned
- A sharp cheap knife beats a dull expensive one every single time
- The sharpener matters more than the blade steel at this price point
- A wooden board kept the edge noticeably longer than bamboo
Bottom line
Buy two good knives and a simple sharpener instead of a block set. Pricing moves around, so verify it on the listing.
