This Ocean Grove Sabatier knife wrote a brilliant, cutting edge essay that got it a scholarship to the Culinary Institute where it will major in seafood and where they do not allow cutting in at school dances.
But there is concern that he might instead run away with the dish and the spoon.

THE ROLLING STONES from their album “Some Girls”
Frank S. On the first day of medical school, when we met our cadavers, 4 of us gathered around our subject. I had an earthworm dissecting kit, but the student facing me rolled out a set of surgical instruments including knives. They were his father’s, and he told us that he would be a surgeon also and that he would get an A in anatomy. I nicknamed him the “Surgeon General.” He did get that A and he did become a surgeon. I doubt that he ever used those knives on a living patient.
During my surgical rotation, the residents would, as they say, operate on a ham sandwich. One wanted to remove a small fatty tumor on my arm. The incision would be small. I said OK as long as I could watch. As he made the incision, I passed out.
I never wanted to be a surgeon and I never passed out again during surgery.
As for the other knife questions, I don’t know.
Dr. Blogfinger : As knives are topic : Is it true that surgical knives are very very expensive ? Made of special metal ? Do surgeons have their own personal set of knives or do they use hospitals ? Also I heard that some surgeons whose fathers also were surgeons use their fathers set as an honor to their father ? Wouldn’t/don’t surgical knives change and get re-designed over years ?
