sharper knives mean better cutting

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

Halifax, 2004.05.15

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.

...and when you try to get some, it surely can be hard. There's always trouble waiting, when you leave your own back yard.
