Kitchen tools: knives
This is a good site: Just Knives 101. Take a look, for example, at their Japanese knives.
I was once mailing a chef’s knife to The Son, and the postal clerk asked what was in the package. I said, “A knife,” and she got all queasy. God knows what she used in her kitchen to cut things. She even asked someone if it was okay to mail a knife! (I bought it by mail, as I told her, but she was determined that nothing so dangerous as a knife would slip by her.) :sigh:
