Cutting Edge

This is my photo for week #3, "something I use with my hands in my house".

I like cooking, so it seemed appropriate to choose something from my kitchen.

I think this knife is my oldest kitchen utensil. My father bought it for me, together with a sharpening steel, in 1973. This was shortly after WH and I were married. I remember going to Harrod's with Wonderful Husband and my parents on a domestic shopping expedition.

The knife was made in England. I use it often, and it is as good as new. (Wish I could say the same about my hand.)

 

About the photo: I don't cut with my left hand. I don't have a tripod, so I used the timer switch on my camera so that I could hold the camera steady with my right hand.
