A Global catastrophe

[desperance]

Just to cap a wonderful week*, one of my fancy Global knives clove in twain last night: just sheared between the handle and the blade. I am distressed. And moments later something in my back went sproing! in the most painful way imaginable. I may be stressed and also distressed.

So just now, every moment is a new discovery. I have survived sleeping, including rolling turning inching over; I have survived the shower. Any moment now we'll find out if I can survive the bicycle.


*I speak ironically. My irony is drawn from life.

I'm horrified by your knife story! No one was hurt? Those things are supposed to be super-strong, made all in one piece like that! That is the sort of kitchen accident that can involve many many stitches.

Was it one of the ones with the kind of "pinch" in that spot?

If you were in a sporting (as in, "how well can I play this") frame of mind, at the very least Global should replace that knife and at best they should replace it with several knives.

Back: heating pad or ice, depending. Heating pad much more pleasant, of course. You must have jerked back with shock at seeing a knife so sharp it cut itself in two.

Hee. I think that is indeed exactly what did happen. (and I have sent the shattered knife back to Global, in hopes but without expectation...)
