@evan when preparing food? it can be really helpful. when eating it? not at all.
two different meanings for "right", there.
@evan
High. Plastic knives exist and are useless against a steak.
@evan I voted low, but I'm a noted wrong knife user.
@evan I love my Lee Valley peasant’s knife. It goes camping with us and anywhere we’re going to cook (and aren’t flying too). I also have a good bread knife that changed my life.
@evan I'm left-handed. I hate it when only right-handed knives are available.
@evan
For eating dinner? Low.
For doing surgery? Highest.
@troublewithwords what did you answer?
@evan I'm hungry, so I voted low.
@evan Before you answer this poll, think of this scenario:
You have a steak, or day-old sourdough in front of you and you only have a butter knife
Depends on the situation.
Certainly those who answer "low" do not do a lot of knife fights - that's a situation where using a butter knife is probably sub-par !
Thanks to everyone who responded! I think using the right knife is important for preparing and eating your food well, for your safety, as well as for all the other reasons you use a knife. I'm going with High.
