Cutting videos

Discussion in 'Tansu Knives' started by chefcomesback, Sep 21, 2015.

  1. I think we're on the same page mostly other than where the emphasis lies, just saying it differently. You have years of technique lol, so you're going to see and feel the benefits of the grind far more acutely than someone like myself. It takes a REALLY good knife for me not to get stiction, like...top 1-2% knives. Knives many chefs have touted as 'AMAZING' when it comes to anti-stiction, stick when I use them :D. But, as long as a knife has good distal taper, it can be made to look like it doesn't stick, even at lower speeds. Higher speeds obviously enhance that effect! Particularly if the chef uses more draw cuts than push cuts.

    Plain, slower chopping motions like you did in your video truly shows the beauty in what you do with your grinds. Using them unsharpened (which you've seen me do as well), tells an even greater story when it comes to the geometry, that plain sharpness often masks.

    Soooo...well done brother!

    I know you don't need my testimonial , but I tried your knife in virtual slow motion, tip to heel. Food release was as good as anything I've used Mert. ( food wasn't bad either ;))

    No way mate , all I know is kitchen knives , not interested in making anything else ( maybe a sword one day :D ) this knife had cosmetic flaws , and I had to test the steel and Christmas tree needed chopping , so we have this .
    I plan on uploading a honyaki yanagiba cutting video soon ( no trees will be cut ,some seafood only )
