Sharp and clear/ short and clear/ brief and to the point

Sharp and clear/ short and clear/ brief and to the point

By metaphor: clear and decisive. In a clear and determined manner (originally: a nickname for a sharp and smooth knife, which is not rusty and can only be used for proper cutting).

("In the great cities there are special houses for making polished knives, and the iron is made of iron, which was not done in the generations before us, and every butcher, by his own ability, is able to withstand the knife being sharp and smooth, and therefore, if he does not do so, it is evident that he will be destroyed" - Aruch Hashulchan Yore De'a Hilchot Shechita Siman 18), And so: "And in the heart that the word that sinned in him was one and he passed away without a flaw" - Agnon / City and its fullness, 510, and so: "You will not leave the house today", she decided one and he passed away when I opened my eyes and said that the bears would not die in the forest if I spent a day in hiding one by one" - Life in the Well / Feathers, 182)
