'Pared back', when used to mean simple/minimal for boring aesthetic considerations, always annoyed me a little to be fair.

It feels like it's gone from meaning something akin to "there's nothing left, I'm hungry now" to something much less visceral

I’m a bit lost here, is the above a typo or is there something about these knives a nasty foreigner like myself cannot hope to understand?
