[Iceman91]

Always a joy to watch.

 

[mattrud]

nice vids as always salty. I am interested to hear your comparison of the ks and the honyaki.

 

[Salty dog]

After a few vids and some time on the line I'm going to give a full comparison report.

 

[tk59]

Damn. Just when I was starting to think I was pretty fast, you put this up...

 

[chazmtb]

Scott,

You are a bad a$$.

 

[mr drinky]

I love the rolling cukes. Not only does the blade release the food, it set the food in motion.

k.

 

[99Limited]

Let's see, can a mandolin do a better? Only in it's dreams.

 

[jmforge]

So how would you modify the grind to keep those slices from rolling around the table and hitting the camera?:biggrin: j/k. Impressive chopping.

 

[Salty dog]

I wouldn't. I'd adjust my technique. There was a reason I left the camera on the board.

 

[Salty dog]

I feel compelled to break this out. Forgive me.

Wow! Do I need to practice!!!!!

[tk59]

Every once in a while I think about trying that. The horizontal cuts still scare the crap outta me.

 

[Salty dog]

What's the worst that can happen? You cut yourself?

 

[tk59]

Yeah, like lose a finger! or cut open an artery... Thanks for supplying the voice of reason.

 

[Iceman91]

The end of that video is priceless....... you look like an executioner

[RRLOVER]

Is that your Mizuno.

 

[Salty dog]

Well....I can tell you for a fact you're not going to bleed out from a finger cut. Although I've seen many men go down at the sight of there own blood. Lose a finger? Only on carrots

 

[Salty dog]

Is that your Mizuno.

Of course.

 

[jm2hill]

anyone else's regular speed on cukes the same/slower as Salty's slow motion?

guess its back to practicing for me.

 

[jmforge]

I did have to go to the ER once when I nicked a little artery when I cut off the very tip of my thumb. Showed up using a maxi pad as a pressure dressing. LOL The last time I cut myself badly on the thumb, I played the home version of the game and didn't even have to reach for the super glue. By the way, I had noticed your sign offs in the other videos, but this one was funnier.

if you're using a truly nice and sharp knife, and you know how big the onion is and where it is by touching in, you cut into it justly. You should only be afraid if you're blindly thrusting the blade into the onion. Always realize where your hands, blade, and food object are and create geometry from there; no matter what you're cutting. If you have to manipulate the geometry because your blade is steering, wedging, or not in shape and causing you to use excess force, than you are cutting inefficiently. I cut best when I am just thinking about shapes, where my hands are and need to be, and at what cadence I can perform the task most efficiently (always striving for improvement, of course)

Oddly I played drums for most of my life (haven't in 3 years ) and I feel like I apply the same principles of hand coordination and rhythm/cadence, but now I'm cutting **** with the motions and discipline

...i hope I got the point across, it's ******' late if you know what I mean

 

[tk59]

Okay. So, basically you're saying a caveman should be able to do this and all cooks across the nation should just sharpen their knives and give it a shot... I guess I'll give it a try today... If I don't post in the next few days, you'll know I hit an artery, lol.

 

[Salty dog]

I cut best when I'm not thinking at all.

 

[Mattias504]
