Pizza cutter / pizza wheel

If you make your own pizza, this is a fun tool to have. Yes, it will make you feel like you’re in a real pizza shop. But it’s not a crucial tool to own. You can skip owning a pizza cutter and use your chef’s knife instead to cut your pizza. Neither tool will improve, or detract from, the flavor of your homemade pizza masterpiece.

The mother is she who catches the knife by the blade.	French proverb

The mother is she who catches the knife by the blade.

Gordon Graham

Decision is a sharp knife that cuts or to do anything, never to turn back or to stop until the thing intended was clean and straight; indecision, a dull one that hacks and tears and leaves ragged edges behind it.

Hunter S. Thompson

You can always turn your back on a person, but you can never turn your back on a drug... especially when it’s waving a hunting knife in your eyes.
