That $159 knife is waaaaaaaaay nicer and waaaaay more worth it than the $800 one.
Nathan Carrille I know. I don’t understand why everyone wants to pay 800$ for a knife make from scrap. As a knife maker I could make the exact same product as her and I wouldn’t sell it for more than 150$ maximum. If I pay 800$ for a knife I want one made from new steel and probably from Damascus.
Hipsters ruin everything
White girl tends to overvalue their products, in Japan $800 usd could get you a blue steel knife crafted by a legendary blacksmith.
Trevor ikr
Actually for $159, you can get a hand forged knife made by a Japanese smith. Look at Japanese Knife Imports or Chef Knives to Go.
She made a knife from a piece of scrap metal. No forge, no tempering/ Damascus patterns, nothing that you’d expect from a standard knife making process. Just a plasma cutter, a bench grinder, and a belt sander. $800??? Think of what that means relative to the Japanese knife too. That means it’s literally six times more expensive than the Japanese knife. Now I don’t know about anybody else, but if someone offered me a horse rasp knife clearly made in someone’s backyard vs. 6 super high quality Japanese made kitchen knives, it’s not even a question about what I’d choose.
Cool video though.
Ikr "hey look at this barely high carbon steel that's super used and has a ton of stresses, you know what's that great for? Knives"
Supply and demand I guess. I would never pay $800 for a knife like that, but it looks interesting and if people are willing to pay for it - then that's on them.
@@temlan3042 Virtually everything you said is wrong and/or irrelevant. Farrier's rasps are extremely hard - I know, I've ground a few, in fact I've got 3 sitting here - SaveEdge, BlackMaster, and a Heller. Definitely over 60-61 HRC - so they're certainly high carbon steel. Much talk on BladeForums about that. They also agree (as do I!) they don't make great knives, at least not chef knives - but not for THAT reason, OR your others for that matter. So what if it's used, and/or "has a ton of stresses" (which I kind of doubt, but doesn't matter anyhow)? She DOES heat treat them -- you, CookerSeven4 and a bunch of other folks here just assumed she doesn't because it wasn't in THIS video - but you dint KNOW, didja. (Look on her website under Video, e.g. the Budweiser video at 1:33). AGAIN - I'm not a big fan of her knives, and I'm not saying they're great - I'm just saying that most of the dissing here of her knives is pretty amateur armchair criticism from people who don't know what they're talking about.
OMG exactly!!
Also not a massive fan of that knife, but I feel I should point out that some of the top handmade Japanese knives are literally made in the creator's back yard. Some of these guys don't make very much money at all. I think the thing is that you can buy a ridiculously good factory made knife in Japan for about $100 US. It will last you your entire life if you take care of it. In terms of utility, spending more won't get you a better knife, though people always have their preferences. If you buy a handmade knife, the money is going to the craft person. It's a piece of art. They have a limit to how many they can make in a year and so have to charge more. Whether or not it's worth it to you depends on how much it speaks to you. Again, if you think of it as a 1 time only lifetime purchase, probably any good knife you can buy is worth the price.

I remember hearing a quote from a long time ago. “A smith can go to hell for two reasons; for hitting cold iron and and for not charging enough.” This is the perfect example of someone who should probably go to hell for scamming people out of hard made cash.

$800 for a re-purposed horseshoe grinder....
re using the metal isnt the bad part, the bad part is that she doesnt work it out to make a piece of art... man, even legendary knife smiths doesnt charge that much on their knifes

