физтех финишд!

Yes. I do mostly table-top type of reviews. I don't invest into fancy video edits. I target my videos to Knife people which expect critical view on all knife features. For example, on this knife: Convex grind, more curved geometry, 15 angle, a bit rough handle, not so good steel. If you are ready to talk at that knife features level, you will appreciate that info from me. Also, I am not trying to be influencer and make you purchase that knife, I am not affiliated with any brand. All the knives you see on my channel are my spendings. Anyway, you are welcome with all comments and if you have any questions please just ask. I usually reply to all comments.

Yes, that works too.

@knifeshopping just ordered one myself do you still use your one , cheers

@@Mackle-b3o well, at home I have all kinds of sharpening tools. from "tormek" style to spyderko. This one is specifically for travels, so no, I don't use it on daily basis but yes I always take it with me if it is a trip for more than few days

This is what we DON'T do on this channel. We talk about knives for a very long time. Please join. Thank you! P.S did you try this? was that helpful at least?

It is in Dubai Mall, near Burj Khalifa. Lower level.

Fujiwara Kanefusa FKM Series

Yes, that's the one I have in AUS-8 steel.

Yes, I know it works! and it is so easy to do.

Yes, I agree. But it exceeded my expectations.

@@knifeshopping I found it for €220. I ordered today.

@@Jnatseu OMG! I hope you like it.

Привет! Я Русский, живу в пригороде Бостона, ножи это моё хобби. Пиши если есть любые вопросы по ножам, постараюсь помочь объяснить.

@@knifeshopping спасибо, люблю кухонные ножи, подпишусь👍🏻

Cheers! I'd love my ceiling have more wine!

I get Cutco fans(marketing) people comments quite often on my channel. No one can clearly say what is good about those knives compared to modern ones. This comment did not even check itself, said Costco instead of Cutco. Yes, Cutco show in Costco is usually a disaster, I know the guy who does it and he knows me and he always take a break when I shop there. Also thank you for talking to me like I'm not here, I am as "This Guy" know very well what I'm talking about, just watch my video or follow me as I travelled all over the world and bought all the knives I could.

Least delusional American. Real talk, Cutco knives are pretty garbage quality and insanely overpriced. You can buy 2 sets of pro chefs knives for the same cost. It will last you longer and you will get a FAR superior experience. Cutco cult member alert!

Please don't. First of all, it is way more than 500 now. Second, if you are thinking about it, don't buy it. The only way to purchase it is just impulse and no regrets for the cost. Can you afford that?

Depends on what you expect. Steel and grind a bit better, very thin behind the edge. But overall construction and quality maybe be not up there. I assume you mean inexpensive VX with plastic handle. Choose this one if you like the look and vintage style of construction. Choose VX if you want the knife which you can care less. Also never pay full price, choose per your budget.

@@knifeshopping Im asking about the steel quality. Sharpness, edge retention. Thank you

@@medk I can't tell based on my experience, I don't have vx now (had couple for sharpening, tried them), and I gave this one away to my friend. Steel is comparable, Arcos maybe a bit better, Initial sharpness again Arcos as it has a very thin grind. but with those steels edge retention will depend on how hard you'll use them. both will not surprise you. If you like Arcos, better go for Manhattan/Brookline knives, fully forged, but heavier.

@@knifeshopping thanks bro

Please let me know what you got. Are you in Denmark? Copenhagen? There is a Zwilling store downtown, maybe you can stop by and choose the knife which is straight in-store.... I visit Copenhagen every year now, love it, there is also another great knife store in the market with lots of Japanese knives, talk to those guys if you have time...

I am actually not running sling on shotgun at all. That attachment is for just in case, I primarily wanted it to mount pic-attached small flashlight. On rifle/carbine sling is a must, not on shotgun, in my opinion.

I usually recommend Misen in value category. Did you check them out?

@@knifeshopping I am looking for something more in the premium category. I really like the Performer series as far as the handle, sleek black look, and DLC coating. I just don’t care for that knife styles they offer. I wish they had a half bolster chefs knife and maybe a Nikiri. I’d buy those but I just can’t get myself to spend $350 for it if it’s not perfect.

