-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I think the standard is set by Wieland the smith (also known in the UK as Vayland Smith who - as described in the Velents þáttr smiðs, a nordic and Germanic saga - made a bread knife so sharp that it cut through bread, bread board and table like foam. Wieland features also in a different form in Völundarkviða which has been translated into English by Auden, though the bread knife reference seems be absent. I presume if your knife was of that kind, bread crumbs would indeed be of no concern, serrated or not. Peter Adrian Midgley wrote: > Peter von Kaehne wrote: >> Bad choice of bread knife.
