I love how Chris and Brad are pretty much on opposite ends of the lawful and chaos alignment but yet it makes perfect sense that they'd be the only two people who really know how to sharpen their knives lmao
i want to see an alignment grid of lawful/neutral/chaotic and cleaver/chef's knife/utility knife. brad is chaotic cleaver, molly is chaotic utility, chris is lawful chef's, andy is neutral cleaver, carla is lawful utility...
In case you care who 'whoever' is - it's Matt Hunziker, also known as Hunzi. You can see some of his shenanigans in the second and third part of Brad and Claire making sourdoughnuts ;)
funnily enough sharpening tools is like that. So long as you get a consistent angle and flat sharp edge you did well - many ways to get there... back and forth, across, circles.

The bit of advice that really helped me here was the amount of pressure to use. I’ve tried so many times to sharpen my Wusthof chef’s knife, and even though I’ve had decent results with the cheap Mercer I bought to practice on, I could never get the edge to take on the Wusthof. Turns out what I thought was decent pressure was just two or three pounds once I checked with a scale! Gave it another go and now it’s back in service. Thanks Brad!
As a Chef who loves his knives I can totally understand them! I would talk about Knives with them for a whole weekend. =) Just wondering if there is a Knife-Convention somewhere......=)
Go to a forum where people sharpen and you will witness groups of people doing that. Or about natural whetstones. Or any aspect of blades and sharpening.
Advaita Manikkath Ambat It’s a play off the astrology thing where someone is like a “ I’m an Aquarius and a Jupiter sun, Venus rising”, it’s kinda like a more specific personality chart based on your astrological sign. I’m not an expert in it (nor know what any of it means) but it has something to do with that!! :))
Woah... Hold up. Not all shade is malicious. Among friends it's done in jest. Geez. You do not need to tell Amanda to stfu. We rarely get negativity in the BA comments section. Back tf off. Amanda, rest easy, as 974 people liked/agreed with your comment.
Well yeah, but it would be 15 seconds of Brad watching paint dry followed by 20 minutes of Brad going off on odd but entertaining tangents, followed by another 15 seconds of Brad watching paint dry.
I like how he says “that’s actually a really good tip” and you can tell he’s sort of surprised lol like “hey, that actually wasn’t a useless thing I just said, I’m really proud of myself” 😂
Stop! My husband suggested breeding the great big puppy (German shepherd?) we found and took in, with a golden retriever. They would be Brad. Smart and silly cute and loveable!
Was looking away for the split second when brad said “one direction” and I still was fully certain that hunzi put a picture of one direction up during that part
Gaby: This is gonna be my Halloween costume Brad: Tries to cover up that this was filmed half a year prior to release. Also Gaby: I'm about to end this man's whole career.
Thanks for explaining this in such an easy to follow way, knife sharpening always intimidated me for some reason but the way Brad demonstrated and talked through each step has made it seem way more enjoyable!
the easiest way to know that ur angle doesnt change when sharpening is to listen. if the sound pitch doesnt change, that usually means that ur angle is the same. sorry for bad english
Hunzi is the student; Vinnie, the teacher. Has the dynamic now changed? Or, even more so, has Hunzi truly awakened to a transcendental state of video editing?
As an European it is really surprising how many people in USA can't drive stick shift... I mean... it is not that hard to be honest. I drove a stick shift car on my first day ever driving within just a few minutes practise.
They read my mind all the time. Once I made a butter-basted steak with fennel salad, and they released Carla's recipe video the next day. Another time I was thinking about trying to make empanadas sometime and they released Gaby's empanada video the next day.
I can watch Brad talk about anything and be entertained and happy. even if it might not be a thing I ever do, I learned something and I got to relax listening to his voice being encouraging and informative lol
Why do i get nervous when I see Brad with a knife, as if he's a kid. I keep having to remind myself that he is a seasoned chef and can handle em" giant knives better than i can handle a butter knife...
@@HurrikanEagle It probably is the Boy Scouts thing, they do teach that. But a lot of people who sharpen on the one side do it with the edge coming towards them.
been cut while sharpening before, it's usually better you to edge trailing sharpening so you're less likely to gouge your stone. sharpening towards yourself isn't a huge risk so long as you have the proper grip. and don't have any digits where they can be cut.
@@BloodSprite-tan Yeah, you shouldn't use enough force or place your fingers such that a slip could hurt you. Especially with that apron + whatever he's wearing underneath.
I always hone before I sharpen; stropping is something I've never thought to do on my kitchen knives, and I don't know why I haven't, thanks for the tip!
I’m currently in culinary school and we have a chef professor who’s crazy good at knife sharpening and I would always just watch him in awe at what he was doing. Now I understand all of it. Definitely makes me want to invest some stones!☺️
oh Brad, I watch every video you do, just because of you.. i love the way you explain things and see your natural warmth, you seem a very cosy person, your wife is very lucky!
Convinced I'm willing to watch anything BA puts out at this point.

😂🤣🤣🤣😂 Absolutely!
Watching the final Thanksgiving episode made me realize that I would watch a show where they all lived together.
I sharpen knives semi-professionally and even I watched this video.

Honestly at this point I believe Brad could make washing dishes seem interesting
"First up you want some nice sudsy wourder! "
That's what I imagine he did as a young man getting his start in the industry.
Don't give him ideas😂

In my teenage years I never imagined age 33 I’d be watching a man sharpen knives as a form of entertainment and literally hang on every word.
We live in the future
I’m a teen right now watching this for entertainment 😂

We're all just preparing for the inevitable breakdown of society and the return to basic tools and skills.
This episode should've been named "it's alive: this isn't exactly alive" with Brad Leone...
MT987 mDp

Brad is in his sad boi hours
It's got Energy
This show is becoming “Basics with Brad”
“it's a knife”
Did that "And most importantly, take care of yourselves" hit anyone else directly in the heart??
Maybe the "It's Alive" is less about whatever Brad's doing, and more about how I feel when I click a new video with him in it
“Halloween is coming up”
“What? Halloween?” *checks watch*
“Well it probably will by the time this video gets posted”

Did you see RT's stream/video about watching paint dry? It was his biggest stream too.
a little wouder, evape-o-rating
Of course because it would come with a funny, somewhat relevant story always staring with "hey bud so you uh..buh uh you know whena..." lol
