I have that knife. It is a good knife for sandwich making. The serrated edge cuts bread, and the rounded tip makes it good for spreading things that need spreading.

    We sometimes use a steak knife (not the big cutting ones, the sharper serrated table knives) for bread rolls. Sweden's a lawless hellscape compared to you down south.

    If it's so dull, get it sharpened.

    Liberated a steak knife from Outback steakhouse long ago. Similar in design and my favorite sammy accessory.

    I cut mine with this swedish monstrosity. Also good for cutting cake horizontally. Which I think it's meant for.

    Smol knife for scale.

    Edit: probably around 50 years old

    I get it. I have a set of ceramic knives I use almost exclusively for cutting soft flesh vegetables like tomatoes and peppers. And the peppers get cut with a cleaver if I'm cutting pretty much any other thing at the same time, so they're really just tomato knives.

    They're great for cutting tomatoes, though.

    when it's blunt does it go to the toilet as the poop knife?

    It's just cheap stainless steel with a cheap plastic handle. But it does the job pretty well.

    Hey we do too! No rounded tip though

    Full tang stainless steel. Works like a champ. Got it years ago in a block set.

    What’s a breakfast roll?

    Edit: yes, I guess it’s a roll you only have at breakfast, but is there something that forbids them the rest of the day? Do you have special rolls for each meal?

    you'd think that, but a breakfast roll is your morning poop

    And that warrants its own knife?

    Breakfast roll refers to both the food and the after event. Both need their own knife, but some use the same knife, a shared knife, if you will.

    It’s sorta an English breakfast folded into a French baguette. I guess it’s an acquired taste: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breakfast_roll

    That doesn't look anything like what they mean by breakfast rolls in Germany. These look much more like it: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Br%C3%B6tchen

    They are topped with butter, followed by cheese or minced meat. Or, in the morning, people tend to prefer sweet toppings such as jam or hazelnut nougat spread.

    Yikes! This is an affront to the sacred tradition of Frühstücksbrötchen.

    Don't know what a breakfast roll is, but that is a butter knife.
