The knife I'm reviewing is from @eddworks and has its original product page here: https://www.eddworks.com/products/absolutely-nothing
The knife fits perfectly onto my board and matches perfectly the colors of my cutting boards. For the price ($1), it's really got to be one of the best pieces I've ever used before. I'm so enthusiastic about this new budget line that I can't help but share with others.
Performance
This knife goes through product like it absolutely doesn't exist. It can do sub-millimeter horizontal cuts on thick products like sweet potatoes without moving the product around at all. Horizontal cuts on onion dices are effortless. And carrot bisection doesn't make a sound.
I'm really surprised actually at how little sticking this knife experiences for how thin it is - it should theoretically be super sticky given the flat grind, but I suspect there may be some quantum effect at play.
Choil shot kind of tells the whole story (zoom in to see how thin it gets at the edge!)
Finally, the distal taper is really impressive. You almost can't see the spine at all as it approaches the tip.
Unboxing and packaging
I was really impressed with the care that the knife was packed with and yet how little waste needed to ship. It's so heartwarming to see sustainable environment practices being adopted by artisan knifemakers.
Conclusion
For the price, you really can't beat this knife. I went ahead and picked up a second as a gift for the next time a friend asks me for a "real artisan knife".
