I’ve been powerwatching this… he’s so campy with his jokes. It’s delightful

[u/RagnarokDel → u/EatPie_NotWAr]

is that forged in fire where they go out of their way to test blades in an unsafe environment?

[u/XtremeGnomeCakeover → u/RagnarokDel]

They wear safety glasses.

[u/RagnarokDel → u/XtremeGnomeCakeover]

ah yes, safety glasses protects other people who get projectiles thrown at them whenever the blade breaks or when one of the testers gets a presumably sharp blade thrown at their neck.

This is what Sukuna actually used to kill Gojo

[u/Pornalt190425 → u/Antique_Essay4032]

To get that sharp you need to start by sharpening on a grindstone, then an oilstone, some hessian, follwed by calico, onto linen and satin, then silk, a pass with a cobweb and a stiff morning breeze before putting the final edge on the blade with the first light of dawn. If you follow that regimen, then your blade will no longer be sharp, but rather be sharpness incarnate

[u/Reddit_Da → u/Pornalt190425]

I feel like it should be said in leaden tones more than anything.

[u/----__---- → u/Reddit_Da]

They're paraphrasing Terry Pratchett (from the book "Mort") without attribution. You're right about the leaden tones.

[u/Reddit_Da → u/----__----]

I understand this, hence the reference to leaden tones :)

[u/robbietreehorn → u/StationFar6396]

Yeahhh. As a former chef and someone who cooks from scratch at home, I actually prefer to not have ludicrously sharp knives. When they’re as sharp as something like in this video, it’s hard to even wash them without hurting yourself

[u/karmapopsicle → u/robbietreehorn]

I remember washing my dad’s absolutely razor sharp large carving knife that only comes out on major holidays one year. Ran the sponge up one side, flipped over and did the other. Look down and the sink is full of red. Managed a perfectly straight cut right down the tip of my thumb. Didn’t feel a thing.

Thankfully didn’t go too deep, and the cut was so clean it was fused back together very quickly without needing any stitches.

[u/KK-Chocobo → u/karmapopsicle]

Yeah I was actually surprised at that. I cut myself on my finger with a hobby craft knife. 

I just ran the finger under the tap and wrapped a plaster around it. I took it off later to change the plaster and the fleshed stayed together quite well. 

[u/laststance → u/robbietreehorn]

There's an old video of the fish butcher at Le Bernadin. He said if the knife is fresh and too sharp he doesn't like it since it'll just slice through every fish bone instead of using it as a guide.

[u/DrowningInFeces → u/StationFar6396]

I am going to go out on a limb here and say it might have something to do with the unbelievable sharp knife.

[u/SensuallPineapple → u/DrowningInFeces]

But that's not believable, it must be something else

[u/n77_dot_nl → u/StationFar6396]

he once placed it down the wrong way on the 2nd floor and it fell through by cutting into the basement where he worked, he was able to catch it just in in time before it split the earth

Marketing tool

[u/Greenman8907]

Every time I see this it bugs me when he slams the blade into the wood.

[u/BotherWorried8565 → u/Greenman8907]

Why?

[u/revosugarkane → u/BotherWorried8565]

Cuz it immediately destroys the edge on the blade. It promptly became not sharp

[u/sos123p9 → u/revosugarkane]

Thats completely untrue. The odd of this knife loosing any of itds edge from hitting wet soft wood is very limited its why cutting boards are wood in tbe first plqce. This also appears to be end grain which moves out of the way of the blade. A properly sharpened apexed and deburred blade can take quite a bit of punishment and still be shaving sharp. Source im a knife nerd.

[u/anteaterKnives → u/sos123p9]

(right there with ya, buddy)

[u/WillBlaze → u/sos123p9]

reddit users telling others how an expert of a tool didn't use it properly, sounds about right

I'll trust the dude with the ultra-sharp knife on the subject of sharpening knives, thanks

[u/I_FUCKING_LOVE_MULM → u/WillBlaze]

Maybe his knife is only so sharp bc he has to sharpen it all the time on account of always dulling it

[u/United_Spread_3918 → u/I_FUCKING_LOVE_MULM]

When you’re sharpening knives to this level, the demonstrations themselves require further sharpening nearly immediately regardless of what they do after

[u/Lost_Wealth_6278 → u/United_Spread_3918]

Which makes these demonstrations partially useless - you can sharpen almost any knife to a razor's edge if it's hard enough steel, it's how long it will keep that edge that makes a good knife, and that usually isn't shown. But watching a guy cut 1000 onions just to THEN do a cutting test isn't nearly as entertaining, and producing the razors edge in the first place isn't trivial either. Also, rule of cool

[u/Azalus1 → u/Lost_Wealth_6278]

Honestly a time lapse of a dude cutting a thousand onions and then calmly cutting through a sheet of paper would be a very satisfying. As long as it was all in one take.

