  • A certain company had this video taken down under RUclips's counterfeit policy so I've had to make changes and put it back up. In the video I examined the (in my opinion) marketing lies and false claims attached to a certain infamous knife and took on the challenge of forging a noticeably different and better knife I call the Hoork Herb Chopper. The one-off knife I forge here IS NOT FOR SALE.
    RUclips is awful.

    The original version of this video went up a couple years ago and like Peter's videos about this deceptively marketed product was taken down by RUclips at the behest of the company in question. In this case, my video appears to have been taken down under RUclips's Counterfeit Codes policy. Why hand forging a one-off similar but different and improved knife inspired by a design which is already manufactured by a host of different entities represents counterfeiting only RUclips can say.
    Per their policy the item in question must imitate the brand features of a product in an attempt to pass itself off as genuine and the item is promoted for sale. The knife forged here met NONE of those criteria.
    The title of the original Video "Actually Forging A H&&*K Jap#$*%@ Blade" was aimed at the false marketing claim made by the company who sold me the knife in question that it was 'hand forged' which it was not.
    As best I can tell this policy is aimed at advertisers and not content producers so...?
    The truth is that the original video being taken down amounts to harassment.

    That was awesome. Got a few laughs out of it. Your version was pretty good considering the shape of the thing.
    Yeah I watch Peter's channel, he is brilliant, and a bit off beat as well, and as you are aware, he has torn strips of these knives and the company that makes them. I think he even copped a bit of heat from that company as well. That and people were sending them to him for a laugh and to see what he'd do.

    Really liking the videos, in 5:16 the 0,22mm for control hole are not right, it should be 22,35mm (22,4mm). It's not really that importent but still let me in confusion for a moment.

    I'll never understand how this design became popular. the tip is too high, there's no flat near the heel, the pinch grip curve is too big a radius, there's no distal-taper, the balance is unpleasantly forward, the spine is squared not rounded, the steel and edge geometry is terrible for a culinary knife especially one for veggies, and oh, the giant hole in the middle does nothing. I could go on but what's the point. Anyway, you did a great job recreating it and I respect the attention to detail, and skill required to do this.

    Genuinely curious, why do you harden the tang? I quench up to an inch or 2 past the blade and leave most of the tang soft.

    • @SiliconeSword
      @SiliconeSword 28 дней назад

      Why not? If you temper it back with a torch to a spring temper it'll be super strong and tough, stronger than normalized steel.
      Also the control hole removes lots of material, so strengthening what is left keeps it from bending/snapping

    I have a challenge/request/idea for you. I have just a kydex sheath from one of my favorite fixed blades that turned out to be a one of a kind prototype (didn't know that when I won the auction on eBay), and I unfortunately lost the knife to the Detroit River while fishing. If I sent you the sheath, do you think you could recreate the knife just based on the dimensions?

    Great video, and kudos to you for trying to find something nice to say about that godawful thing. I find the "jack of all trades" marketing hilarious as its only purpose is clearly to make sure this POS shows up in as many searches as possible. Would you buy a saw that was advertised as a "rip-crosscut-miter-keyhole-Japanese-hack-coping-table-radial arm chainsaw, perfect for every task"?? Good grief. IMHO it's even a lousy herb chopper as the edge geometry forces you to swing your arm up and down through a 45 degree angle like you're doing pullups. All I can say is, for $20 it's a great joke gift to give to your office enemy to make their life palpably worse.
