that is very pretty. is it copper?
Show threadDiplomjodlerMar 13
It’s just cheap stainless steel with a cheap plastic handle. But it does the job pretty well.

is it actually that beautiful green or are my eyes being betrayed by your dazzling photography skills
Show threadDiplomjodlerMar 13
Well, I did my best.

Looks like skewed white balance to me, that happens very commonly when photographing against a wooden background.

I suspect this is a bit closer to what it actually looks like:

I get it. I have a set of ceramic knives I use almost exclusively for cutting soft flesh vegetables like tomatoes and peppers. And the peppers get cut with a cleaver if I’m cutting pretty much any other thing at the same time, so they’re really just tomato knives.

They’re great for cutting tomatoes, though.

What’s a breakfast roll?
Show threadSpruceBringsteenMar 13
You’d think that, but a breakfast roll is your morning poop
Show threadCodpieceMar 13
And that warrants its own knife?
Show threadTrackinDaKrakenMar 13

Breakfast roll refers to both the food and the after event. Both need their own knife, but some use the same knife, a shared knife, if you will.

If you don’t know the poop knife story, here it is, archived off Reddit:

I could have happily lived out the rest of my life in the ignorance I was accustomed too.

TIL American toilets have a much higher water line than the ones I’m used too. And some people need a poop knife.

No one has a poop knife.

It’s sorta an English breakfast folded into a French baguette. I guess it’s an acquired taste: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breakfast_roll

Yikes! This is an affront to the sacred tradition of Frühstücksbrötchen.

On the one hand, you are right.
On the other hand:

That doesn’t look anything like what they mean by breakfast rolls in Germany. These look much more like it: de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brötchen

They are topped with butter, followed by cheese or minced meat. Or, in the morning, people tend to prefer sweet toppings such as jam or hazelnut nougat spread.

I somehow missed the “German” in the post, sorry. Much better! I am very fond of Deutsche Brötchen <3
Show threadDiplomjodlerMar 13
Of course. This is Germany after all. It’s all laid out in the Frühstücksbrötchenzeiteinteilungsgesetz.

If it’s so dull, get it sharpened.
Show threadramble81Mar 13
Or demote it to poop knife.
Show threadolofMar 13
Demote?
Show threadSkankyMar 13
There it is
Show threadTrackinDaKrakenMar 13
I have that knife. It is a good knife for sandwich making. The serrated edge cuts bread, and the rounded tip makes it good for spreading things that need spreading.

Liberated a steak knife from Outback steakhouse long ago. Similar in design and my favorite sammy accessory.
Show threadPatMar 13
We sometimes use a steak knife (not the big cutting ones, the sharper serrated table knives) for bread rolls. Sweden’s a lawless hellscape compared to you down south.
Show threadDiplomjodlerMar 13
I’m morally appalled.
Show threadLandless2029Mar 13

Hey we do too! No rounded tip though

Show threadGriffusMar 13
Don’t know what a breakfast roll is, but that is a butter knife.
Show threadBenLeManMar 14
Me too but mine have wooden handles. Best kitchen purchase in years.
Show threadDefectusMar 14

I cut mine with this swedish monstrosity. Also good for cutting cake horizontally. Which I think it’s meant for.

Smol knife for scale.

I’m shocked and dismayed at such a wanton display of anarchy.

Anarchy is one of the main pillars in my household.

Is it just me or it looks like Marge’s hair
Show threadBecky (she/they/he)Mar 16
It does
Show threadHanrahanMar 14
when it’s blunt does it go to the toilet as the poop knife?
Show threadhumorlessrepostMar 15
Need a brown one for that, otherwise you have to wash it.
