That Explains It

I was watching Atlantic senior editor Corby Kummer's web video about knives up on the Atlantic site and I'm trying to convince myself that I recognize him from around the office somewhere when suddenly the words, "right here where I live in Cambridge, Massachusetts" escape his lips, thus explaining why I don't recognize him from the office -- he doesn't work there. It's interesting, though, that I was able to convince myself that I didn't. The knife business itself is interesting. There's also a print article if you're old school:

Never buy a set. Few people use more than three knives, and it’s practically inconceivable that one manufacturer will make the three likeliest to please you (or will sell them as a set).

Words to live by, I guess. I wonder where this three knives factoid comes from, though. I'm seeing four knives (bread, meat, big vegetables, little vegetables), plus some random spares.
