Do you think she should pick them out because wives are the ones who cook? My brother is actually the cook in this relationship

Does she have a dick or something

Does she have sisters she can set us up with?

If I could only use one knife, it would be a serrated utility knife. Looks like this, can do just about anything serviceably, but is not intimidating or dangerous:

The klinghoffer of cutlery

Wusthof is a good brand, I've used a Wusthof Classic chef's knife. But I couldn't get around with just a serrated knife. They are great for bread and crusty things but not great for precision slicing, chopping, mincing, peeling, paring, or carving meat.

The tip of the knife is not serrated so you can do stuff like garlic and bell peppers if you need to. In a one-knife world, that's the knife I want

Sharpening serrated knives is apparently a pain in the ass

Cooking is for poor people.

god damn right..its why you throw them away and have extras...much like paring knives..$4 each at home goods and then toss them after they let you down..

Jorge · **Posted:** Wed July 12, 2023 1:29 am

What am I a fucking troglodyte? You buy good quality knives and you take care of them. $4 and toss them when they go blunt? Come on man

The grocery store cuts my food for me and puts it in little shrink wrapped packages

Men making the food is very common, but usually the bride cares more about the design and look of what you get, especially at her wedding.

Even if you disagree, then ask them as a couple.
