Can't believe I just watched all of this... don't even know where to begin... so tempted to watch his how use a sharpening steel vid, but I think I'd rather just pour hot lead into my left eye and get it over with. :eek2:

All I'm gonna say is "yana-GEEBA" !

That cutting board looks thirsty.

This thread is killing me lmao! Oh I love the clever lady. WOW! I just can't wrap my head around that. All these years she thought she knew what she was doing lmao!
 
aaaah self crowned experts of misinformation who refuse to listen and aren't prepared to learn, why, why WHY:spankarse:
 
Ok, let me get this straight. There is no primary bevel, but two secondary bevels. So, if we go by this absolutely brilliant logic, I could come in second in a race even though nobody finished ahead of me :stinker:.
 
He speaks of a "primary cutting edge", which to my mind requires that there be a secondary cutting edge somewhere. Of course, if both sides of the knives are indeed parallel and not tapered, maybe the secondary cutting edge is on top of the blade?

Haha, I was wondering myself where the secondary cutting edge is.
 
My favorite is when he talks about "point A" and "point B" ... as he points to the same spot both times.
 
I took a look at his website (yes he does have one) and he describes his job: "In my daily life I work as a retail cutlery store manager (the largest cutlery store in the Western United States)". I wish he had named it so I would know what to stay clear of.
 
I was at Williams-Sonoma today and overheard a saleswoman selling a man a new chef's knife. It was painful. Both sides of the conversation.

Lol I just had the same experience listening to someone at sur la table. My tastes for cooking equipment and knives have gotten more and more specific.

I once had some time to kill at a mall, so I went into a Bed, Bath & Beyond and stood around in the knife section until someone showed up to help. I said "If I were going to replace the old knives in my house with new ones as a gift to my wife, what would you suggest I do?" And let the guy talk from there. I didn't even have to pretend or act, I just listened and he guided me through everything from knives to blocks to cutting boards to honing rods. I learned a lot. Not about knives, but I did get quite and education on marketing, public perception, common knowledge, casual user preferences, and retailer/manufacturer mindset. I heartily recommend it...if you have the patience!
 
That reminds me: one of my specialty areas is motivation for health behavior change and motivational and supportive communication strategies for health professionals. The by far best example for the application of all these strategies on an expert level I found when I talked to an Indian carpet salesman in Jaipur, Rajasthan. Incredible skills, if I had had the funds, I would have invited him to give a seminar at the university.

O.k., that may not be true for any of the 'usual' knife salespeople we come across, but I just had to think about it...

I had to watch this a few times just to fully take in all of the carrot abuse, dish scrubbie misappropriation, weird lighter-gun and cross-fade transitions, amazing sound track, and random skull ring. The French do knuckle head or "la tête jarret" with a special kinda flair.

Just wanted to point what the guy says at the end:
Don't play with the basics: never do that ;)

Great thread btw :)

I just noticed that i have a tendency to be banned by knuckleheads.. but we've all seen how Giovanni takes criticism. (even when it's just on his products.)

Chefgiovanni might not be a cleaver-lady type of knucklehead. But i've always found him to act like a silly kid while lacking knowledge.

This is great.

"Even in the box, perfect balance, shape, feel."

I love how he dons a chainmail glove to ensure his own safety while sawing through a tomato. What would he think if he saw Salty skin a tomato without even holding it in place?
 
Oh, "The Chef" is one of my favorites. Anyone that every thought that Mark is a bit too salesmany, has never seen the best from Chef's Depot.

However, I see that The Chef, like many other dinosaurs, is still using stones. He has yet to realize the amazing sharpening (and auditory) symphony that is the Rada Sharpener:

TURN YOUR SPEAKERS UP! ERRREREERRRREEEEE!!!!!

@45 seconds... "Place ABOUT three fingers" :confusedsign:
 
Yeah, that sound is pretty disturbing. It was like the knife was crying. And that is one fine piece of mirror-polished cutlery he is 'sharpening'. It is so hard to believe that anything could top that factory edge.

k.
 
Just loved the screech; always loved that "nails on a blackboard" sound.

Yeah, the nakiri knife is really sharp, really sharp
 
Yes. From today I will do the same.

The results are extraordinary. You can see on the tomato, how super scary shapr the knife is!
