[Sca-cooks] Another knife question

[Sue Clemenger]

Okay, so now when y'all are talking about "smaller hands" do you mean 
smaller *palms* or *shorter fingers*? or both?  See, I've got stinkin' 
short fingers, but very broad palms (makes it a stone b!tch to find 
gloves and mittens that fit). I'm forever taking the skin from my 
knuckles when I grate something....
