Knives

This question can only be answered by making a generalization. Assuming that both knives were properly sharpened by the same skilled sharpener, the kitchen knife should be sharper.

This is because a quality kitchen knife will be made of thinner steel, and sharpened to a more acute edge than the pocket knife.

However, with effort and skill, there is no reason that a pocket knife can not be made equally sharp, although you will compromise its 'utility' by giving it such a delicate edge.

You must take into account that different knives have different edge profiles to suite their intended use.

Blade which has different terms for specific areas such as: Spine, ricasso (area behind the cutting edge and directly in front of the bolster), flat (area above edge), edge or grind. (no explanation should be needed)

Handle which is composed of: Handle scales or handle part, tang (where handle attaches), and bolsters (pieces of metal ajoined in front of the handle and/or behind it. )

All the components parts and purpose of the parts as fllow:

1. Blade

The blade is the most important aspect of a utility knife as its strength and size will dictate what the knife can be used for.

2. Handle

The handle of the utility knife will differ in style and material depending on the type of knife that you are using. The basic varieties such as the small utility knife and the breakaway blade will often have a plastic handle or casing.

3. Fastener

Having the ability to change the blade on a Stanley knife means that it requires a fastener to take the handle apart when necessary.

Tried myself to get my made in USA schrade fixed from Taylor , the new owner of schrade. They told me no way. but would trade me my Made in USA knife for there cheap chinese junk they sell as schrade. No self respecting American should carry the junk they are pedalling. I'll never buy anything from these people, TOTAL JUNK, AS WELL AS HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE.

I think you may mean a knife with a blood groove, as I am not familiar with anything called a blood gage knife. A blood groove is the colloquial name for the hollowed out strip on some knives. You can see it on the KA-BAR USMC fighting knife, for instance. The proper term for that strip is a fuller. Some people call it a blood groove because they think it is to help drain blood away from the tip of the knife when it is used in combat. Really, a fuller just takes some weight away from a heavy knife without reducing the strength of the blade.

some believe it was Jack the Ripper... However that was superstition if ive ever heard one. There was no real "JACK." However Dr's have killed more ppl with scalpels of time. The answer you are looking for is The Green River killer. For myth fanatics it would have to be Samson of the bible. He used a sharpened donkeys jawbone. I suggest you dont "play" with knives though.... you just might bleed out!

It is called aichmophobia.
Xyrophobia.

The possessive of all English plural nouns ending in -s is formed by adding an apostrophe: knives'

It depends how many karots it is.

{| |- | The knife is the Tanto. There are numerous techniques to use with this weapon. There are many of them that are done with the knife still in the sheath, as the damp climate often caused the wooden guard to swell. In addition to the standard slash and stab, with the case still on, a great deal of submission techniques can be done. |}

The answer is gold can be used for making tools like hammers and knives but pure gold is so soft that you would be far more likely to bend a gold knife than cut with it. But the real issue is cost. A twenty twenty ounce hammer would be worth more than 16,000 US dollars

The Subtle Knife movie was pencilled in for release in late 2009, but has now been put on hold indefinitely due to low box office results in the US and the recession.

Unless you are an active duty KGB officer, forget about it. these weapons are positively illegal in the USA. They combine the powers of a strong double edge knife with a firearm assisted launch. A direct hit in the Breast would probably kill on the spot. They ae against the law. they use a Blank 5.56mm ( that"s .22 to you) cartridge. Here is a case of a blank being deadly live!

im i dont care so put a sock in it

In general the following trio covers pretty much 99% of common cutting tasks:

1) Chef's knife or its Japanese cousin Gyuto, come in various length 6-12". Length preference depends on the user.

2) 3-4" long paring knife, for small delicate items, peeling and paring.

3) 8-12" long serrated bread knife. Obviously it works well for bread, but also works for other types of cuts, but will not work well for thin, fine cuts due to the serrated edge.

In general, culinary schools do give some advise what types of knives you will be required or needing.

Word of caution, at least in some culinary schools occasional theft is an issue, hence carrying expensive cutlery or other equipment is not desirable, or at least make sure you have the way to secure them.
