Thank you! https://ko-fi.com/triggtube — Knives I Recommend— (These are all the 8” versions, which is my preferred length. I find 10” unnecessary, more expensive, and a bit difficult to control) $50-$100 Zwilling Twin Signature - A solid beginner knife. Easy to maintain & well made. The blade isn't very tall, so your hand is pretty close to the cutting board https://amzn.to/3vT2Lw0 Zwilling Pro 7” - White - This is the shorter version of the $100-$200 knife in the video. Great for smaller hands or just anyone who doesn’t need a big knife. If I could recommend one knife to anyone. This is it because it’s on a super sale right now https://amzn.to/3vT2Lw0 $100-$200 Zwilling Pro - A great everyday knife. Solid steel. Very comfortable. But pricey. If you can find it on sale for under a hundred dollars. This is the winner https://amzn.to/447uFBi Zwilling Pro Chinese Cleaver - A solid option in the same PRO family as the Zwilling Pro knife. Very comfortable in the hand, but can be heavy if cutting for longer periods https://amzn.to/3W0ypSR $200-$300 Bob Kramer x Zwilling Carbon Steel 8” - My favorite shape. The tall blade gives you some great distance from the cutting board, and the rounded spine is super comfortable. You do need to care for this blade because of the carbon steel, so it’s not really for beginners. A fantastic gift for a chef in your life https://amzn.to/4aSiVVi Miyabi Birchwood Santoku - Incredible knife. The blade is so thin that it perfectly slides through anything effortlessly. I haven’t chipped mine, but it does feel fragile and delicate, so I only use it for delicate tasks. I like the short blade, but prefer the gyuto personally because I mostly rock chop my food https://amzn.to/3U2LfNM Miyabi Birchwood Gyuto - Incredible knife. The blade is so thin that it perfectly slides through anything effortlessly. I haven’t chipped mine, but it does feel fragile and delicate, so I only use it for delicate tasks https://amzn.to/441tWl1 Messermeister Kawashima - This knife is made of powdered steel. Which I wasn’t able to talk about in the video. It’s a newer process that yields a hard knife that is a bit more stainless than an equally hard carbon steel knife. They are well-made, comfortable, and beautiful, but a bit pricey compared to other knives. A worthwhile investment in my opinion https://www.messermeister.com/product... $300-400 Bob Kramer Euroline Damascus - Absolutely beautiful with the same comfortable spine and handle as the Bob Kramer Carbon Steel, but visibly incredible. The pattern is textured and rough, so the blade didn’t perform as well dragging through food https://amzn.to/3Uk0wvl — Knives I DON'T Recommend — $4 Oiuiu - This knife is uncomfortable and dulls quickly… but it IS better than most $15 IKEA knives because it’s the same low quality knife, but it’s cheaper and comes with a protective case https://amzn.to/3xAcXKq Nikos Knife - The Serbian cleaver. The company sent me this knife for free to review, and it came from amazon with another company’s label on it. Clearly drop-shipped from a common supplier. The knife IS sharp, but super heavy, uncomfortable, unwieldy, and difficult to clean and maintain because of the oddly textured sides https://amzn.to/3xAGOCp Cutco Santoku - For the price, there are much better knives out there. This knife was very sharp, but lost its sharpness quickly. The handle is also uncomfortable in a pinch grip https://amzn.to/3xFvpBp Miracle Blade Perfection Series - It’s not $40 anymore, but they still sell this set. Online… it’s just too many knives and they don’t stay sharp for very long https://amzn.to/3Q2SlRq Thanks to Veritasium for providing some needed B-Roll for this video… How The Most Expensive Swords In The World Are Made Veritasium    • How Japanese Masters Turn Sand Into S...   00:00 Intro 01:00 Why focus on Chef's Knives? 02:20 Test 1: Hardness 05:00 Test 2: Endurance 07:42 Test 3: Alloys 10:38 Test 4: Styles 13:27 Final Paper Test Music: Silent Film Score Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)
