UPDATE/RECOMMENDATION: I get a lot of messages asking what I recommend in place of the Serbian chef knife. My recommendation is the Daovua Kiri Cleaver. There is a V3 of it out made with 52100 steel. Head over to TokushuKnife.com and look for the Dao Vua Kiri Cleaver. You can also use my coupon code RAF10 to get 10% off your order. DISCLAIMER: I am not an affiliated with Tokushu Knife, nor do I get any percentage off sale if you use the coupon code. I work with them a lot, so they created a code exclusive for my subscribers/viewers. Cheers and thanks for your support of the channel!! 🙏😃
This is sold out, any secondary recommendation? Looking for an all in one knife to replace the whole kitchen set as the Promaja advertises. Or how about a fish filet knife recommendation?
Thanks for the honest review...I was looking at the Cooking Guild version of this knife....probably comes out of the same factory....looks like you saved a lot of people some cash...thanks again!
Found this video after going down a rabbit hole chasing reviews for this knife, trying not to be so impulsive. This was the first honest review I encountered and it confirmed everything I knew in my heart to be true. Probably fun to use and looked cool, probably not worth the price. Subbed.
Thank you so much for the support! 😊🙏 glad my review is helpful. I feel that a lot of reviews are not transparent enough or that they try to be too nice. But it doesn't benefit the viewers.
Respect! Thank you for being transparent, real, and straight forward with us about your experience with Coolina. I have been looking at Coolina knives for a while and wanted to know more about this nice specifically. Thanks brother!
You are welcome and am glad my review helped! I have gotten several messages from people who bought their knives recently and said that they didn't have the same issues. Maybe they have corrected them but definitely want to share to be unbiased 😃 thanks for supporting the channel! 🙏🙏🙏
Just got one today as a Christmas present. I didn’t see any care instructions so started looking on-line and came across your two reviews. Thanks for being honest and not compromising. It’s what all content creators need to do. Mine didn’t have the issues your’s did. I inspected the tang and saw no alignment issues or gaps. Blade seemed straight to me. Blade did have hammer indents but I believe the edge was straight as far as I can tell. 100% agree about the sharpness. Just sliced some radish for posole. It cut really clean and smooth as you described. Now let’s see if mine develops the pitting or discoloration like your’s did.
Maybe they have improved their quality? So glad to hear yours don't have any of the issues. Maybe mine was a one off? It definitely is enjoyable and gets sharp. Thanks for watching and supporting the channel! 😃🙏
You are very welcome! So glad the video came in handy. I think you will still like them for Christmas, but you can find it cheaper on Amazon or ebay. Thank you for your support! 🙂🙏
Thanks for saving me money on this mess. Seen an ad since I’m looking for knives on Instagram and went to find some reviews and this is clutch. Nice channel as well, new sub
Thank you both! I have to clarify that this is for the coolina knife. I have yet to review the original almazan knife, so I don't want to condemn the whole style. I appreciate the support! 😊🙏🙏🙏
I appreciate you being honest about it. You just saved me a lot of money on a Chinese knife that I can get on Amazon for less than $40 bucks. Keep up the good work!
UPDATE ON QUALITY: There are several viewers that have messaged me and shared their experience. They purchased their Coolina knives and don't experience any of the fit and finish/warpage issue I have. I want to give you all an update to be fair to the product and company. It seems they might have worked to improve their quality control. Which is great news!
Can you do a review on this budget knife i found? It's Serbian as well and the deal seems too good to be true if you know what i mean www.amazon.com/Butcher-Handmade-Grandsharp-Vegetable-Chopping/dp/B08Q4GPQLJ
Damn this is actually the best knife reviewer I've seen in a minute. Don't know how you don't have a lot more subs. We all really appreciate the honesty
Thank you so much for the kind words! That truly means a lot. RUclips has a mind of its own but slowly but surely we will get there 😁 thank you so much for your support! 🙏🙏🙏
As a bladesmith I like the style and have made a couple similar to it. Namely made the handle a little more ergonomic with good fit and finish and with a heat treat I know is correct. If you have to hone the knife in the middle of food prep, then the heat treat is off. Even at 57-58 RC you should have no issues with 1095 holding a good edge. It might be more to do with how it's sharpened and if it's got a wire edge, but I suspect a poor heat treat.
Totally agree with you here! I think that is a big part of what sets apart a good knife and a subpar knife is the proper heat treat. If the heat treat is bad, no amount of anything can fix it unless they are going to anneal and re heat treat. Which, most people don't have the equipment to re-heat treat 😀
You are welcome! There are definitely cheaper serbian knives out there. I recommend the daovua kiri cleaver. Thank you for watching and supporting the channel! 😃🙏
Thanks for saving me from buying this knife. I was really set on picking it up for Christmas and your review really helped. Thanks for the honest review!!!
I’m fine with using a cheap knife if it’s something easy to maintain. You should get what you pay for, but proper care could extend the lifespan of the tool and boosts it’s worth
@@BetweenTwoForks mostly veggies and fingers. kidding about the fingers. found some cheap ones here. www.lazada.com.ph//products/i1831250683-s7792670187.html?spm=a2o4l.cart.0.0.5f8b3e17zNE12p&urlFlag=true
@@BetweenTwoForks i find it interesting that you see street vendors (poor) who use knives every day and they do fine without the expensive fancy knives. how do they do it?
