Restaurant Owners Are Increasingly Providing Knives to Kitchen Staff | Eater
"The organization supplies knives to its workers and its operations head argues that the burden of purchasing and transporting knives should not fall on team members. Providing tools avoids safety and legal risks tied to carrying blades offsite — one leader recounts nearly being charged after a police stop — and makes ownership optional rather than mandatory. While many cooks prefer their own knives, the emphasis here is that proper maintenance matters more than price: a well-kept inexpensive knife can perform the job, and restaurants should ensure staff have functional tools while leaving custom purchases to individual choice." - Jaya Saxena