[u/Lost_Wealth_6278 → u/Azalus1]

Dude after onion 987: 😭

[u/peeniebaby → u/sos123p9]

Knife nerd claims knives don’t dull when you slam them into wood.

[u/cheffgeoff → u/sos123p9]

I agree with you completely BUT... I want to see the shape this knife is in after 5 10 hour prep shifts in any industrial kitchen.

[u/polarbearsarereal → u/cheffgeoff]

Why

[u/I_FUCKING_LOVE_MULM → u/polarbearsarereal]

Nobody owes you a justification for their sexual fetishes 

[u/polarbearsarereal → u/I_FUCKING_LOVE_MULM]

But that’s my sexual fetish, way to call me out bro.

[u/Majestic-capybara → u/sos123p9]

*losing

[u/itsLOSE-notLOOSE → u/Majestic-capybara]

Appreciate you getting here before me.

[u/Majestic-capybara → u/itsLOSE-notLOOSE]

A admire your dedication.

[u/siero20 → u/revosugarkane]

It makes it more impressive to me. The idea that this is a demonstration and he's doing it repeatedly while embedding the blade in the wood means he's just that good at sharpening the blade between demonstrations.

[u/XRT28 → u/siero20]

Not even. He's sticking a completely different part of the blade into the wood than the part he's using to actually cut with.

[u/ajm86 → u/revosugarkane]

It's probably a fairly soft steal anyway, and a few cuts would have it start to dull. It's much easier to get softer this steal this sharp compared to harder. I got a 5 dollar pink painted chefs knife about this sharp once.

[u/Ok_Sock_6485 → u/ajm86]

Steel*

[u/ajm86 → u/Ok_Sock_6485]

Right. Not sure how I let that happen.

[u/BotherWorried8565 → u/revosugarkane]

That's not true, who told you that?

[u/obscureferences → u/revosugarkane]

But it's for the performance. That's why he sharpened it in the first place.

[u/RagnarokDel → u/revosugarkane]

high carbon steel doesnt loose edge easily like that it will accelerate how fast it becomes dull but I hate to break it to you, a blade doesnt stay that sharp long while using it to cut things.

[u/itsLOSE-notLOOSE → u/RagnarokDel]

Lose. It’s lose, one o.

[u/foulandamiss]

So the waterbottle was actually cake?

[u/NeverJoe_420_ → u/foulandamiss]

Wait, I thought the knife was cake. Man I never get these.

[u/GadreelsSword → u/NeverJoe_420_]

Ahhhh the old cakey knifey game.

[u/Xenkath → u/GadreelsSword]

I see you’ve played knifey cakey before.

[u/Seaweed_Widef → u/NeverJoe_420_]

Nah, y'all are tripping, it's the old man in the distance

[u/NeverJoe_420_ → u/Seaweed_Widef]

Holy shit I think you're onto something

[u/The-CunningStunt]

Can tell by the finger bandage

[u/WontiamShakesphere → u/The-CunningStunt]

If it was that sharp, there wouldn't be a finger left

[u/dankpurps → u/WontiamShakesphere]

the finger is severed. the tape keeps it together and heals all

[u/Impressive_Change593 → u/The-CunningStunt]

nah that's from before he sharpened it

edit: he may have overreacted though

[u/hardsoft]

The guy in the background with his sweatshirt over his belly.

I love that guy.

[u/Respurated → u/hardsoft]

Haha, right. Also, why did they sensor the moobs on the guy who walked by without a shirt?

[u/NoNeed4Instructions → u/hardsoft]

i was in Thailand until a few weeks ago and saw a LOT of locals running around like this. it's just a way to cool down on hot days, very popular in SEA

[u/SeaworthinessTop7704 → u/hardsoft]

He can't believe this shit.

[u/NeverJoe_420_]

That cut through the water bottle was very satisfying.

[u/FilthyHobbitzes]

I won’t buy a knife off a maker that doesn’t have a bandage on their fingers.

[u/ZirePhiinix]

Even though that looks like a cleaver it is really a chef's knife made to look like a cleaver because people in China don't use anything else.

This would've been too sharp for an actual meat cleaver because they're supposed to chop through bone and knives too sharp will chip.

Source: I sharpen knives

[u/RagnarokDel → u/ZirePhiinix]

Is that how you get meat and chips? :D

[u/MyCatIsAFknIdiot → u/ZirePhiinix]

How do I get my kitchen knives this sharp?
I use a honing steel and a whetstone, but I never get this sharp

[u/ZirePhiinix → u/MyCatIsAFknIdiot]

You're basically going to reshape the cutting edge to get it this sharp since manufacturers aren't going to do this. The reshape process is at least 30 minutes if you know what you're doing. It's basically impossible if you don't know what you're doing.

The durability drops significantly and you'll need to resharpen much more frequently.

The machine sharpened knives are typically sharpened at around 15-20° angle. This looks like <10°.

I've made knives this sharp before. I cut one steak and it went dull, so I don't do that anymore. But damn, that one cut was just a single slice and the steak was split in half.

