Caring for your knives

I have one simple rule for caring for knives: if you treat them well, they’ll treat you well. And by treating you well, that means that they’ll last for many years. My primary knives are over 20 years old, and should be going strong for many more years. You can get the same mileage out of yours by paying attention to how you wash, store, and use your knives.

He would not give the devil a knife to cut his throat.	Italian proverb

To engage in conflict, one does not bring a knife that cuts but a needle that sews.	Spanish proverb

To engage in conflict, one does not bring a knife that cuts but a needle that sews.

Sam Snead

If a lot of people gripped a knife and fork the way they do a golf club, they’d starve to death.

Buddha

The tongue like a sharp knife... Kills without drawing blood.
