This site will give you the confidence to choose and use the knives and other nonelectric sharp tools in your kitchen. It’s also a reference site that you can use as you improve your skills and acquire the tools that will make you a better cook!
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.
An angry word is like striking with a knife.
In a golden sheath a leaden knife.
The fool cuts himself with his own knife.
Criticism should not be querulous and wasting, all knife and root-puller, but guiding, instructive, inspiring.
The rule in carving holds good as to criticism; never cut with a knife what you can cut with a spoon.
