/ck/ - Food & Cooking

...Because the only motion you can make with a knife is a stab?

what is this shit???

fuck off, progun

Gonna open up a shop in Britain and corner the market on pointed sticks. They're sure to be a hot commodity soon.

UK confirmed for biggest nanny state ever.

North Koreans probably have more freedoms.

You don't cook with a knife. You prep food with it.

Dumb fuck.

didn't you know? knives are the only sharp things that can be used to stab someone

didn't you also know it is impossible to sharpen a knife to a point without the use of super expensive and difficult to use heavy machinery?
ha, what do you think you can just sharpen a blade by scraping it against a rock or something? fool

>>4429683
What ever? Cook, prep, what would the drawbacks be?

>>4429717
Looking like a dumbass and not actually doing anything to solve the supposed "knife crime issue". If it's anything like the US, it's mostly false flags to get the public going for legislation to remove the ability for citizens to protect themselves.

See Sandy Hook, Columbine, all the other similar incidents.

>>4429717
You need a maneuverable tip for paring work is the most obvious, also if you're doing delicate fillet work on fish (where you're sliding the tip through the flesh without going all the way) or want razor-thin vegetables (where you'll often draw-slice at a steep angle) that bulge is really going to get in the way.

But that's the technical side of it and this is a troll thread so... I don't know why I bothered.

>>4429741
you say this like british people care about eating good food

>>4429741
That's all I wanted to know, thank you.

Stop paying your property taxes and tell me how long you own it.

Sandy Hook might've been a false flag but Columbine was real. There were pictures and videos of the assailants in the act.

British people confirmed for Kindergarteners.

>>4429865
paying taxes on something is not quite the same as renting it. Brits don't own shit, it all belongs to that dried up old prune of a queen.

>>4429522
This looks like a nice safety feature. Everyone wears nice thick leather shoes in the kitchen to protect feet from falling knives. This will also help reduce the risk of falling knife accidents.

>>4430850
Wrong.

>>4430281
>Britian 2019
Replace all knives with scissors, scissors replaced with safety scissors, forks are replaced by sporks, sporks banned, chopsticks and spoons for everyone

>>4429522
OP, yes of course you can cook with a "stab proof" knife. Cleavers/choppers have no point but work very well as general-purpose knives for the kitchen if you're accustomed to them.

As far as the safety of these knives goes for preventing stabbing, they're bloody idiotic. Even if the tip were made fully rounded (better than the shite idea they came up with) some enterprising chav could sharpen it or grind it to a point on the pavement outside their council house in a few minutes FFS!

>>4429549
My first thought precisely - just slash someone instead, like duh.

>>4430850
Incorrect. You need to research UK laws on freehold. Unless you like spouting ignorant, ill-informed crap?

>>4430875
>cleaver
>general-purpose knife

wat

>>4429555
Hahaha, faggot
Your anus will never return to normal after that long hard rod of FACTS

Look, you don't NEED an assault knife to prepare food.

>britain goes to increasingly draconian length to prevent access to the means to commit crimes instead of doing anything to tackle the question of why people are committing crimes to begin with

Fucking typical. Treat the symptoms (and damn things like treating people like adults in the process) not the problems.

The British can barely chew foods due to the fact that they barely have any teeth left in their heads.

>grab pliers
>snap/break the round tip off

do the brits have scrapyard inspectors to check for pointy bits of scrap?

>>4436620
I think there is surveillance cameras in all their homes.

I guarantee I could stab any one of you weird fuckers to death with one of those.

When preparing baked potatoes for the oven, I stab them with a small, stabby knife.

Those "stab-proof" knives would be unfit for use in my kitchen.

>>4436743
I wanna see UK paring knives...

>>4436743

You could always use a fork, which would do a better job anyway.

I work few days a week on a mental health society's kitchen and every knife be it small or big has had it's point cut off. They make me little irritatated sometimes when i have to open packages or poke holes in to something'n shit.

Then again it's mental health society, though everyone i've seen there are more or less sane. They are just bored, unemployed and not as social as modern culture expects people to be.

>>4429522
It's kinda absurd for fighting street crime. It would work against domestic violence though. As alot of those cases are done on the spur of moment by just grapping a knife that happens to be handy.

>>4429549
Slashing something to death with anything smaller than a machete is actually a quite hard thing to do, presuming the target is attempting to excape or fight back. Unless you get lucky and score an artery.
(in timely manner atleast, person would probably die from bloodloss/infection/blood poisoning if proper care is denied.)

>UK bans guns
>knife crime rises
>UK bans knives
>???

look at how retarded this shit is

just let people have guns again and watch the crime rates plummet.

>>4429522
>mfw all pointy things will be banned and we're all regulated to a nerf-whiffle-life.

