I have two Victorinox chefs knives that are sharp as scalpels. They are the most used knives in the industry. They scare me to death, I treat them with utmost respect. I never wash them, I wipe them clean and put them back in the sheath. They could cut half an inch deep in a trice.. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

Great knives, I have three of them (8", 10", and a Granton edge slicer). All the money went where it counts. They are every bit as good as my Global G2s. |

Mosca Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 22 Posts: 730 | The guy with the oxygen tank in the MRI room, he was taking the tank to his ailing father and asked repeatedly to make sure the machine was off, and was told by the MRI attendant something along the lines of, "What, don't you think I know my job?" So, Darwin Award, but maybe not for the poor victim and his family. |

I'm not fond of the 10", too unweildly. I'm looking to get a Victorinox cleaver next. Dang thing is a weapon.. Here it is: If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

Mosca Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 22 Posts: 730 | I use the 8" the most, but the 10" has its place with things like carrots, potatoes, onions, etc. The thicker stuff. And, oh man. That cleaver is awesome! |

rxwine Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 188 Posts: 18633 | I'd blame the people running the MRI. An oxygen tank is no small thing. You shouldn't be able to just go into the room anyway without someone screening them. Or they should have installed a door when it was built if it's just walk in. Anything that can become dangerous through the air just by turning it on has no business not being in a closed room with someone monitoring it while it is unlocked. You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really? |

pew Member since: Jan 8, 2013 Threads: 4 Posts: 1232 | When I had MRI in the past I had to have my eyes Xrayed to make sure I didn't have a shard of steel in there. Kinda creepy the idea of a splinter of steel coming flying out of your eye. |

Is the machine OFF (so that I may safely take this metal oxygen tank there?) Is the machine OFF (so that my father is not getting any treatment, you incompetent jerk?) Attendant replied to the 2nd version but son had asked the 1st version. |
