    Would love to see a follow-up after you've used the scissors a lot. Seems like the flat edges in the finger holes would cut into your thumb moreso than ones with rounded edges. Also would like to know if they work the same for left or right handed use.

    Sg2 and other powdered steel are better than vg10, harder, better edge retention, usually tougher but cost at least 3 times more than the tojiro

    Nice video. I do like good kitchen equipment. Not one for cheap plastic tat, especially "uni-taskers". Give me good, well thought out & well made any day. You may have to equip your kitchen over time due to price, but they last longer, do the job better & save money/resources in the long run. Though last year I did buy some hand made knives from Germany that were imported from Vietnam. They were amazingly low priced but work as nicely as my more expensive ones. I also like good copper pans. Bar the copper & silver one I bought from you, most of mine as old tin lined copper ones that carefully bought online 2nd hand that didn't need re-tinning. So I've curated a full set of top notch pans at a fraction of the cost.

    Désolé mais en tant que gros nerd de couteaux, non le VG-10 n'est pas ce qui se ferait de mieux en stainless, ca serait plutot le SG-2/R2. Quoi qu'il en soit, excelent choix le Tojiro DP :) Concernant la planche, elle est plus dure et lourde parce qu'elle a un core en bois. C'est le top, félicitation !

    • @duene2k
      @duene2k Před 32 minutami

      Another knife nerd here. I fully agree, SG-2 steels are great. Easy to sharpen & stay sharp very long. Also the western bevel is not really easier to sharpen, but easier to use. On a single bevel knife the knife will veer to one side when cutting, western beveled knifes don't.

    Love this! I have a bunch of rubber boards in different colours for safety. They are easier to sanitise because I can just put them in the sink with some bleach that I wouldn’t want to do with a wood board. I have a wooden board as well which I only use with vegetables. My advice for buying cutting boards. Get the largest board that fit in your sink.

    I have that knife. It's not as fancy as carbon-steel blades, but it will probably last 200 years. It's very satisfying to use, but it's kind of stiff if you like slightly "bendy" knives. I love it. Great value.

      @@JackHudler I was being silly, but it is for real and honest built like a tank, and the handle is not fancy but it's very solid. As I said, the blade is kind-of stiff, and that's due to the hardness (and thickness) of the steel. Still, a great all-around knife *especially* for the price.
