Butcher here! A sign of a good quality knife is a combination of its ease of use and comfort of the grip (lowers accident risk), sharpness retention (strength of the steel), rigidness or flexibility of the blade (depending on the type of knife), and its lifespan against re-sharpening. Knowing the correct use of a knife helps extend the lifespan too. A high-end single boning/breaking butcher knife will only cost about $75 a knife but will last you years of daily use for hours each of those days. A normal home user could have it for 20+ years and use it every day. "High end" does not mean designer names or fancy pattern knives either. You'd be surprised how many Damascus knives online are fakes too. I've had two Victorinox butcher knives in my home kitchen for about 15 years now; one is 6" and the other 10". They've both lost about an inch over the years of resharpening and running them against a steel. In the shop they last us about a year but in that year we'll process 200+ cattle, 500+ hogs, and more on that one knife. And anytime a celebrity or social media person puts their face or name on something, it's usually a gimmick. Martha Stewart, Rachael Ray, Emerl, Babish, and more. All junk. Now even Guga put his name on a Walmart set. You know how well that must work.
@thorwaldjohanson25266 ай бұрын
100% agree with you. Victorinox fibrox is THE workhorse for a professional setting. Basically indestructible, easy to hone, good grip, and inexpensive. For the home there is an argument for more expensive, harder and thinner blades, which require much more care and careful handling, but are more pleasurable to use. But as a rule of thumb, I'd avoid anything from China. It's just too easy to cheat on steel and heat treatment quality.

The first week I used the knife I damn near cut my finger tip off through the nail and all!

A quick primer on the steel used for kitchen knives: the grades used are typically cheap, cheaper, and pot metal. If you see "stainless steel" that usually means "stainless steel so cheap it can't be heat treated", probably 420J. Avoid that. If you see "high carbon stainless steel" or " high carbon German Stainless Steel", that usually means "at least it has enough carbon to be heat treated, but still the bare minimum necessary for this". German or "Solingen" steel probably means X58Cr15MoV, which will make an ok knife, but contrary to what most manufacturers tell you, this is not a high end or proprietary product, its basically the cheapest steel you can use to make a knife that doesn't suck. It basically got the edge retention of 420HC but better corrosion resistance. Even Global, which I have some experience with, uses cheap steel. They claim they use a propreitary alloy but... this is almost certainly false. The odds that any steel mill would make a proprietary formula for a knife manufacturer is close to nil. Though I have no proof, I strongly suspect Global uses AUS-8. While this is going to be noticeably better than X50Cr15MoV in terms of edge retention, it's kind of low on Chromium, so it is more prone to rust than X50Cr15MoV. This isn't a limitation of metallurgy either, it is a cost saving measure and coukd be remedied by using 440C, BD1N, or 14C26N. That said, Globals are some of the most reasonably priced knives around relative to their edge retention, at least that I know of. Also, "Dishwasher Safe" would either be impossible or else mean horrible edge retention in the price ranges tested here. The only way to get the corrosion resistance necessary to be routinely exposed to the heat and ph of a dishwasher without corroding would be to add so much nickel to supplement the chromoum in the stainless alloy that the resulting alloy would not be heat treatable, and thus would be too soft to make a good knife. It'd be on par with a 420J knife in terms of edge retention. The only exception (maybe) would be a salt water alloy like LC200N or Vanax where a lot of the carbon is replaced by nitrogen, but no one mass producing kitchen knives (even an expensive brand like Zwilling, Wusthofg, or Shun) can work with those. You'd probably need to find a custom knife maker for those formulas, and even then its only a guess on my part that they might hold up to a dishwasher. Not worth the cost and trouble. It's better to just hand wash your knives. Ideally, from an alloy standpoint, I'd say you'd want your knives made out of 440C at maybe around 58 RC, or Sandvik 1428N run a little harder (that stuff is very tough so it can run a few points harder without becoming too brittle). BD1N would be excellent as well. LC200Nmightt be even better because its incredibly corrosion resistant, but probably wouldn't justify the cost. CPM154 (that one specifically, not the billet version 154 CM which would have great edge retention for a kitchen knife, but corrosion resistance more in line with AUS-8) would probably be great as well, but probably wouldn't justify the cost for most users. None of this is to say don't get an X59Cr15MoV knife. They work. Just don't spend extra for "better steel" as all of them will have similar edge retention and you'd be better off just shopping by feel (IE the Zwilling is probably using the same steel as the Martha Stewart knives but with a sturdier design and better QC). If you're good about not leaving your knives lying around with citrus juice/or salt on the blades, Globals are great as well. Personally, because I'm a huge nerd about this stuff, most of my kitchen knives are made out of S35VN, which in this application has good durability and insane edge retention (though you need a ceramic rather than a steel rod for basic maintenence), with ok corrosion resistance (better than a Global or AUS-8 knife though not as good in this area as something like the Henckels), but that's probably not worth the money or trouble for most consumers either. In theory they should have great corrosion resistance, but the surface finish you get at a non-insane price point reduces this to just ok. Also, beware the folliwing gimmicks: Claiming X50CrMoV or Aus-8 are "super hard/wear resistant Molybdenum/Vanadium steels". They aren't. They have only trace ammounts of these metals in the formula. Referring to "Ice Hardened" steel as if it's a different alloy. It isn't. It's a better heat treated version of X59Cr15MoV. If the manufacturer springs for anything fancier than AUS-8 they're probably also cryo quenching it anyway (Golbals are also ice hardened btw). Though X50Cr15MoV that has been ice hardened will be better than X50CrMoV that hasn't been. -Calling Ice hardened steel "Nitrogen steel". It isn't. Quenching a steel in liquid nitrogen improves the heat treat but doesn’t change nitrogen content. -Petending that a steel with a little bit of nitrogen, such as 14C28N or BD1N is "rust proof". They aren't. They will resist corrosion better than something that is otherwise similar, like say 440C, but not to the extent of a higher nitrogen formula like LC200N, and even that might not remain "rust proof" in a dish washer. Hopefully that's helpful to any shoppers because when it comes to kitchen knives, most manufacturers can be extremely misleading.

