For those trying to figure out why AndyC posted what he did, the offending "thread necromancer" post has been moved to the Moderator's forum. Not only did it bring a four-year-old thread back to life for absolutely no reason, it contained a commercial link in the signature line.

This really irks me. Since when did a steak knife become a weapon first and an eating utensil second? A sharpened pencil can be used as a stabbing weapon too. Does this mean that it's use as a writing instrument is it's "secondary" function?

Well, I'm not too worried on a personal level. Three years ago I got my KCL: Kitchen Cutlery License. I am allowed to transport cutlery--even up to a 12" Santoku--to and from a federally-licensed cutlery dealer (FCL), and to store and use cutlery inside my home. I can even store cutlery in an openly-visible location, and have one of those wall-mountable magnet bars that hold cutlery. I do, however, keep a locked edge-guard on my cutlery.

Some people have tagged me a "cutlery nut," and I even keep stainless steel forks at home. I know it's fashionable nowadays to use disposable utensiles made from biodegradable, compressed-and-formed corn cellulose byproducts, but steel forks and cutlery were good enough for my parents, and their parents before them, and they're good enough for me!

Ahem. [/satire]
