Three knives may be supported by their handles in the following
manner: Place three glasses in a triangle, each side of which must be
about the length of one of the knives. The blade of the first knife
should rest on the blade of the second, by passing over it near to the
point where the handle and blade are joined; the blade of the second
passing in the same manner over the blade of the third, which is to
be made to rest on the blade of the first. The handles being then
carefully placed upon the glasses, a bridge is formed strong enough to
bear a considerable weight.
