eGullet Knife Tutorial. Neat stuff!

My favorite line:

"Finally, your knife is not a can opener, a screwdriver, a pry bar, box cutter or hammer. There’s a special place in Hell reserved for people who abuse their knives this way."

I remember reading that tutorial a few years ago. It's one of the better ones on eGullet.

Yah. Boingboing linked to it, so I read it (had some sleeping issues last night). It's really good.

Thank you!! Between this and [livejournal.com profile] aelburr's advice, I now know more than I expected to about knives and knife-sharpening. I'm feeling significantly less intimidated than I was before.

goodness, how sad my life would be without proper box cutter, hammer, screwdriver, pry bar... why would you want to do without?
