Excellent! I watched it all the way through and then I was trying to go back to review some sections and then saw this; perfect! These together are a reference.
b.. but he said 4 things !
Thank you. Great reference
Wow, I can tell this man knows about chemistry, mining, forging, butchering, cooking, and retail sales. A well-informed guy from start to finish. Best vid out there!
I wish this guy had a RUclips channel. I could listen to him talk about knives non stop
No doubt. As could I!
Yes. He really does know what he is talking about. It's a great video. Much appreciated. Thanks.
8arbarossa Bro I failed no nut November to this video....very good explanations, and it’s really good at feeding my knife hobby without me spending money
(Didn’t legit fap it was a joke lol)
@@insomnia9619 Wrong guy Einstein.
Shayan Givehchian I was searching for that just now keeping my fingers crossed. There’s The Knife Merchant Inc I found. I’d love to have that business. I’d be so happy to go to work every day.
35 years in the biz. This is the best knife video I've ever seen! Thank you!
Never a dull moment with this guy.
This video is literally a master course on how to recognize knife quality. Absolutely the best video I have ever seen. Thank you so much for this amazing education!
This is an unbelievably informative video. I wish this gentleman had his own channel, but I'm glad he's made this! Hats off. The section on steel composition is spot-on.
I m not a chef, not much of a knife enthusiast....but i saw this whole.. & I HAVE 2 SAY this is an awesome video... i love the fact that... this shop-owner actually does know everything about he sells.... OMG... amazing video......!!!
Mohammad Faisal same thing here, David a person with a lot of Knowledge in Knives!!
yeah, it's always a pleasure to listen someone who's into his job.
I'm a retired old chef and enjoyed your knife video immensely. Thank You.
Just getting into home cooking & choosing right knives. This is best informational video I've seen. Kudos to this guy for thorough explanation.
David Holly, you had me mesmerized with the knowledge and also with the ease of explanation to us who are novices! Thank you!
I appreciate that he remembers all difficult Japanese name and understands all shapes and what they are designed for.
One of the only long-form knife videos on all of RUclips in which the "expert" was truly that, an expert... and it is obvious.
He has so much knowledge he often had to double back and explain something tangential to explain his current point, as opposed to just waxing on with opinions on this or that... a giveaway that he knows wtf he's talking about. Excellent video.
Outstanding video, thanks very much to David. His advice was very helpful, covering all the basic info and adding a lot of deeper insight that even many knife enthusiasts probably didn't know. Always good to hear from a true expert!
Such a huge fan of this series. I am an aspiring chef who has worked all over the field for many years and I learn so much from this.
Hiro is my hero.
I've never enjoyed someone talking so close to an hour about knives before as much as this man, his passion is balanced with no-nonsense critique from years of experience. And he managed to fit so much in! Very informative.
That was the best presentation of information related to knife quality that this novice enthusiast has ever seen. I'm sure there others with more information, but this was awesome for me to see. Thanks ever so much for sharing your knowledge.
Every single word Mr. Holly had to say had me riveted! This is by far the best comprehensive review on knives I've seen to date!
I never get tired of watching this video. It's like watching several times one of your favorite movies.
David is an encyclopedia about knives. He is sincere when he says he is not an expert in steel, he is an expert in knives and his personalization. He is the real knife person for the knives people :)
Pura vida, from Costa Rica
Rapfaelo
This is about the 12th time I have watched this. I do it for pleasure as well as knowledge - every time I go through it, I pick up something previously missed.
David's demeanor and intonation is almost hypnotic as he breathes life into the qualities of each piece.
I was so enthralled in the video I was bowing to my laptop at the end! So much experience and knowledge in one room, priceless.
Pure, essential knowledge about cutlery knife in 1 video. Amazing. I love it!
This man is a pleasure to listen too. I looked up the shop and it is in San Diego Ca..the knife merchant. I went to visit my best friend down there and had to make a stop for the slight chance I might get to say hello or at least wave. I was fortunate enough that on the day I went, the store was empty and he actually stepped out and helped me choose a knife..he gave me all the knife knowledge you hear on this video and then some. He let me hold and try some of his most expensive knives. Some which are only made by two sets of hands. Ultimately I went with a Miyabi Kaizen.. I love the knife and I love the experience. A very knowledgeable and humble man. Salt of the earth.
wow, I've never heard anyone articulate the issues concerning knife choices that well - kudos to David, and to Hiroyuki for having him on the vlog!
Just found this vlog and thank you so much for all this info. It really clears up a lot of my questions about the differences in knives. Finally somebody that knows his stuff.
