Caring for your knives

I have one simple rule for caring for knives: if you treat them well, they’ll treat you well. And by treating you well, that means that they’ll last for many years. My primary knives are over 20 years old, and should be going strong for many more years. You can get the same mileage out of yours by paying attention to how you wash, store, and use your knives.


As the camel falls to its knees, more knives are drawn.	Bedouin proverb

As the camel falls to its knees, more knives are drawn.


If your mouth turns into a knife, it will cut off your lips.	African proverb

If your mouth turns into a knife, it will cut off your lips.


No matter how sharp it is, a knife will never cut it’s own handle.	Kikuyu proverb

No matter how sharp it is, a knife will never cut it’s own handle.

Langenhoven

God created the world just like a knife and left it up to us to take it by the handle or the blade.

Stanislaw Lem

Is it progress if a cannibal uses a knife and fork?
