Most of my knives are quite dull. 😞
We got a Ronco knife block set we saw on tv late at night years ago.
Pretty inexpensive and still perform great.

When working with a dull knife that doesn't cut well things can go wrong. If the knife is sharp, you only cut what you're aiming at.
right back at ya both, took a long break from here; but back home again.

Originally posted by PhlabibitAlso, if you do cut yourself with a sharp knife, it's a clean cut which bleeds well and heals well. When you cut yourself with a blunt knife, you get a less clean cut, which takes longer to heal and doesn't bleed nicely, so it tends to gum up, and it leaves a scar which itches and aches for weeks.
