Fascinating edition of BBC Radio 4's "The Food Programme" about (kitchen) knives. It include a piece about specialist Japanese traditional knife makers who have and apprenticeship of many years and produce knives costing, in one case, £1400 (approx. $2100 if my maths are correct) each and are fine enough and sharp enough to not only peel a tomato very finely but also split the resulting peel into skin and flesh!!
And did you know that high end (VERY high end) bespoke knives are made right- or left-handed?
Someone hand me a millionaire, please.
It also mentioned research which has shown the effect of the development of knives on the development of teeth positions in various cultures including ours.
Worth listening to it on-line if you have time.
