What is the safest way to dispose of old steak knives?

Friday, July 9th, 2010
Cat Lady 1968 asked:

I have an old block of chef’s knives and steak knives, and I am planning to buy a new one. I don’t want to just throw the old ones in the trash – how can I dispose of them safely? If all else fails, I can sell them at my next yard sale.

How to get a good lawyer to help you in a domestic abuse case?

Thursday, July 8th, 2010
FireFighersWife asked:

My sister is getting a divorce from her husband. She left with the kids because he was being abusive. She got a restraining order on him and filed phone harassment charges against him. She also went to court and the gave her a protection order for 180 days. That night he broke into the house where she was staying, beat her and pulled a knife on her and told her he was going to kill her and their kids. She got him to leave and called the police. He was not arrested until 2 days later after we called a billion times. Her lawyer was given to her by the womans shelter and a rock could represent her 1000 times better than he is. We live in West Virginia. Any ideas on laws to help her…??? We fear for her and the kids.

Where can I buy good quality knives for chopping vegetables, and cutting meat?

Monday, July 5th, 2010
Olga Z asked:

Such as professional cooks have. I am planning to become a professional cook, and cutting with regular knives is rather time-consuming (but maybe it is good to practice on lower quality knives so that I’ll have a better training?)
I’d appreciate a name of a store or a web link.
Thanks!

What are the California laws on butterfly knives?

Monday, June 28th, 2010
john asked:

I’ve read the California knife laws, and it does not directly reference butterfly knives. If butterfly knives are in fact illegal, what about a training knife? Are they legal? I just want to play with one around my house because they are fun.

How Do I sell all these Knives?

Saturday, June 26th, 2010
Stephen Colbert for President asked:

OK, so like 2 years ago I was gonna start selling knives, because they were really cheap on the cutlery channel. It would still be a good business, but I’m a full time Student(High school Senior), and I just don’t seem to have time. At first my friends wanted to buy some, but they either didn’t have the(any) money or their parents found out and somewhat reasonably thought it was a little shady. Then someone was gonna hook me up on Ebay last year, but I wasn’t 18 at the time and didn’t have a credit card to start an account. So I’ve always thought that a flee market booth could be good, but then I would need all kinds of display cases, and what not. That just never worked, because like I said I’m a full time student. Oh, without me saying you probably know that I bought a set or case of knives (50-100), and then to make it worse my dad tried to give me a helping hand and through a business partner, got me another 100 or so knives. It kinda bothers me, because I had support, but just couldn’t get business going.

tonetones03 asked:

I have an expensive set of stainless steel kitchen knives that my hubby has put in the dishwasher a few times. There are a few rustspots that I’d like to remove, but I don’t want to damage the knife. Wouldn’t steel wool scratch it?
