Why the Table Knife Was Rounded.
 Table knives until the seventeenth century always had sharply pointed blades, a natural survival from the days when knife was at once a dag ger, hunting knife and table knife and fork combined. The rounded end was introduced from France. It happened that Cardinal Richelieu was compelled to entertain at his table Chancellor Seguier, man of rude manners, who at the close of the meal proceeded to use his knife as a toothpick. This so upset the cardinal that he ordered the end of every knife in his possession to be rounded, and so great was Riche- Heu's influence that the fashion was adopted all over the country.
