I thought this was cool, for some reason my family lacks knives lol, so i was forced to make a salad with a bread knife, and WOW i found it ALOT easier to slice through a cucumber with a bread knife than a chef knife, maybe because my chef knife is dull? Anyways next time your slicing a cucumber try a bread knife, it cut ultra thin perfect slices for me REALLY fast, lol, ITS SO COOL!
