Interesting, thanks for sharing!
On another note... this kinda puts a proverbial fly in the ointment for all those who insist that stamped knives can never be as good as a thick, heavy forged knife like my Henckels (or Wusthof)! When working at a kitchen store I heard this so many times.
To be fair there is no such thing as forging that modifies the "molecular structure."Yeah like whats the point of putting a bolster on a stamped blade? Actually, I didn't know that the knifes weren't forged. I can't consider dropping a big weight on a stamped blade as drop forging. the molecular structure isn't getting modified with this kind of process.
Science channel show "Factory made" ep. #58 had an episode, chef's knives, I am guessing, it was shot in the same factory. They do show robot making one pass to smooth the bolster area and spine, making a comment that spine has to be rounded, because the chef may lean on it. How well it is rounded, that's a different matter
Another robot puts 16 per side edge bevel(as they say, "because 16 is optimal edge for cutting"), dunno what the grit is, but pretty rough, because final edge is put by a person, on 240grit belt sander, whole sharpening process takes less than 30 seconds, and human at the end could explain thicker than 16 per side edges...
Ironically, they show how the final knife edge is measured using laser, and you can clearly see (at least in HD it's crystal clear) really bad burr on the edge.
Despite some incorrect commentary, I find those shows quite interesting, for a knife nut. Just to see how things work in factory. I doubt their value for no knife people, because "modern marvels" touted Cutco knives as sharpest knives in the world, "factory made" declared 16 per side as the optimal for cutting and other knife related educational shows has their share of false statements too, e.g. how it's made claimed ceramics knives to be the toughest knives in the world...
Daaaa every one knows Bill Burke knives are the toughest knives in the world, someone has to fill discovery network in.knife related educational shows has their share of false statements too, e.g. how it's made claimed ceramics knives to be the toughest knives in the world...
Your comment may in fact have been prescient, not because the robots are coming, but because they've put so many people out of work (not just the robots, but the capitalist economy).:scared4:
Time to look for another line of work.
:cool2:

There was a time when I could show people my nice knives, and they would ask me where I got them. Not so much any more. I just kind of keep quiet.
I live in a place where you can't go in any direction without driving through miles of vineyards, but whereas in years past my friends would open bottle after bottle of expensive wine, now they're drinking $8.99 wine and talking about how good it is.
