EP Flash: Slicing (http://escapepod.org/2005/07/11/ep-flash-slicing/)
By Greg van Eekhout (http://writingandsnacks.com/).
Read by Stephen Eley.
The fact is, almost any new knife can cut through an aluminum can and then slice a tomato with equal ease. Don’t believe me, buy a new cheap knife and try it yourself. The pitch man hacks through a tree branch. He cuts a radiator hose. And this ho-hum humbug works. If he hammered a nail with his shoe people would buy nine pair, as long as they came with a free shoehorn and an extra pair of laces.

Another awesome story grenade by Eekhout! I LOVE the fact that atom-slicing is not the climax of the story. :) I'd buy one! I just hope that knife doesn't get into the wrong hands!
