We've come full circle. I watched a program about knives. Seems in Jolly
Olde, male dinner guests brought their own knives to carve meat and cut
their portions. One of the upper class had the "butter knife" designed so
that he could have the men leave their weapons at home and there would be
less chance of stabbings at dinner parties.
