Let me start by saying I will be the first to tell anyone to use their knives, that's what they are made for. However, there are some knives I don't use for certain tasks. That's why I almost always have two knives, just in case I need to cut something acidic or potentially damaging to the steel.
My side job is doing chemistry demos for local schools. One of the experiments I like to show is how sodium and potassium react with water. These are both very corrosive, and I use an old kitchen knife to cut them up for the demo. However, I forgot that knive today.
I thought, no problem. The school will have one in the teachers lounge or somewhere. Wrong.
I normally have an old Emerson in my car, but I took it out over the weekend to clean it and never put it back. So the only knife I had was my pristine 1995 Sebenza.
I used it of course, and decided to take a picture to share.
I just finished a lengthy cleaning/sanding polishing process to bring the ats-34 back to full glory.
I take it as a lesson learned! By the way- the kids really enjoyed the experiment!

In seriousness, that would make me wince too.
