I totally agree with you here... it just always gets me when you do it cause it always seems like it is Boom out of the blue (sort of) I guess I should pay attention to the emails a bit more.... It just seemed like folks were discussing these knives and Boom you went and bought them.. I didn't evn remember seeing you posting about them that was all... Not criticizing mind you it was humorous to me... is all.

It should be although I always end up throwing out wooden cuting boards after awhile even though I clean them and sanitize them, and oil them... they still just get funky.... (Generally takes about 5 years but it always happens...) And yes I use bleach and other types of sanitizers...
BTW don't get me wrong I still prefer wooden cutting boards.... it just seems to me that a wooden handled knife could suffer the same fate....

Ooops I didn't mean the water temperature, I meant the Dry Heat from the Drying Cycle on the Washer...

Actually Nope I mean the dry crunchy pretzles... The steak knives work just like a Saw Blade... Yes you have to be careful... but the work.
