There is a rumor out there in the World that sharp knives are dangerous, scary. They are dangerous if used incorrectly but they are also dangerous if they are not sharp enough. There is greater likelihood of the blade slipping and causing damage if the knife you are using does not cut. Furthermore, it causes enormous frustration if knives don’t cut.
I have my favorite knife and if you get used to cutting with a sharp blade it won’t be long before you too have a favorite.
