  • You guys actually use a paring knife? I've got 2 and they end up opening packages more than touching food. In the kitchen I think I only ever used one for butterflying prawns.

  • They're great for de-stringing sugarsnaps.

    I need a decent left handed bread knife. My current falling apart one is used for all sorts. Tomato chopping, cutting cheese. Shredding lettuce. Also for cutting bread.

  • All the time.

    This morning:

    • Trimming the top off a fig then quartering
    • slicing a stress cut in the top of a banana so my kids can peel them cleanly without loosing their shit over it not peeling properly or me doing it for them.
    • (Soon) slitting the corner off a coffee packet
  • they end up opening packages more than touching food

    That's probably because they're blunt af from opening packages.

    You're a monster.

  • I only ever use my IKEA paring knife to open packets of meat, my Sabatier was used to pry open a lid and the tip snapped. An IKEA chef's knife does most of the heavy lifting these days. I'm too scared/CBF to use my good knives.

    A few months ago I got home from work one evening and found my precious Damascus Gyuto on the bench next to the remains of a lemon that had been sliced up that morning. The blade was undamaged thankfully.

    CBD oil is great.
