Two MAC Knives |
A knife needs to be thin and sharp to be able to cut like we like — but the thinner and sharper a knife is the more fragile the knife is.
Everyone has seen pictures of artists sculpting marble using chisels and hammers, and everyone has seen someone shaving.
A chisel is a strong thick instrument with a relatively blunt edge, a razor is a very thin instrument with a sharp edge. A razor — designed for cutting hair would not stand a chance used on stone, and a chisel would most likely make a fine mess of a nice, ripe tomato.
My point is to use knives properly. A fine, sharp knife can not be used to beat on hard substances such as frozen foods, bones and such.
A sharp knife is a joy to use — so protect the edge. Sharp is fragile. Use the right tool for the right job — using your knives properly will keep them sharp and cutting beautifully for a long time.