Her process was messy and didn’t put any time. It was just a knife.
@@hazardous458 indeed
Danilo Espinoza Pino Knives that cost that much are usually art pieces that look spectacular, a lot of craftsmanship and good quality materials.
@@daniloespinozapino4865 I dunno I think my great uncle Dwight Towell's "knives"(daggers) went for around that price range. But then those are acid etched blades, with stone and/or gold inlaid handles and are actual pieces of fine craftsmanship.
*Dude tries to impress Rie*
"Don't do that."
I used to work on knives actually! Chelsea is scamming you guys, I wouldn’t charge that much for a knife unless it was made from high quality materials. Let alone a horseshoe grinder, I’m not even sure if she tempered those knives or not. Korin is absolutely the way to go in terms of value here.
Not to mention she didn't even make the effort to at least re-forge them into a regular knife blade, its an insanely cheap, low quality knife that she made out of the scraps of her father's yard.
Actually one of the advantages with using a rasp or file is that you don't have to temper it, if you know what you're doing... She obviously doesn't, she ruined the temper with the plasma cutter, but still.. 🥲😂
I can easily get to the Korin store myself so I may consider going there just to visit. Of course, I myself use cheap af knives from Mercer.
On her site, she says the blades are heat treated..
@@phillipvansickle4220 I was going by what I saw in the video at the time, and she may have started heat treating them now but this video is old lmao.

I make knifes and that’s how most hand made knifes are made or they are forged but people who make a lot of knifes quickly will cut them out with a NCN or water jet and then have the bevels ground etc anyway a lot of people use recycled materials to make knifes because it’s much cheaper and better for the planet
@@georgeporter1295 nothing wrong with stock removal, but her grinds are absolute dogwater. I mean genuinely awful, I’d give her a B - in a high school shop class for that work

I’m trading a hand made high carbon steel knife for some deer antler
@Daniel S. Wow. You know enough to identify 1095 steel (which is what is commonly used in good files and rasps) but then you call it a "low carbon steel"?! You are showing a bit of ignorance - 1095 is actually a high carbon steel and considered an excellent choice for cutlery (if you are going non-stainless).
There are other issues (in my opinion) with the $800 Chelsea Miller custom, but the choice of steel is not one of them.
Yeah, in the grand scheme of steel, "low carbon" steels are practically useless for making knives or other tools. From my understanding, a low carbon steel won't even harden properly and even the cheapest knives are technically made from "high carbon" steel.
$800 for a knife made via stock removal?
What a rip off.
There’s plenty of blacksmiths that make great forged knives for half that much.

I love how she basically admitted she made it from the scraps of her father's backyard and tried spinning that into a good thing.
Also, wouldn't high carbon steel like the one in a horseshoe filer be pretty terrible for a knife blade because those tend to be brittle which means a knife that is more likely to microfracture and lose it edge?

It is easier to scam people than convince people that they are scammed. I’ve been scammed before too buying knife on amazon. Strictly talking about Chelsea Miller knife, let’s talk design not just steel. This knife would grate all my ingredients to a pulp with all juices run all over the cutting board. It’s like a food processor except has no place in the kitchen. I would not pay $10 for it unless am looking to give my horse 1 last pedicure right before I stab it to death. The point of a knife is to cut food so cleanly to preserve the essence of the ingredient, avoid destroying/crushing as much tissue as possible so the flavor is preserved and not all over the cutting board. And the knife with a good steel good tempering would hold it a edge for days or weeks before needing touch up. What’s kind of steel or heat treatment do these horse rasps have? There are laser cut knife non forged knife but they still heat treat/ temper it after because cutting the steel and grind it subject it to unnecessary heat that requires the steel to be tempered so the steel is tougher/ less brittle but retain its edge longer. Like baking, It is a very precise and controlled process. Even large manufacturers have trouble, i.e some have better heat treatments than others. She did none of that process. The horse rasp probably made from tool steel which is a decent option for knife if forge/heat treat correctly, except it rust and will requires extra care comparing to stainless alloy, I can go in depth with the tried and true stainless or carbon steel but too much. How you even clean the knife probably with all the nooks and crannies it have on the sides, room for bacteria to get in and be imparted in your food and moisture the remain and rust the knife. There is much more I can say but it will become an essay.
"1 last pedicure before I stab it to death" lol

There's a number of female custom knife smiths out there and some are charging similar prices for much smaller fold-able knives ie.

