Every time I go to cut food, I always get annoyed by the hand opening. I’m not always handling the board so much to need a hand hold. It’s always laying flat. The only time I need the hand hold is when I pick it up.
Then today, I realized … it’s a melee weapon.
I do have a nicer board … a big thick one I use most often.
I use several boards for different things … one specifically for meat … one for just garlic and onions … another for fruits … and a general one for everything else.
It’s the smaller cheaper ones that annoy me. I use them because they’re cheap and you use for a year or two and replace them easily. I just don’t understand why you need a handhold for a small cutting board. But today I was holding in my hand and just started playing around with it wrapping my fingers around the hand hold and I automatically started treating it like a weapon to push, pull, swing and hit things with.
I’ve also been gifted older type cutting boards that look like a paddle. These ones are definitely melee weapons.
They’re melee weapons … lol