David's plethora of knowledge,
should be considered a multi-national treasure. Thank you for sharing with us.
that was so cool, really appreciate the time he took to explain. i want a german knife now lol
Thanks for making this video! Always a pleasure watching guys from the Knife Merchant.
I loved this video. It is great to learn a little bit about different things in the culinary world from actual professionals!!!
Keep up the good work guys!
So much information in this video, love hearing David talk about knives he really knows his stuff
I could listen to him all day.. his voice is so soothing.. so educational!!
Years of knowledge and experience condensed into 42 minutes. Glad I found this channel. Thanks.
David's a walking Encyclopedia! Most impressive! And the time just flew by, about how the molybdenum filled in the orange-peel dimples, to why scalloping the santoku is useless, misting the metal vapour to make powdered compacts etc etc - just so much info. Thank you for uploading!
I hadn't heard of molybdenum until this video
Amazing video!! Thanks for this! I’m not a pro chef by any means but i spend countless hours per week in the kitchen making traditional foods for my family! This is a great resource!
This is THE most informative video I've been able to find on the subject of knives. THANK YOU!!!
This was the best tutorial I’ve seen on knife craft and selection for the casual or professional chef. Thank you.
That was great. Really great information. I didn't even realize how long this video was. Totally absorbing. See you next time! 🙂
That's what she said...
By far the best description of knives I have seen, so far. Thanks for the education.
I enjoyed watching just taking in the knowledge from this guy. He's a legend !
That was amazing and I have to say he knows the science behind it ,, thank you .
Definitely has to be one of the best descriptions on knives I've seen in a long time. Thank you!
I've watched more knife videos than I can count, I still learned a ton here! Great content!
I enjoyed watching this immensely. I have a background in tool and die making and 30 plus years working in engineering and I am impressed with David's knowledge of metallurgy. I always knew that a much harder steel will chip but its great to listen to an expert expound on the subject of cutlery steels.
Love the knowledge about cutlery. The different blade styles, metals and handles was quite helpful.
And I though I knew all about knives as an amateur knive maker.
This guy knows his products . Respect
Wow! This guy knows his subject and explains it well. Thanks.
David is so knowledgeable on knives it is just Amazing!!!
what a great, no-bullshit guide.
to the point, substantial, no myths, pure practicality. hard to come by these days ;), keep it up, guys!
I haven't watched a 40 minute RUclips video start to finish, literally ever. I was shocked to see that's how long it all was, though I may not have retained a lot of the names and types of steel I was fascinated by the entire demonstration. This man really knows his stuff and it shines when he's explaining. I'll have to check out his website.
Have around 100 knives just because I live knives, and like you, my interest is also tied to my cooking, fishing, and blade sharpening. Love this video , please keep ypur knowledge coming
Ten Billion knife videos on YT. This one is THE most educational. Thank you, I needed this.
Wow,,, what a lesson on knives, steels, manufacturing techniques and cutting skills! Absolutely the best video I have ever seen, on knives! And I might add, that I am a mechanical Engineer and really appreciated all that he mentioned!!
Very, very informative video. Thank you very much for posting this.
Superb. I could listen to this guy talk about knives all day.
A friend and I just got sucked in and watched the whole video which left our heads spinning ( in a good way). This is an outstanding, detailed overview of knife selection for we novices.
Congrats for all the videos and for the priceless knowledge we get from Knife Merchant. I wish every business owner should be so well educated about their products, share it with their customers and with such a pleasant attitude. I dont have enough words to say how much i appreciate this valuble information from David.
I wish god bless David, his familly, his work and his business.
I have learned so much while watching this video. Thank you for posting this video and thanks to David Holly too!
Really informative, even for somebody who's just a weekend chef.
THAT WAS GREAT
Thank David too.
Thanks Ken..
David, I thought I was knowledgeable in culinary cutlery...... your knowledge regarding all aspects cutlery is crazy awesome. Great video!!
That was FANTASTIC! A one stop shop for chef knife knowledge. :-)
Great video, thanks for everyone's time and effort from here in the UK.
really well explained. I finally understand some of this knife lingo. Often when you get into the store to pick a knife they just reel off words like a statistic sheet and by the end of it i'm just thinking "so it cuts things?" I also finally understand why some people say 'harder doesn't mean better' when it comes to blades.
I have been watching a whole lot of knife review videos and all I got was a lot of the same semi-correct/incorrect information over and over again. I came here and wish I'd found this one first. It answered all my questions and gave me all the information I needed to select the proper knives. Gave a liked and subscribed. If this one is that informative, I cannot wait to watch other ones.
So informative! Watched through the entire video and you answered so many questions I had. Thanks a million!
