Stopped by a new shop in Boise and saw they were using a scimitar for all their primal breaks

I mean, idk, maybe it's just me but I've always reached for a breaking knife first, so has anyone else made that switch and found it better for your joints over a full day?

Saw a guy at the farmer's market last week using a Chinese cleaver to slice tomatoes. It's the same thing. People get stuck on the "right" tool for a job and miss that a good, comfortable tool you actually use is better than the perfect one that kills your wrist. My grandpa built half his house with a cheap hammer from the 70s because it fit his hand. Sometimes the standard choice isn't the best choice for your body.

Yeah, that makes total sense. PaigeWood is right about using what feels good for your body, even if it's not the standard pick.
