My hands currently have a number of little nicks and cuts.
For 4 years, we had one utility knife and one small bread knife; neither of which were sharpened during that time. It just wasn’t a priority.
However, a we recently purchased a set of stainless steel knives, and it has required me to relearn some good kitchen habits.
A cavalier chopping rhythm has been replaced with a more methodical approach. Lazy attention has been switched out for cautious focus.
When we upgrade the tools we use—in the kitchen, workplace, gym, etc.—we must also get up their learning curves safely. The best tools in the world won’t replace poor technique.
