Bad sounds

I love the sound of carbon steel scraping over the stones. Stainless, even though I prefer it, never has the same sound. GEC's 440C has a particularly great sound and feel (hard to separate them) when snapping closed: buttery smooth to a very satisfying click as the kick bounces off the backspring.
 
There's a TV chef that uses the edge of her knife to scrape the cutting board. Drives me crazy. I can only imagine what the poor guy who has to maintain her knives must go through...
Many of these TV 'chefs' do that and it shows appalling ignorance :thumbsdown: What do they think the spine of the knife is foe? (to admire their image in ....):rolleyes:
 
Coworker - “can I borrow your knife”
Me - “sure”

Clack.

Me “coworker WTF did you just do?”
Coworker - “sorry this pie has a hard crust”

Cutting pecan pie sitting in a glass pie dish

Jack @Jack Black The only way around that is to carry a piece of junk or my way is to answer "why, what do you need to cut?" and then cut it myself.

I do the same Alan, I just say, "What do you want to cut?" Then if it's not something completely stupid, (which it sometimes is), I do it :thumbsup:

I was once in a bar in Barcelona, and a woman asked me if her boyfriend might borrow my knife. When I asked what he wanted it for, it turned out he wanted to use it to clean dog mess off his shoe!! :eek: And no, I did not do it for him! 🤨🤣:thumbsup:
