Because in ancient times, the knife was a weapon.
Among hundreds of soldiers, the knife is the most deadly weapon. When Cao Cao started his army, he made crude knives with craftsmen. The humble hand knife is a kind of short knife, but Cao Cao said, "It can be said that the knife is short and meaningful." Therefore, you don't need to be a European metallurgical expert for casting, a jade ring for ornament, or a rhinoceros for profit. As long as it is a knife, it is a sharp weapon of the country and cannot be given to others casually. Sabre, saying "Wen Wen, with the power of heaven", said that only big people should use knives, and ordinary people should not use knives in their daily lives.
There are knives and axes above and knives and knives below, which is enough. As for the middle, whether it is a broadsword, Chen's knife, a lead knife, a book knife, a tolerance knife, a love knife, a tile knife, a kitchen knife, a three-pointed double-edged knife and a dragon crescent moon knife, it is forbidden. It should be pointed out that Chen Shuling is also used to cut off the neck of the prince's brother with a blunt medicine knife.
Now the management of cutting tools has been very lax.
Although there is a saying that knives are controlled now, the standards are too loose and it is easy for people to exploit loopholes. If the controlled tools are determined, one of them is that the sharp angle is less than 60 degrees. The kitchen knife takes advantage of this loophole. Although the kitchen knife looks square on the surface, it is actually a very lethal tool.