Yeah it's kind of a shame to spend that much on a knife made of junk steel if you're planning to use it in the kitchen... more of a decorative piece than anything. Knives made from aogami super can be had for well under $200 and will take and hold an edge far better. I'm guessing that the middle knife in this video was easily the best performer here.

I was literally yelling at my phone in anger lol that is the biggest scam/rip off for a knife of that cost but she probably sells them because she’s a hipster in a hipster city and they think it’s cool. Uhhh shitting on real knife makers lady! (Btw my first knife I ever made when I was younger was from a horse rasp and it looked just as good if not better I was 12)
Batali and Massimo Batura both use her knives. Even if it doesn't have the same beautiful process as a damascus I'm not going to argue with some of the best chefs in the world about the quality of the knives.
Agreed
It's a metal rasp used for filing horse shoes. Those "grooves" in her food processing blade have ancient fecal matter impacted on them. Nothing abrasive blasted or cleaned out. This hipster is selling $20 worth of materials at best for $800 and being put on by shows and famous people because of her family connections. She is not a bladesmith. And a JOKE to the entire REAL industry of knifemaking.

"My father was a blacksmith, so it's in my blood from a very young age"

Seriously, horseshoe filing steel? What the hell is that, expensive knives from high end companies like miyabi and wusthoff have millions of dollars of r&d put into their steel to sell it for 200$. Just grabbing scrap steel lying around is not how you make an expensive knife.
Theres no attention to the composition of the steel, it's not forged, the tempering process is just half assed. What a crappy overpriced knife.
dos Santos not to mention the material she use is crap, Japanese knife would be using high end white or blue steel knife and be like ¥30000 ($300) at most
Right! Where is the heating process, the bevel forming, and the quenching?
Seriously. For 800 bucks it better be forged Damascus and purpleheart handle with a full flat grind and drop point sharpened to 10,000 grit.
She's actually pretty smart IMO. She's riding on the current "repurpose" trends hence made a business out of it. From the metal to even the wood, everything was more or less garbage and remade for hipsters to froth over. I wouldn't be surprised in the next year, the handles will be made of ocean plastics to ride on that trend.
It was never about the knife quality, since the customer that will be buying it rarely cooks, more about being trendy
lol the 800 knife was just simple wood & homemade sharpened high carbon steel but price put through roof
But it gives you purpose 😅 whatever that minds
Wearing gloves while using a bench grinder is unsafe...
There are so many more talented makers for even $300 (fixed blade/chefs knife) I can't believe shes charging $800 for what is considered rudimentary by anyone who has spent time behind a grinder.

That 800 dollar knife was garbage. Just cutting steel and putting a handle on it. U could tell itvwasnt even that sharp when they tried to cut the onion lol
@@ruben247 Exactly! Must be such a pain to clean everytime!
Forging the metal for a knife stresses the metal, hence the tempering aspect of the forging process to allow the structure of the metal to conform causing it to have better hardness and toughness. The more you mess with the metal temperature (hence cutting out of steal instead of forging) the more likely the structure will be less uniform. So unless you are and word class blacksmith with the highest degree of extremely expensive tools it is almost always better to cut out the knife from high quality steel. But I do agree the $800 price tag is not even close to being what it should be sold for because she doesn't seem like a world class blacksmith with world class tools.
It's not a knife for the masses. It's for with too much money and want their friends to ask about their knife so they can tell the story about. Literally exactly what she said they're for. It's the same market as people buying that goop nonsense.

