I tried to cut through a piece of meat with a butter knife...

[MORIMOTOM]

Why would you want a sharp butter knife? One of the functions of the butter knife is to spread. I've always seen the butter knife as a table spatula. If I need to cut something, I'll get a sharp knife; if I need to spread butter (who'd a thunk it), I'll get a butter knife.

Not all knives need to be sharp to function.

who let this guy in???

The steel used in butter knives generally doesn't even harden because of composition. I sharpened one somewhat, but it was a lousy edge, shaves somewhat but it's just too soft.

you can shave with a butter knife, but can you butter with a schick?

I think a sharp knife would work just fine for spreading. Why not have a knife that is good at both tasks?

i cut my steak with benchmades

but not at resaurants

 

[MORIMOTOM]

things to do this weekend:

1. sharpen a butter knife to shave with.
2. sharpen a spatula to cut steak with.
3. sharpen a steak knife to baton through a cinder block.

dont blame the heat treat if you cant sharpen one.

can't blame what isn't there. Sharpening is no problem, but a waste of time.

X2, I don't eat butter, but I do use margarine and it spreads fine with my EDC knives.

I'd like to know where I can get a good tactical butter knife.

Buy a butter knife from Woolies and paint it black .

Yes, but how do I put the blood grooves in it?

Here, I did some photochopping:

And no, butter knife doesn't need sharpening. That is just stupid, I have other knives for cutting meat and other harder stuff at kitchen.

 

[chipped]

There was a thread a bit back that coined the phrase "butter paddle." They're more like spatulas than knives really.

Nah, just use a Sharpie.

AND I won't allow margarine in the house. It was invented to fatten up turkeys and it killed the turkeys, only unsalted butter here.

BUT each to his own.... I have used my EDC in restaurants to cut meat.

 

[neeman]

Am I abusing a butter knife if I spread margarine?

How long after the Tactical Butter knifes come out before China makes a copy and when youopen the box it says "PARKAY"

 

[hardheart]

actually, a knifemaker did make some tacticool butter knives. He bead blasted them, sharpened, and ground a pointy tip. This was a while back... might have been Tanquay?

I'm of the mind that if I can't cut it with my butter knife then it's not worth eating! :jerkit:

You'll like nursing home food then.

A steak can be good and still need a steak knife to cut it. We all can't eat fillet mignon or kobe although I do most of the time. Some of the best beef I've had I bought in Minnesota but then Hormel buys in Iowa.

I bought four of the Buck steak knives and highly recommend them. They cut through a steak like butter.
