A Cutting Report

This is Richard's game face.  He is taking an ordinary kitchen knife (that I accidentally used upside down because I couldn't tell which side was supposed to be sharp) and putting a nice edge on it.  As in, count your fingers when you're done chopping tomatoes.

The handy-dandy sharpening kit was his birthday gift from my parents (thanks, y'all!) and it was slipped into our shipment a while back. 

Fast-forward to working in the big orphanage kitchen one afternoon and having more success at hitting my food into pieces than cutting it with any of these knives.

Richard to the rescue!  The ladies in the kitchen seemed a bit skeptical, but were happy for him to "try" to sharpen their workhorses.

A very pleased kitchen staff holds her new weapon of mass destruction.

Admiring the fine new edge and modeling the knife.

This dear one came running across the kitchen asking for her picture with the new masterpiece.  All three were most grateful and said God had sent us at the right time to sharpen their knives.  Mission accomplished!
