I was just being flippant. Don't worry about it.

I will note that when I got the knife I was quite taken aback and asked my not-quite-husband if he thought his brother did it on purpose or understood the symbolism of it. My husband laughed and said, "No. I'm sure he has no idea. He just thinks knives are useful in the kitchen." Which is, I'm sure, true, knowing my brother-in-law. But, yes, I WAS quite shocked, because I did recognise the symbolism there. The thing is, the gift giver did not, and had no intentions or even understanding, and, well, to paraphrase Freud, sometimes a knife is just a knife.
