[ID: A photograph of my ceramic utility knife, lying on a wooden board; the knife’s blade has a huge chunk torn out of it, and the chunk of the blade is sitting next to the knife on the board. This feels safe.]

COWBOY BOOT BUTTER KNIFE | LISTING

[hyydraworks]

Inktober Day 1!

My favorite time of year has begun, spooky movies and drawing! Doing it a bit differently this year and not remotely holding myself to prompts. These guys are all goodies I picked up from the Common Ground Country Fair. Four of them are from incredibly talented makers, and if you go to my instagram I link their bios in this photo (The succulent I got and put in an old mug of mine hehe).

Also promise to have a hard date for an Oct. Etsy update soon!

for reference our parents keep a knife in the glove box for cutting up fruit in the car. My brother just forgot about that fact at that moment in time.

Happy Stabby Day!

These are my knives :)

Chef knives

Features: My favorite darlings, and honestly the ones I wanted to talk about. These are Zwilling Pro, 38417-180 and 38401-180, and it makes me happy they are from Zwilling because they are twins. On the right is a standard chopping chef knife. Note the deep base after the handle, straight belly, and pointed tip in case you need any sharp stabbing motion - though if you're doing much of that, you want another knife. It has a gorgeous heavy chopping sound as you work through an onion, or even a butternut squash.

On the left is my beautiful freaky nerd of a chef knife. It can in principle do anything the chef knife can do, but it's really made for mincing. Note the rounded belly and strange angle at the tip - the belly makes it rock on the cutting board, just a bit, so it's perfect for things like mincing garlic, and the tip changes the weight and makes it readily identifiable. I adore this knife.

Lesson: Learn whether you are a chopper or a slicer in the kitchen, and choose your knives accordingly.

Would I Take it to the Senate in 44 BC: Not a chance. These are made for chopping on a cutting board, and they would not stab in a satisfying fashion.

Hyacinths knife

Features: Wide girth, nearly straight blade, excellent weight if you want to julienne vegetables which Hyacinth frequently does, and the key feature: the rounded bottom edge at the 'point', which allows him to scoop. The slight rounding on the blade allows rocking similar to my twins, but the overall flatness allows him to chop big things in a straight motion whereas mine can only chop. He's also a big fan of the width of the blade for scooping finished products and carrying them on the top.

His actual favorite is a really terrible older knife his grandma gave him, same shape bit a wider yet blade and a more exaggerated rounded end, which doesn't keep its sharpness and the handle keeps falling off.

Lesson: Fancy nice knives keep their edge better.

Would I Take it to the Senate in 44 BC: No It doesn't have anything like a stabbing point. Unless you want to chop Caesar up after stabbing him, this is not the right tool.

Meat knives

Features: Long, narrow blades slice better. If you're a slicer, you want a chef knife that is closer to this shape. I abandon my beloved knives for these fellows when I'm turning large pieces of meat into bite-size chunks, especially if it's chicken. Slicers move better through meat than choppers, and the sharp point helps you get that initial grip.

Honestly I'm not actually a knife person and I don't know what the difference between these shapes is. Chime in if you know!

Lesson: Slicers work better for meat.

Would I Take it to the Senate in 44 BC: This would be my knife of choice if concealment were not an object. Nice sharp point, fine slicing blade, works great on meat - my only concern would be if the violence and stabbing would damage a long blade, or even break it.

Paring knives

Features: Short flat blades for a lot of easy control and leverage. These are fruit-and-cheese knives, where you can hold the object and the knife in your hands and work with them without a surface. Or with one! Detail work, peeling an apple... they also are just smaller and seem easier to clean, so I pull them out for small tasks. (The black one is a Wüsthof we've had since I was a child, and dirty from cutting cheese.)

For a tomato, mind, you'll want either a very sharp knife, or a serrated knife. Cheap bread knife does wonders on that slippy tomato skin.

Lesson: Short knives give more control and enable airborne cutting

Would I Take it to the Senate in 44 BC: Absolutely, if concealment were an issue. Almost all of the advantages of the meat knives above, with much reduced power, but very easy to hide up a sleeve. You could even let it be visible if you're carrying, say, an apple - there's a presumable use here.

Swiss army knife Patrick's dad gave me

Features: ...everything? Downsides: nothing works perfectly. But it's got short blade, long blade, saw blade, tin opener, bottle opener, wine opener, tweezers (barely visible, with the gray hilt by the toothpick), toothpick, fishing? hook?, scissors... If there's more I just haven't found it yet.

Lesson: If you lose your pocket knives constantly, you are allowed to get another one. Knives pass into our lives and out of them - in the case of Julius Caesar, sometimes very rapidly.

Would I Take it to the Senate in 44 BC: I'd have it on me already in case the occasion arose!