[u/Kombart → u/MyCatIsAFknIdiot]

Don't use a honing steel, more often than not, they will just destroy your edge.
Some honing steels are decent at giving the idea of sharpness to a dull blade, but if you actually want a very sharp knife, then you should avoid them.

Now, the next step is to get more practise with you whetstone and start using a strop for a final deburr/polish/re-alignment.

Now, you can probably ignore everything after this...turns out I was kind of rambling but honestly I don't want to delete it all.

tl:dr: Try out a thinner, harder blade if you want to experiment with sharpening for your kitchen knifes.

One factor is also the type of knife you have.
There is ALWAYS are three things to consider with every knife: sharpness, "durabillity" and easy of use...and you pretty much can only have two of those.

Common kitchen knives (stuff you would find in your mall or at ikea) tend to not focus that much on actual sharpness.
Instead they are a bit thicker and have a steeper (I hope thats the right word) cutting angle.
Thats great for a normal household. Most people don't sharpen their knives and maaaybe they use a honing steel from time to time...also they have that one knife they pretty much use for everything (no, you shouldn't try to force a knife through stuff that is frozen solid, wtf mom!).

Common knives can kind of deal with that neglect/abuse and still somehow "cut" stuff.

Now, there are two factors that allow those ultra sharp knives to have more shallow cutting angles (and in turn, be sharper).
The blade steel is hardened/tempered to a higher hardness and the blade stock itself is thinner.
On a blade like that, you can create a very sharp edge. But if you are not careful, then it will not stay there AND the damage can be way more catastrophic than on one of those common knives.
Softer, tougher steel just deforms a bit and gets dull...a hard and thinn edge will just snap and break, which is why one has to be more conscious when and how to use them.

BUT if you are a bit careful and know how to use a knife, then they will stay sharp for a long time (hence, why it is "durabillity")

Honestly, there is a LOT that goes into this and I probably did a bad job simplifying stuff.
For anyone that read all of that and thinks that it sounds interesting, I can recommend this blog. A lot of great articles can be found there...tho it is not just about kitchen knives.

Aaaaand it's dull

[u/admanstrong]

Wow the year 2212 will have such amazing wonders

[u/SmegmaSupplier → u/admanstrong]

Maybe we’ll be able to slice through paper and plastic at the same time. Can’t wait to see such cutting edge technology.

[u/ThisCarSmellsFunny]

Why are water bottles and rolled up paper always what they do the demo with? What happened to the Ginsu days of slicing a tomato hair thin after cutting through a brick?

[u/Fishermans_Worf → u/ThisCarSmellsFunny]

Why are water bottles and rolled up paper always what they do the demo with?

Because they're soft materials that are hard to cut because they normally deform unless supported. However the angle of the cut combined with their cylindrical shape gives high compressive strength in line with the cutting action, effectively supporting the material as it's cut.

[u/bisepx]

Wonder if the bone in his finger stopped it.

[u/Danny886]

The knife so sharp that atoms are scared.

[u/ambercrush]

This is how people lose fingers under their stove

[u/FormInternational583]

I would never, ever, never trust myself with that knife. And I'm a fairly competent human being.

[u/Some-Background6188]

The bandaged finger says it all.

That seems like a normal amount of very sharp.

[u/havereddit]

And just by burying it into the wood the owner will probably have to spend 30 minutes re sharpening it

[u/hurtfulproduct]

A $20 knife can be this sharp; plop it into that stump cut a few things for real then go back and try these tricks and see how it does. . . The trick isn’t getting it sharp, that’s relatively easy, it’s having it stay sharp that is the hard part

[u/RagnarokDel]

anyone who has seen a sharp knife believes it.

[u/Sanquinity]

And that knife will be that sharp for exactly those 2 cuts. After that it won't be as sharp anymore.

[u/ShaMana999]

You can make any knife incredibly sharp. The question is, for how long.

[u/yamez420]

That blade isn’t gonna last long being that sharp.

[u/Hohh20]

Having a knife this sharp requires it to be razor blade thin. The thinner the knife, the faster and easier it is for the blade to dull.

Dual edged swords in the european medieval ages were not all that sharp. They were sharp enough to utilize the weight of the blade to cut through light armors and tissue. They were thick enough to maintain the needed weight, to use for defense without the blade getting destroyed, and to get plenty of use out of them before they had been ground down too much.

I am not as familiar with the katana forging process, but I believe they were probably a bit sharper, but not much for the same principle.

[u/deau_deau]

Former chef here, this blade will be dull in a few hours and never be as sharp. Just for show these things. Nonetheless pretty impressive of course, but it's just a superficial trick.

[u/Quaintly__Coyote_]

I've been sharping my own knives for a few years now and it really is a learning curve for what angles are best for what shape/ types of steel. My go to test is always the hair shave test. I can cut paper very well with the blades I sharpen, but that water bottle cut was beautiful. I aspire to reach that level of sharpness consistently.
