Yes, that's silly and is the precise point. Butternut Squash soup is only the simplest of examples where you need a minimum 8" chef's knife (and a mallet). Dare one should go onto a 10" Santoku knife with hollow-ground bezel for thick pork foreshanks in Pozole Verde. Hey, Williams-Sonoma sells a perfectly suited Serrated 12" Roast knife; certainly great on a man's head if you're of that bent. Saws like 'buttah'! And heck, even The Mallet you need for good whacking thick oxtails for your beef base. Great for whacking other stuff, too. But then only "Outlaw Chefs Who Make Clarified Consomme" would have mallets. Gets even more dangerous with those skewer thingies. One day you're walking into a Parisian post office. 11 minutes later, you're part of Moroccan Lamb/Dried Apricot/Feelawful/Decadent Westerner Fondue. So we gotta outlaw sticks after that. Where does it end?!
