Reading the subject article "cold" for the first time, I thought you and Knife Rights looked pretty good. I was more worried about your cholesterol level than anything else! Granted that there is that thing about your drawing your knife.

More important is your statement that kitchen knives are the most common "weapon" - that definitely should have been included.

I thought of weaponized kitchen knives last night as I was washing dishes, cleaning Mrs. Hikermor's favorite tool, a nice pointy 5" paring knife, and gazed at our cutlery, including my grandfather's 14" butcher knife, a sacred totem. As with most kitchen drawers, lots of potential mayhem there...One wonders, are most knife crimes involved with domestic confrontations?

All in all, I thought you came off rather well in the article, as did the objectives of KR. If this is the worst job you ever receive from the media, you are fortunate. I have been involved in far worse....
