Sharp things

[Geoffrey S]

Unfortunately I have a tendency to take my aggression out on objects, (used to be people, so my flatmates are lucky) and this time 'round, whilst fuming at the complete lack of any attempt to do any of the housework (to the extent that I am now cleaning up after them) by any of my flatmates, that I was doing some preparation in the kitchen.

You know, funny you should mention that. I was getting so fed up of every inch being taken by filthy washing-up that had been festering for a while now that on monday, to make space, I slung a bunch out of the window onto the grassfield outside. Caused some angry words.

IMHO there's no reason to spend a lot of money on a knife unless you're going to take good care of it, keep it sharp, and use it often. Otherwise simply pick one that feels right in your hand, doesn't cost much, and could be replaced at the drop of a hat. After all, let's face it, even the cheapest brand still cuts.

You could just be like my friend - buy Rambo style knives off the market for 10 quid.

Remarkably durable - we cut down trees and fence posts with it, it was still sharp as hell.

Although there is the slight problem of looking like a complete nutter with one of those things in your kitchen.
