I was watching a short YouTube video that showed the ‘sharpest knife in the world’, or at least that’s what it said. I will admit I was rather impressed at how the knife could slice a paper thin piece of tomato while said tomato was lying on the bench, and the guy cutting was just sliding the blade through. Yes, truly sharp. I want one! That’s my immediate reaction but in the meantime, I had a meal to prepare which included slicing a vegetable, an onion. The kitchen knife I have is rather sharp as well, and if this has happened once, it’s happened a few times. If you don’t concentrate on what you are doing, zap! One finger is 3 layers of skin shorter, or you have a cut a centimetre deep and blood is just gurgling from the wound all over your veggie!
I raced off to the bathroom to wash and bind, but all I got was a wash. Anyway, to make a long story short, after I eventually ran next door to get a bandage, I made a promise to place a proper first aid style kit with proper supplies in the bathroom. For heaven’s sake, we had one in the car, which my husband drives to work each day. Doh!
Here’re a list and some tips on what to stock it with and where you can buy all the stuff. Read it.