The woman in the bamboo one looks so happy just look at that beautiful smile
💋 Reminds me of ME
I just watch this to know where Lady (rie's knife) is having Spa day
The way Annie smiled when Rie said "extra-ordinary" 😁😁😁
The voice of the guy from totally bamboo tho
2:01 - 2:09 feels like I was watching a historical documentary
Ofc you bring Rie, she said she loves knifes in make it fancy 😂😂
I remember the “you bring your own knife?”
“You don’t?” 😂😂
That’s why I clicked on this! “I brought my own knife, don’t you?”
12:33 Steven: "Why are you staying so far away Rie?" LOL
Lady: My father was a black
Me: What !!!
Lady:...smith
Is there something wrong?
A scrap metal knife with a grinder finish that can't be effectively cleaned. What a joke
I guess it's just a hazard of the free market, because a rising tide raises all ships people like Miller have the same opportunity to find a market as all the dedicated knife makers and blade smiths out there who are slaving away in their forges or experimenting to get better and better heat treatment with modern steels. If some fools in Brooklyn want to waste $800 hopefully people with more sense will still be able to get functional knives from real artists, usually for cheaper.
@@studyinsteel5186 I don't see the issue. If you want a hipster knife that sucks, go for it!
Not to mention it has old wood attached to it, for that price I would expect mahogany or something
@@scottk.6991 tbf that wood was some good looking, seasoned, spalted wood.
The knife, on the other hand, is a total joke. Even comes with it's own coat of rust xD
$800 for a knife she made in her backyard? I got a couple of forks I made in my basement I could sell - $750 each.
So do it then 😂
Dude. Knives don’t scale the same as forks. $150 each. Tops.
But are they from Vermont??? Which makes them “rustic”.
@venom5809 Pretty sure I just did with this post. Any takers . . . ?
@Andrew yip Thanks for the hipster math tip.
Rie is so anxious with how he was waving the knife around 😂😂😂
You guys are doing great work... Keep it up.
"Everybody needs a Rie in their life"
That's some of the realest sh*t I've heard someone say in my life.
Bleeps out YoYo Ma's name. Perfectly describes him anyway
Why did they bleep it out?
I thought they were being sarcastic with the descriptions.

