They stay sharp 10 times as long as steel and don't react with food or affect its smell or taste. They are also lightweight, making repetitive chopping less of a strain. The hardness of the blades makes them less flexible, however, so they aren't so hot for cutting that requires maneuverability, such as carving. And there's not yet a reliable method for home sharpening, so the manufacturer might have to put a new edge on for you when it finally...

The military has already released some Reserve troops from deployment because they have hit the 24-month ceiling--or offered them a $1,000 monthly tax-free bonus to waive the rule. That money upsets Helmly. "We must consider the point at which we confuse 'volunteer to become...
Aside from Navy junior Joe Smutz’s win in the 50-yard freestyle, Harvard captured each event heading into the first diving break. And, surprisingly, it was that brief respite—and not the strain of non-stop swimming—that finally began to get to Wollner...
