Bah, you haven't lived until you use a brand new life (yes, a life, certainly not a knife - this isn't just ANY ordinary kitchen tool, it's one with a soul! grin ) to slice a lemon when making Fettucine Alfredo w/ Shrimp Scampi and had it slice your finger pretty good. I highly recommend Chicago Cutlery if you want to cut your food quickly, and yourself, even quicker. It healed pretty good though. grin
