Knife gift

Miyakoya knife

Although it’s said that giving a knife as a gift severs a friendship, that didn’t stop Jim from presenting me with this one last night. (If I give him a coin as “payment” for the knife, that should hold off the bad luck and we can remain friends.)

I’ve often admired his collection of beautiful, antique Japanese steel knives and I love to help make dinner in his kitchen just so I get to use them. My knife is new, flat tipped, double bevelled along its 7 inch blade, and ever-so-slightly curved for chopping vegetables. It has a good weight and balance. I’m looking forward to wearing in the handle and gently reshaping the blade to my stroke as I use it.

Thank you, Jim.

Nice blade! I’m sure you’re looking forward to using it for making lots of great recipes.

its sad to note that some friendships are severed without the gift of a knife.
If only everything was as simple as this platitude…
