Okay, so my brother-in-law was throwing a BBQ last weekend. Everything was going very nice, we had some thick steaks on the grill, music was going, it was a good time. It was the kind of summer day that you look back on in your old age that just makes you grin.
So my brother in law was carving up some more steaks for the next batch. He was working outside on a table set up next to the grill, and he notices a yellowjacket flying by. It was nearing dusk, so it seemed strange for this fellow to still be out. Well, it must have been a very annoying bug because my brother in law swat at it with the knife he was using. Next thing you know, he had stabbed it right through his arm! A good 3" of an 8" chef knife coming out the other side! The blade slipped right between his radius and his ulna. A little farther forward, and he never would have worried about carpol tunnels again (becasue he would have halfed them.) So we ended up driving him to the ER, but not before getting those meats of the BBQ. Oh, that was delicious.
I suppose the moral of the story is: Throw away your chef knives and buy a nice, safe, santoku.