David is awesome! He's sold me two of my best knives.
Best break down of knives I have ever seen. Soooooo good!
about two years later I still reccommend this video to my friends or new co workers, I also always mention how I can listsen to David's voice for hours
SUCH KNOWLEDGE. THANKS FOR THE VIDEO!
If only I had watched this video when I was choosing a knife 2 years ago. Great information, lots of tips that not everyone would know!
Really great video. Thought I knew a lot but learned so much.
Great video. This guy really knows his trade. Learned a lot thanks
omg he got me with the "good afternoon" LOL
So many beautiful knives...I'd be in serious financial trouble if I went to this store even once.
Grey my girlfriend always yells at me because i buy these knives the trick is the more expensive the knife the more it will cost you to take care of it
Store closing sales are the best place for deals on good knives!!! I picked up a few and they were going like hot cakes
@@simplelife6318
Beautiful logic,
Good reasoning,
Excellent information. I learned more in 40 min than in a lifetime of searching. Thank you.
Great Job David...1st time deep knowledge about chef knives.. love you
Brother, that is outrageous! My favorite of your works, and your reaction to the etch cracked me up! I wish I knew how to sharpen a knife like you do, it’s not as easy as it looks o.o
Sometime you stumble across a RUclips vid that teaches you more than you could have ever expected. Thanks David. I'll buy my next knife from you.
Incredibly interesting and well-explained. Many thanks
I was hesitant to watch this video, thinking it would be the same as hundreds of others. When I did watch it I was amazed at how much knowledge this man was willing to share. I feel like I have learned an encyclopedia's worth of information on knives from him. Thank you very much for this video.
Best video on cutlery. Period.
Totally agreed. Most of the other videos I've watched are too basic or the content creators seem very pretentious. This guy gave a ton of information in an easy to digest way.
He even had my Victorinox there. I cant keep a good sharp edge to save my life. Had it professionally sharpened, it was like a razor. I cut up some meat and some vegetables, and i lost that razor edge. I even have a good quality ceramic honing rod. It helps, but it just doesn't last. I have wanted to experiment with the Japanese one sided knives and see how I like those, but haven't figured out which one to try first.
A really excellent tutorial.. this man is just so knowledgeable about knives to a point of obsession in a good way. 👍
I have purchased many knives and whet stones from Knife Merchant and my most recent purchase was two beautiful Pro Teak cutting boards and a Miyabi Birchwood chefs knife. always right on time! I am learing the art of knife sharpenintg with the help of Master Sushi Chef Hiro Terada. Thanks David
absolutely amazing. thank you for sharing your experience, wisdom and knowledge with us!
Great information here. I would like to see a video on what David's take is on Chinese style chef knives. Steel comparisons, quality, etc. Thank you for sharing this knowledge with us. It is always a treat to see what the industry is coming up with and why.
This blew me away. So much knowledge!
Very interesting video, thank you for posting this and good afternoon Hiro!
Great video. I had previously read up on the various cutting and blade styles but it didn't click til I saw it in action.
New video with David and Bill WOOOOOOOO always love these videos!!
I am a local san diego chef , and i have always had EXCELLENT service. Very Knowledgeable and highly trained... not to mention a great deal!
This is a great video breaking down the steels and their attributes and knife shapes etc. he also explains why I personally will purchase a knife 90% on steel after shape has been considered and not aesthetics ... the same blade with a different handle either 2x or 1.5x the original which already had a nice handle. I know fit and finish is important but it's not as though one can't smooth edges or correct tiny bevel issues. Also a good wa handle is like $20 but a little sand paper and some tung oil is all that's needed
this is the best chef's knife video on youtube. thank you for making this!!
Thank you for this excellent video on kitchen knives. WOW, so much to consider.
Highly knowledgeable I enjoyed watching and hopefully learning from it when purchasing a knife in future
Ok this video started out slowly but man he knows his stuff. I learned more from this video about knives than the last 10 I’ve seen.
Nice knives and informative presentation. I got that wustof classic ikon for a friend's milestone birthday. He seemed happy with it as well ..after a while anyway.
Very educational video about knives, I've learned a lot, keep these videos coming! Thank you very much for your amazing content.
Very nice intro for pro. I will share it with all my young new bees...thanks for millions...can not wait to see more of you online. Best regards!
It's too bad that over 500 people decided to thumbs down this video...
It is such a wealth of information, presented by a man who knows his craft AND wishes to share it with people.
I knew about half of the information that Mr. Holly presented but he filled in the other half.: Passion, knowledge and eloquence will get me, every time.
Well worth the watch!
Hiro's son: Dad please read me a bed time story! Its 10pm already...
