The "Ask Nathan a Question" Thread

I’ve never used a good knife as a steak knife, because I feel like a weird and delicate aficionado, cutting food *just so* to keep the edge off the plate.

But I do like the idea of using one of these things for both skinning and eating. A beginning-to-end knife. I’ll still eat like a weirdo, but that’s okay. It won’t be the most awkward thing about Thanksgiving
At home I usually try to use a personal sized wood cutting board for eating meat, when using a good knife. Otherwise, and in restaurants, with my own knife, I will cut very close to the plate and pull the piece off. I did get a weird look from a chef once, when he was making the rounds and noticed I wasn’t using the standard issue very dull serrated knife. I think that he understood when he saw how cleanly my knife sliced through the meat. 😊
