speaking of the murder kit...

there's actually a bunch of other stuff in my knife kit as well...there's a furi ozitech sharpener, which works really well and folds down into practically nothing.  i have a pill bottle full of extra stregnth tylenol, zantac 150, and a couple of lortabs for when things get really bad.  i got band aids in there.  i got gum.  i got a couple of sharpies.

i also have a toolbox full of goodies that i sometimes bring to work, depending on what i'm doing.  mostly it stays home.  that has my other two microplanes, my stick blender (an absolutely invaluable tool), a coffee grinder for spices, a few silicone spatulas, a small chinese rolling pin, a gnarly set of chinese veggie carving tools, extra squeeze bottles, pastry bags with a very impressive tip collection (for piping anything from frosting to mashed potatoes to guacamole), some silicone measuring cups and spoons that flatten out, a small bottle of white truffle oil, and a few jars of my favorite spices.  the spices vary, but there's always smoked paprika.

hey other cooks reading this (if any other cooks are reading this), leave a comment and tell me what's in your knife kits!