@@grizzlyaustin1 I don't have a lot of expensive knives. I can recommend few which I know and they stand out for some reason: Anarchy knives: German steel, designer look, made in Portugal, not too expensive. Artisan Revere knives: Premium USA steel, made in USA. Warther cutlery: Made in USA, not so premium look, not too expensive, very good steel. Cangshan Thomas Keller knives: China, but good Swedish powder steel. And finally ultimate unreachable performance: OWL knives from Russia, convex, zero edge, M390 steel, have no idea how to get them in US, I have one but did not post review yet. owlknife.ru/%D1%82%D0%BE%D0%B2%D0%B0%D1%80/%d1%88%d0%b5%d1%84-ch200/ Or you can always settle for Shun premier or Miyabi... Let me know what catches your attention and I can elaborate more. most of those knives are on my channel

Agree, and as I entered that Wusthof factory store in Solingen, Yes! I walked out of that with that small chef's and never regrated. Good overpriced toy.

@@knifeshopping Are you based in EU or USA? If USA, which part? Also how did you get your knife sharpening business started? I've always wanted to do a side gig sharpening knives for people but posting in Craigstlist and FB Marketplace just returns a lot more weirdos than people who actually want a sharp knife.

@@MMMmyshawarma Boston area. I do sharpen, but I only post my ad in local facebook group, so only neighbours of our relatively wealthy town can see that, and I don't have a lot of customers which is OK for me. I charge nominal fee $1 per inch of the blade, and it barely covers any of my expensive hobbies. Just for interest. and yes, there were few wierdos which I carefully asked not to bring that garbage again.

Wusthof makes two different knife sets. One that is forged and another that is stamped. This knife is fully forged which is why its expensive. What you saw was probably the gourmet series which is like $80

Can you please elaborate on sharpening issue? I suspect if the hardening is not so good, there will be a lot of burr. I mostly hone my utility knife, I less care for perfect edge on that.

I'm not sure what is it with this one particular IKEA knife. I have also IKEA VG10 and Eden Aus10 knives. They are much easier to make them hair shaving sharp. I use 1200, 3000, and sometimes 8000 grit stones with strop covered in diamond paste (DMT). This particular IKEA knife takes me the most time to sharpen it to my liking. I was also thinking about botched hardening...

Will do! In few words, Perfomer performs ! Out of those 3 only performer stayed in my kitchen and everyone loves it.

@@knifeshopping that’s good to hear you still have it! I’ve seen a couple reviews that the DLC tarnishes over time so I’m interested to see your updated video to see how well it held up!

Thanks! I will let the owner of those knives know.

I know! I am so exited around knives!

@@knifeshopping fair enough :D

In my opinion Wusthofs are way better, thinner blade and good heat treatment. But the price is high, would not pay full price for them. I have video from couple years ago how I got 3 Wusthofs at their factory store for reasonable price. Need to try Victorinox and see how I like the handle, dont like it from picture so far. Maybe someone will bring it to me to sharpen...

@@knifeshopping What do you think about discontinued Wusthof Epicure Slate series which is sold cheaper? There is also discontinued series Wusthof Grand Prix which is also sold for reasonable prices.

@@proudbacteria1373 I have a video on few Wusthov knives where I show Epicure in good details, Slate would be a cheaper version with plastic handle. Interesting knife. Grand Prix is not for me, I don't like full bolster.

@@knifeshopping On German Amazon Wusthof Epicure Slate 16 mm chef was 42 euro recently without VAT. When you ship to USA they exclude VAT hence it gets cheaper and shipping cost is 18 euro to USA. So it would cost 60 euro with shipping. But this knife became out of stock just a few days ago while I was considering buying it.

Agree. The cost also will depend on how this is done, by hand or by robot. I've seen few knife factories and there is a lot of manual steps still even in big manufacturing plants which make inexpensive mass-market knives.
