Tom,
Jack has a knife that looks similar to that with a black handle. He calls it his "get out of the kitchen knife". When he waves it around, I get out!
So, that can be your "get out of the kitchen knife". Just use it sparingly!

Actual Tom I can.
I have severe arthritis (recent diagnosis) and I use a similar knife when I have to trim out ribs. The curved tip helps me get leverage if I have to cut through the bone or something I need to cut through. I use the curved end and the back of my hand to press down.
Here's the version I have. And it's called a Butcher Scimitar.

Do you want to know why you might need it for your teaching job or for your cooking?

Probably more for the cooking.
For people that don't know him, Bill is a professional comedy writer and a good friend of mine. He's also a pellethead.

SmokinOkie, sorry to hear about your arthritis. Good to know you're compensating and still Q'n. Thanks for the info on using the curved blade. Gettin' older isn't always fun - but it's better than the alternative.
Tom,
My wife and son are out of town for the weekend leaving me a lot more free time then usual for taking potshots at you. I'm sure things will normalize when they get back and you won't have to worry about the unwarranted attacks on your character (well, you may still have to worry, but there will be fewer).

Hey Bill, it's all good in the hood. Don't use up all your one liners on the weekend - save some for the TV writing. You could write a pretty funny parody of BBQ'ers and our exploits, especially in California.
Last time I tried writing about barbecue, Eddie Murphy called me a racist and we had to make the barbecue contest a gumbo cookoff. It was an episode of "The PJs" called "Natural Born Grillers." Eddie's response was, "So black people are natural born girllers, huh? I'm not gonna record this."
If anyone happens to catch this episode in the future you'll notice that all the gumbo is being cooked on charcoal grills. That's becuase the barbecue models were already being made when Eddie threw out the script.

Bill, I saw that episode. I really enjoyed that show. Did you write for it, then? If so, I want to tell you thanks for making my days a little happier!
I heard that Eddie Murphy went through a lot of heat because some people thought the show presented a racial stereotype.
I thought the characters could have been black or white, and it still would have been a good show. I always liked the way the wife called her husband Goody. I think that was sweet.

Peggy,
I was the Co-Executive Producer on the show as well as one of the writers. I believe I wrote five of the episodes.
Lorretta Devine, who played Thurgood's wife, Muriel, brought a lot of heart to the show. The fact that she loved Thurgood softened his character and allowed us to keep him cranky.
I'm proud of the show (it got me my first Emmy nomination). I think it was very funny but never got a chance because the "suits" were ultimately afraid of the show.

I would use it for cutting watermelon here in Fla.
