    Missed opportunity to discuss the superlative, butchest knife.

    Also, butt-chest? That must be one long-ass knife.

      Butchers were either very good with sharp edges or strong enough to overcome any resistance and had a lot more protein in their food then the general population. Messing with them was a bad idea. /bad_history

    see, owning a knife and using it at the shop makes a shop owner butch, and thereby makes it a butcher knife.

    so if it’s a paint shop and the owner paints with the knife, it’s a butcher at a butcher shop with a butcher knife.
