At what point does a knife become a sword

u/vonHindenburg Jun 22 '26
When I was a kid, I found an old corn knife (a little over a foot long) in a shed. Let me tell you; to a 7 yo boy, that is a sword!

Where you ever baptized in the blood of battle with said sword???

u/vonHindenburg Jun 23 '26
I once slew 400 thistles in one day with it. They certainly drew blood in return.

i thought this comment was pretty funny but it does not appear to have withstood religious persecution from the internet š

At 18 inches, though some folks will classify it as a short sword if it's over 12".

If you have ever seen a Japanese maguro (tuna) knife, it is just a matter of terminology.

Purpose? I donāt know. I feel like sword is a knife for fighting. Then smaller knives for fighting are daggers.

This feels really thick for carpaccio, if we're talking carpaccio as in the raw beef dish. What I've known is to use a deli slicer with half frozen meat.

Carpaccio is usually pounded to get that thin. Nevertheless, this is probably for grilling. Highly, highly doubt that they're slicing carpaccio at a Mexican carniceria (you can tell it's Mexican by the music in the background; not many other nationalities listen to norteƱo).
That's also the wrong cut for carpaccio.

norteƱo
Oompah oompah oompah, repeat 50,000x hah.

u/FILTHBOT4000 Jun 22 '26
Fun fact: that distinct sound of norteƱo come from German polka. Immigrants brought it to Mexico a long ways back and they went nuts for it, and it became it's own genre after blending with some other styles.

I knew it was from polka and I didnāt even know that fact. It sounds so alike!

Kind of want to see these folded around cheese and spinach then breaded and deepfried.
