Chipping on my knife edge

[shao.fu.tzer]

You should "whisk" that boy's head into the wall for being an idiot. Even when I was 9 I had more sense than to do something like that. I'm glad you figured it out at least. However, the only knives I own with edge damage like that are indeed 440 series stainless knives. Coincidence?

Oh for heaven's sake.

Mystery solved.

My 14-year old son saw me working on the knives, trying to sharpen the gouges out, and looked at me funny, so I asked him if he knew something about it. He said yes, one of his buddies had picked them up from my desk, opened them (the Pika and the Grip), and "whisked" them together several times, like you see chefs do. He was really horrified when I showed him the damage.

That explains the damage on the Pika too. Here I was thinking somehow all 440C was bad, or at least the two 440C knives I had were somehow bad, when all along, it was just the moron down the street.

Good grief.

I think not finding a finger on the floor and a few police cars outside when you came home - is the silver lining in this cloud.

Really, in a situation like that, your happy that there was no blood or emergency rooms involved in the equation.
