Old Grouchy uses a paring knife, and he's not real picky about the knives. No mallet, no crackers, no nuttin like that.

I can only stress on so many things in one day - looks like you're not making the list. Tomorrow isn't looking so hot, either.

DULL paring knife. As younger man wanted to emulate macho grandfather, so picked up habit of cracking claws with hands. Usually pick up a lot of wounds also, depending on amount of accompanying beverages.
