Thanks - I was having trouble understanding that myself.  Now I get it.  The blade has a crescent shape to it.  You need a convex cutting board to make it work.  I better check Amazon for that cutting board....., 

Ah, but a chef's knife is designed to be rolled, so a crescent shaped knife would be fine, unless you don't know how to use it. Then I guess you're going to see that there's space between the knife and the board everywhere except in one spot

Do you "bundle" pricing if I buy multiple books? No, I give you my best price on every single book every single time whether you buy 1 or 100.

Then why have "Make offer" option?
