Definition: A utensil or a tool designed for cutting, consisting of a flat piece of hard material, usually steel or other metal (the blade), usually sharpened on one edge, attached to a handle. The blade may be pointed for piercing.
Alright class, settle down and let’s take a look! Today we're tackling the word "knives," and it’s quite a clever thing to know. The dictionary gave us a lovely definition, don’t you agree? Let’s break it down with a little rhyme for glee: “A knife is a tool, sharp and bright, For cutting things with all its might! With a blade of steel, so strong and true, And a handle to help see you through.” It’s made of metal, usually steel, you see, And the blade's been sharpened carefully! Notice how it’s shaped for a precise cut, Or even pierced with a pointed strut. Think about things like slicing bread so neat, Or carving pumpkins – oh so sweet! So "knives" are tools we use with care, To chop and slice beyond compare! Do you have any questions about what we’ve just discussed? Is there anything you'd like me to explain a little further?
