Coworker roasted my knife over the burner so he can cut styrofoam.
Found my coworker cutting styrofoam with my knife after he heated it up over the burners. Is it ruined?

Your coworker owes you a new knife.

That’s bullshit, he owes you a new knife.

Did you use that now temperless, soft and soon to be dull knife to break down his still screaming body to make Long Pork soup of the Day?

Might also be used to cut a stupid coworker…

Excessive heating of a tempered material will make it brittle.
Not to mention the toxic dinosaur residue left behind from the melted Styrofoam.
Your coworker is a moron 1. And 2, he should be replacing your knife.
No idea why he felt he needed to use a hot knife to cut Styrofoam. Unless he does it all the time, then the fumes produced would explain his IQ.
Edit: y’all are arguing over semantics. The chemical structure of the knife has been altered. Brittle, soft, whatever fucking adjective you want to use to describe it, it will break more easily and won’t hold an edge as well.

Not sure if thats disrespect or stupidity but yeah. New knife for Christmas

I’m no blacksmith, but heating hardened metal can cause it to become soft again. Will sharpen easier, but dull way quicker. Ask also in /r/knives or /r/chefknives

Cut him with it and see if it still works.

Heat them up over the burner and see how they like it

to see how ruined it is, check how smoothly it can slide between the ribs of said coworker.

Everyone is talking about the knife, why is nobody talking about the accident investigation that’s going to happen next week when they fall into the deep fryer “on accident”.
Side note this is why I love victorinox chef knifes, they are great and abusable as fuck. They can hit bone a few times and not dull too badly. Important when you need to hide a coworkers body.
With that said I’m not actually advocating murder…… or am I? Okay maybe just a little murder, just a smidge.

Why the fuck is he using your knife? I’m going to guess he didn’t want to fuck his own up?

They owe you a new knife of equal value. Don’t let them buy some shit Walmart knife.

First night I am working in a new kitchen and we are cleaning and closing up. Fry guy was one of those types that liked to wear a chef coat and call himself a chef, even though he had been on that fry station for a year but yet still couldn’t own it, even on slow nights. Anyways, I’m not really paying attention and just wrapping my station. Then I hear the fry guy scraping away at something on his station. He had my knife in his hand and he was using it to scrape the stuck on gunk off the inside of his station. It was only Kiwi #21. But still no idea when he even grabbed it off my station. Why he grabbed it. And why he thought it was ok to use it as a cleaning tool. When I said “no, don’t do that and give me my knife back.” He had the most confused look on his face.

So he’s replacing it, right?

Shit like this is why I’ll never bring a knife worth more than, like, $40 into a professional kitchen

Does it cut bitches tho?

Good news is i think your knife will be okay. It doesn’t look like he roasted it long enough to do any serious damage. It will need a polish for sure high grit sand paper but that’s a mere flesh wound. It takes more than a few minutes to start a temper even if the flame is pretty hot.