Esshh!! I totally fell for the Coolina advertising and bought 2 knives that just shipped a day or two ago. I wish I was smart enough to research and watch your reviews PRIOR to purchasing, because I definitely would have looked into a better company! I'm keeping my fingers crossed that, as you said in a recent comment, they improved their quality control and I don't feel ripped off! Thanks for sharing.
They are definitely good are shoveling their advertising down our throat lol. I will keep my fingers crossed that their quality meet your expectation. We plan on expanding on other kitchen gear, so if you are interested, stay tuned. Thanks for watching and supporting the channel! 😃🙏
What sort of BBQ does he do? For most BBQ, I think a large slicer is real good. If you want a knife with a bit more character like the Serbian style knife. I really like the Daovua Kiri Cleaver instead. Or the Kitchen Knives ID are also really good choices. Something like a 240mm gyuto.
Thank you so much for supporting the channel! I have heard others say they purchased one and didn't have the issues I have. So I want to be transparent and pass the info as well. But there are definitely cheaper ones that you can find on Amazon/ebay 😃
Thank you for a substantive review. You addressed characteristics of knives important to me. Fit and finish, maintenance, holding an edge. This knife was geared towards men wanting that rustic look, cooking on open fire outdoors, prepping on a block of wood. You know, that mucho macho bullshit. Thanks again for your fact filled review and I'll look your other reviews.
You are welcome and thank you for such a complimentary feedback! I can see the appeal of the rugged, rustic, outdoorsy esthetic. But I can't overlook quality or fit and finish to say it is a justification of the "rustic charm". Thank you so much for supporting the channel! 😁🙏
Good review. I'll stick with my vintage chef's knives. Herder's, Henckle's Four Star, Dexter's, some Sabatier's, and a few odd balls, like Gustav's. When I visited Korea, I was able to find something similar at the flea market for about $10.
Thank you! Those are all some great knives and I think you'd be happier with them. In Asia, cleavers like these go for dirt cheap. Almazan made it a novelty item 😊
Saw the original video you got me hooked I got the knife but I do enjoy it but it’s a lot to maintain I got another cleaver type knife that I’m going to use on the daily. I’m probably gonna have my promaja as a show piece or rarely use it!!! Love the channel! And how honest and badass you are also I love all the aprons I’m currently collecting some aprons myself!
Hi! Thank you so much for such a kind comment and thank you so much for your support! Carbon steel knoves are definitely a bit higher maintainace compared to stainless. I am looking to get a few more aprons myself 😁
Thank you for being honest. I knew something was off about them. Anything I see that is a Facebook ad is usually trash. Like choppn knives. They seem like a complete scam.
Yeah, I totally agree! Most of the more reputable knives usually don't spend that much on ad campaigns because part of their advertising is through customer word of mouth.
Just subscribed solely after the first few minutes of this w the shady company trying to get you to pull an honest review. You have a new viewer here. Keep your integrity.
My brother inlaw was sucked into the hype. He bought their set. I bought the same knife you showed for $26. Neither knew of the other's purchase until afterwards. He was snubbing me when I told him it's called a Sebian chef knife. I like carbon steel. I usually prefer it over stainless. I like your brutally honest review.
Glad I heard this first part about the company. I saw their link came up first on a web search for this knife and I am trying to by US made quality products. Any company that asks someone to change their review instead of them changing their product needs to rethink their business model.
I appreciate your honest review and observations of the test copy Promaja. When I came across your video I had already ordered one from Coolina as a 3-knife special. My anticipation of receiving these suddenly sank. I have to say that all three knives arrived in very good condition and do not exhibit any of the warping and fitment issues you describe. For the $216 I paid for three knives I can't say anything bad about them. They are very sharp, the steel is straight and true, and the scales show no gaps or sloppy finishing. On the issue of staining - I own quite a few carbon steel knives (some very expensive) and see no difference in the patina that is developing with the Coolina knives I have compared to others in my collection. I don't want to sound like I am trying to discredit your review, I'm just sharing my experience with the same product. Yes, these are knives that have utilitarian characteristics and not to be compared to the premium brand knives. I did also want to convey the order fulfillment problem I had with my order. Coolina took over 30 days to complete the order, and I didn't get any action from them until I filed an exception with PayPal. The two knives that they had not shipped went out the very next day. In all fairness this was during the holiday season and of course we are still in the middle of a pandemic. Maybe they are only guilty of a lack of customer consideration since they never updated me until I filed a complaint with PayPal.
Hey! I'm so glad that they dont have any of the issues that I experienced. And I don't feel like you are discrediting at all. I am glad other customers are chiming in. As I want to give them an accurate and fair review. I will pin a comment at the top to update to help let others know what other customers are experiencing. This is good news and sorry that it might have dampened your excitement a bit but glad they are able to fix the quality issue. Thanks again for the feedback! 😃🙏

As a bladesmith I like the style and have made a couple similar to it. Namely made the handle a little more ergonomic with good fit and finish and with a heat treat I know is correct. If you have to hone the knife in the middle of food prep, then the heat treat is off. Even at 57-58 RC you should have no issues with 1095 holding a good edge. It might be more to do with how it's sharpened and if it's got a wire edge, but I suspect a poor heat treat.
Totally agree with you here! I think that is a big part of what sets apart a good knife and a subpar knife is the proper heat treat. If the heat treat is bad, no amount of anything can fix it unless they are going to anneal and re heat treat. Which, most people don't have the equipment to re-heat treat 😀
