Paring knives are stupid and a vegetable peeler is faster.

Using knives in the dark... now that's what I call master skills! :)

In these parts a gas stove is uncommon. Candles or not a power outage in my place pretty much means a condemned kitchen. And don't forget I still have that one knife, which should suffice for emergency work. ;)

This is what I call « joindre l’agréable à l’utile ».
 
What’s the point of pairing knives? I never use them as a home cook.
