Kershaw Shun Elite Paring Knife - a second glance

[thombrogan]

So far, I've used my Kershaw Shun Elite Paring Knife either in tandem with a chef's knife or to prep food for a chef's knife. Tonight, I officially went off the deep end and have joined Weird Al Yankovich. db suggested thinly slicing olives for my nachos, but I didn't have any olives or nachos. I did have a banana:

Now the resolution and my poor photography skills won't show all of this, but I made about 200 teeny tiny slices in that there 'nanner. And it didn't take any time at all.

Okay, so what the heck do you do with banana slices which are much thinner than silver dollars? Throw 'em in your crisped rice and pretend you're the world's cheapest guy? Good idea and I wish it had come to me before I fried the banana slices.

It was delicious, possibly nutritious (used the non-stick, low-cal cooking spray, so I'm guestimating no more than 110 kcals of sugar and trace amounts of the other macronutrients), and a stunning example of what I'll do when I've already done the laundry and am waiting for my wife and daughter to return from a little get together.

Thanks, Kershaw/KAI and Thomas W, for a truly inspiring and enabling paring knife! :thumbup:

Updates:

1. Shun Elite paring knife was so sharp it was cutting into the cutting board and slightly sticking.

2. Painful stomach cramps ensued 45 minutes after eating banana. Yeow!
