Kitchen knives can be made from several different materials.

Famous quotes containing the words kitchen and/or knife:
“They know they are about to die,
but breathe like premies, in and out,
upon my kitchen table.”

“When she, and though some said she played
I said that she had danced heart’s truth,
Drew a knife to strike him dead,
I could but leave him to his fate;
For, no matter what is said,
They had all that had their hate....”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