You can still slice and cut with. DERP

>>4438335
How do you properly prepare strawberries? I need the tip to carve in just around the leafy bits...

if you stupid ass fucks would look at the article,

the knife CLEARLY still has a tip - that would be what you do all your faggy ass needs-a-tip shit with, fuckwads. it's just not pronounced enough to let you STAB SOMEONE WITH IT.

>also, article is from 2009
>2/10 since I responded

>>4438349
It's not like this is the first thread about it.

>>4429793
Someone's mad. Keep talking shit while you post on an American run site you poor hypocrite.

>>4430868
Way a terrific and well thought out argument.

Wow you Brit bongs are idiots.

The UK is embarrassing.

There's no point in using a dull knife.
Well done steaks maybe, but not tomatoes or potatoes.

>>4429683

Sperg harder

>>4429661
ill open up a competing shop where i show clients how to make their own pointed sticks with their point-less knives

>>4440756
>that will break the rules

It should be "who." Who would've thought tripfags are idiots.

>>4429522

Did you really need to start this thread again? And not even bother to find a new picture?

This obviously has nothing to do with food or cooking, and is just a thinly veiled attempt to start a bullshit gun control argument that is better left to somewhere like /b/.

>buy stap proof knife
>use it to carve a knife out of wood/stronger plastic
>stab people

>>4442836
>implying this isn't the same thread

I keep my cooking knife rack on my nightstand next to my .45 in case of a break in or dispute. Its sort of like a second shield. In case of emergency I can grab both my pistol and my meat slicer for close combat. If for some reason my pistol is knocked from my hand or we get into an intimate tangle I have the knife for subduing my opponent.

>>4443282

It's not.

>>4442836
>being this upset because your country is a joke

>WTF you can just slash people
slashing, especially with a knife, is not particularly effective for killing. stabbing is a far more catastrophic injury and more likely to result in death.
In a knife fight, slashing is about controlling position, and stabbing is how you kill a man.

You can't really prevent injury completely like this, but you can reduce fatalities, which is pretty reasonable.
I don't know about mandating use of these blunt ends, but it isn't as stupid as you're making it out to be.

Thread officially political tool ->/? thread now.

Nothing related to actual cooking can be discussed here. It's about hellfire and purgatory now.

>>4443423
It's cooking related, I'm going to bump this thread every day just for you.

>>4443438
And It's fine! As long as you keep it focused on cooking. and not politics. like the topic.

>>4443474
Kitchen knives aren't cooking related?

>>4429549
People will just use axes, hatchets or meat cleavers like in China. Anything can be used as a weapon. The weapons aren't the problem the violent people are. The UK is full fucking potato if they think banning objects will stop violent crime.

Anyone who kills a cop or political official in England has my support. There, I said it. Too much of Europe has become fascist as fuck and their "citizens" have no real rights. I'm ashamed anyone bothers to speak with them anymore.

I can't wait for Gordon Ramsay to blow a gasket over this.

>>4438322
Maybe they should teach people to not commit crime, much like it's been proposed to teach men not to rape. I don't see how this could possibly not work...

Oh Britain, you're an embarrassment.

What was it they said in Dune? Killing with the point was inelegant or something, and the edge was the mark of a true swordsman? Am I remembering this correclty?

.....the knife can still slash....this is stupid

While we're talking about knives, I've got a problem with one I got as a B-day present a few weeks ago. It's very sharp and handy and all that, but... the handle smells like piss. Like, really strongly. I googled "knife handle smells like urine", and literally the first hit was the Amazon review page for the knife. Apparently the wood used just naturally smells like that. Is there anything I can do to remove the smell without damaging the handle? It's a damn good knife, but I just don't want to use it because my hand will reek for the rest of the day.

>>4446876
hahahah
that's a new one on me
if it's a new knife, I would contact victorinox first of all
ask them if anyone else has reported a similar issue
if there's anything in their manufacturing process that could lead to that
if it's a used knife, I would probably sand the handle down, see if it's a surface smell
if sanding doesn't cut it, you would have to soak it in something, like vinegar or baking soda solution to alter the pH to kill off bacteria, or in some kind of odor eliminating enzyme solution, and I would rather not have that near my foodstuffs either, and soaking it in anything will most likely swell the wood, probably crack it, if not then, possibly when drying, so yeah, it's all last resort stuff anyway
you could look into getting the handle replaced, but the only people I personally know who do that are into expensive luxury custom stuff, not so much the utilitarian side of it

>>4446876
i dont know what you use to get rid of tree piss, but for animal pee you'd use something like a peroxide/vinegar/soap mix and then rub in some baking soda. if the base in the baking soda doesnt work try something acidic- (ie. lemon juice)
let the handle soak in the mixture for a day or so if you can.
good luck buddy

>>4446799
shouldn't be doing this to dads

With enough force, anything can kill. So lets just ban screwdrivers as we're at it. Hammers, spades, cricket bats, rounders bats, golf bats, frying pans, sauce pans spoons, forks, sporks... fuck anything hard that you can hit a person with enough will kill them.
