Can someone explain the kunai intersection to me?

A throwing ("flying") knife.

Tenuous at best.

“Pretty fly for a kunai”

Ichi ni san yon go go roku

1234556?

(一ニ三四五五六)

The original song goes
Uno dos tres cuatro cinco cinco seis

It's stupid on purpose and makes sense if you listen to the lyrics

Yep, dumbass dorky (often tenuous) references is what I'm all about. Especially when it's Star Trek.

Plus it's a bit of a reference back to my username too.

I thought it was the kun sound kn in knife would make on its own and the ai sound the y in fly makes.

Pretty weak. All the others are great though

I'm not sure either, but when you google "fly knife" the kunai is the top result but the wiki page doesn't mention t at all, maybe because it's stereotypically a throwing (flying) knife?

I came to find the same thing. How does a butcher knife and a fly become a kunai?

That's a chefs knife.

Chef's knives and butcher knives are used interchangeably in my variant of the English language.

I would need to see an infographic on what differentiates them

Based on that infographic, yes, I mean a chefs knife, and I have never owned or held a butchers knife in my life.

Are you a butcher?

Based off the fact that I have never held a butcher's knife in my entire life I would say the answer is no, I am not a butcher of anything other than the English language

Butcher's knives tend to have a wider blade than chef's knives. They have kind of converged in the states, but classically that is the difference.
