The blades of your kitchen
knives should be used only for food
purposes. If you insist on cutting
paper and string, metal or bone
with them, you dull them quickly.
Never put a good knife blade into
flame, else the steel will lose its
temper and cannot be kept sharp
thereafter. To make knives last,
buy one of the grooved hangers
which permits each knife to hang
all alone in its own partition.
Banging against other metals in a
drawer dulls a knife.
