sharper knives mean better cutting

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-eight years and a million words

Halifax, 2004.05.15

Today I was given a late Christmas gift. It's a knife sharpener.

And it works very, very well. It's one of these. Now my kitchen knives cut food without much actual pressure - almost as if their own weight were enough to do the slicing. I'm pleased.

Though defensive violence will always be a sad necessity in the eyes of men of principle, it would be still more unfortunate if wrongdoers should dominate just men.
