Thats not actually a lead in to a rant. Its my own stupidity.
I knew that the large majority of my kitchen knives were duller than ideal….but I hadn’t realized how bad they’d gotten.
My inlaws gave us a new Cutco knife for Christmas. And its sharp.
I forgot. And handled it like I would have my usual knives.
Thankfully the cut isn’t any worse than a bad papercut, so I’m fine…..hopefully its a lesson learned! And time to get my knives sharpened…..
Last time I got a new knife, I almost cut the tip of my finger off. I had to go in for stitches because it was still bleeding almost an hour later. It took a couple of years to get most of the feeling back in that tip.
Yep, I let my knives get really dull apparently.
Thankfully this wasn’t anywhere near that bad. But yah, lesson learned!
Oddly enough, I tend to cut myself more with dull knives than sharp ones. But then I am very spoiled. Hubby sharpens all my knives quite often.
The serrated ones are getting a bit dull, because hubby can’t sharpen those. I should send the serrated bread knife and utility knife back to Cutco for a laser sharpening one of these years. Thanks for the reminder.
I’m told that cutting yourself with dull knives is more normal!
