I use mine correctly. I even know which fork to use. I can explain these finer points to you, but, if you haven’t learned by now, you don’t want to know them.
Years ago I was eating dinner at The French Room in Dallas, which is a fairly extravagant restaurant that uses a European model of service. Waiters and attendants stand at the walls around the perimeter of the room, waiting to be needed. I briefly used my dinner knife to put a some butter on a little piece of bread, and then I replaced the dinner knife onto the crystal knife rest. Sadly, for me, I had placed the knife on the crystal knife rest with the blade facing to the right. An attendant leaped into action and flipped my knife over, so that it faced the correct direction.
True story.
