The New Hotness

  • Crysknife Modification

    For whatever reason, the handle of the ceramic knife extended a few millimeters below the blade heel:

    Farberware ceramic knife
    Farberware ceramic knife

    Now it doesn’t:

    Farberware ceramic knife - trimmed handle
    Farberware ceramic knife – trimmed handle

    Which makes it much more usable for the kind of chopping I do around here: the blade hits the cutting board squarely, producing chunks of veggies along its entire length.

    A coarse file removed most of the stub, followed with a fine file and a little sandpaper action to round the edges.

    Amazingly enough, none of that fussing around touched the blade, nor did I gash myself!