What a fun and informative video thank you. You are sweet folks. Love to get Rie’s thought on my expensive vast knife collection
No way, the random dude who doesn’t know anything about knives can also grind just as good as Chelsea. Really shows how good of a “blacksmith” she is
You mean Steven? He was doing a horizontal hollow grind of sorts, while Chelsea’s footage seemed to show a linear grind. Just gonna say this outright, the way she taught Steven to grip the knife is more unstable than a college student’s finances. That jittering on the blade was terrifying. The back end of the knife must be braced by the off hand in such a way that it’s like you’re holding a loose fist with your thumb over the side of your index finger (like you’re handing your boss a piece of paper with one hand). Keeping your fingers as far from the grinder as possible is a recipe for an unstable grip on the knife and therefore an unstable grind. Her grind is admittedly more stable than Steven’s, but her grip is still absolutely terrifying.
@@adlirez her grinding technique is the stupidest thing i have ever seen, the plunge lines are non-existent so she cant do flat grinds and none of her lines are gonna be straight at all. I'm a knifemaker and i can confidently say that my first knife looks very similar to her work. id value her knives at around $60 but honestly, i wouldn't sell that crap to anyone
@@leostraker3494 bruhhhhhhh I’m glad I’m not alone with that analysis, and from an actual knife maker! Glad everyone agrees that Chelsea’s knife is bust.
$800 for a recycled piece? Too expensive. Better get a Shun, cheaper, has lifetime warranty and lifetime sharpening.
Preach
Honesty, shun is over-priced as well.
Dain McIlroy not their forged ones
Yeah, Shun is also overpriced. The steel they use at the price point they sell is quite the ripoff.
Wusthof is a great brand and really well priced! I know they’re German blades and not as thin as Shun or Miyabi but they’re really good and they’ll last you forever!
This 800$ "knife" is an insult to every knife maker. 800$ can get you a custom chef knife out of highest end steels if we talk stock removal or blades forged by a master like Murray Carter. Should have visited Murray Carter instead. ...this "knife" has poor geometry, the rasp pattern can trap food (hygiene issue!!) and I wonder if the "'blade" has even been heat treated...
Yeah only people who know nothing about knives will buy that. Any professional chef will go with Japanese knives or Macs/Wusthof/Zwilling.
@@Ben-kp1dh Yeah man; japanese knives all the way imho. Maybe Wüsthoff for big kitchens. 800$ Can get you either a VERY fancy japanese knife or an entire Wüsthoff block, fine cutting board and an apron lol.
@@Ben-kp1dh I'm a pro chef and I'm seriously considering a Chelsea Miller Knife, just because of how much it triggers you guys.
@@raizumichin I too have 800 dollars lying around. Might as well buy a leather case for 130 USD. Add in that 2 weeks delivery for 400 USD. Over 1300 USD for just a knife and leather saya. LOL. And its not even a good knife.
@@Ben-kp1dh In what world does delivery cost 400USD?
I'd agree that it's not the best knife, but it certainly seems to have its uses. And again, people seem to get so bent out of shape over this particular knifemaker so I kinda want to support her just because of that.
I can confirm that any expensive knife I work with feels so much better, it's hard to explain to someone the feel of a good knife vs a cheap knife, the feel of a good knife is orgasmic the balance thr sharpness generally just a really good feel, my school I went to my chef had a few knives that were roughly $200-$400 ea and were just top tier feel especially compared to our $200 knife kit knives or the $50 ea class knives
"the way you're holding knife scares me".. Rie's motherly Instinct kicks in 😂
Got my hopes up not gonna lie was expecting way more work put into the $800 knife.
Saaaaaaame
I expect a golden knife with black truffle hilt.
There *is* a lot more work that goes into her knives, but this wasn't a tutorial on knife making. TBH for that kind of money I too would prefer a Murray Carter or equivalent, but Mario Batali has said he covets her work, so good for her.
I think this had less to do with finding the ultimate knife and more to do with BuzzFeed's budget. Oh Hey, while we're in NYC, lets talk to this one person who makes expensive knives. Instead of flying someone to Germany or Japan or any other bonafide knife maker.
Rie's visible anxiety when Steven was talking and holding the Japanese knife is my anxiety at all times.
Gj youre special
@@Yellow.1844 Good job, you're a dick
@@alexiswiggins7224 Triggered😂😂

7:54 I hope Steven's new cooking show would look something like that, love Steven's smile btw.
he is a very talented musician
cellist
asian
Yo-yo ma? HAHA
Caroline Chrislie thought the same:)
Right? I was like why bother bleeping. :)
Ok I dont get it lol
The least subtle name drop.
I loved Rie being afraid of standing close to Steven while he's holding a knife. She is very wise
I feel in love with the blacksmith in the end
Honestly this show has just proved that keeping life at a medium is the best.
rie sold a knife that now belongs to yo-yo ma.
what a legend
Rie being nervous everytime Steven touches a knife...😂
mrs. Hammertime: Rie’s mom instincts are kicking in.

☠ Relax grandma
@@SUGAR_XYLER wow... that's quite a leap.
Japanese knives just cuts so smooth. I've spent 200 on an atmuthentic Japanese knife and I've been using that same knife for ten years.
The casual name-drop of Yo-yo Ma is everything.
Tom (co-owner of Totaly Bamboo) should start reading audio books or do ASMR.
He sounds like Daddy Bob Ross.
Joe Dick gah why is there always people like you in the comments?
@Joe Dick why tf you want to kill someone
Rie's positive energy can make any episode truly Worth It !
Ooooh pun i like it 😂
Investing in a good knife is life changing. Cooking becomes a joy instead of a chore, and it’ll last your lifetime. A rare one of my young adult life purchases I don’t regret👍🏼
I like what you're doing here. Glad to see you're still killin' it. --Head of Security
