In November 1951, Avis's husband, Bernard DeVoto, wrote a piece about kitchen knives for his column "The Easy Chair," in Harper's Magazine. Avis had convinced her husband, a prominent writer and historian, to write about how their American-made stainless steel cutlery might be rust-free but could not hold an edge. Julia read the article and sent Bernard a fan letter-along with two French carbon steel knives. From Chp 25, Entitled, Julia Child the French Chef.
