I have two chef’s knives, one Henckels to use at home and one Forschner for when I or the Henckels is on vacation. Iris calls the Forschner my “new knife,” although it’s now almost a year old. Today I had the Henckels sitting by the sink and was about to wash it when Iris came over.

> **Iris:** Is that your new knife?

> **Me:** No, it’s my old knife. My new knife is just for vacations.

> **Iris:** You could take it to Alki Beach and cut me some crunchy carrots.