As someone who owns and used to sell Cutco knives twenty years ago and was originally trained to sell "against" certain knife brands, I feel obligated to mention two things: 1. Zwilling and Henckels are currently owned by the same parent company in Germany, Zwilling J. A. Henckels, and there are even some Henckels manufactured in Japan rather than China. 2. Whether due to availability, other inability to acquire before the testing video, or possibly because it would result in too many brands for this single video, you left out at least Wüsthof, genuine Sabatier, and Cutco. It would be groovy to see a follow-up video where at least these three brands are also included if you're able to acquire them, maybe along with other popular store brands like Oxo or whatever big box stores like Target sells, though I understand if you can't or won't get Cutco due to its direct marketing nature (some would say "door-to-door salesman," and that's a tough but fair comparison) and likely having to know someone who sells it.

This is why "Out of the box sharpness" for knives is generally a useless statistic when comparing kitchen knives. While a 50 dollar and 100 dollar knife might come out of the box the same, they are not gonna retain the same. Gobal makes some quality stuff for a pretty decent price. I think the only brand that beats them when comparing quality to cost is Victorinox. Yes the Swiz Army brand, their kitchen knives are fantastic.

TRADE OFFS: The rust test could be said to be counter intuitive. That is, stainless stinks, when seeking out quality knife steel. They are less prone to rusting, but don't take as good an edge, and the edge doesn't hold up to work as well. As such, a bit of rust could be said to be an indicator you may get better performance from your knife, but will have to put more effort into caring for it. Sure wish the Globals had wider, more comfortable handles. Meanwhile, it remains you are the king of "which is best" videos. A whole lot of good and interesting information.

As a former butcher i will say this, buy once cry once with knives but we used them daily for 6-18 hours and needed quality. One thing on sharpening (edge degree) a sharp knife will cut better but dull faster a slightly duller blade will not cut as good but hold edge longer this also depends on quality of metal used. In my opinion a steel (honing rod) are far better at correct edges vs those stupid pull through ones that are in the blocks.

Good knives are worth it. I have a Miyabi set. It was $700, but they are so good they only need sharpening twice a year.

Are you a chef? Im asking because my dollar stor knives dont need sharpening until about a year and a half.. provided that they are far from sharp in amyways

@@V77710people have different understandings of what "sharp" means. With a thin and hard miyabi knife, he can get to razer sharp levels, which are sharper than a thicker and softer blade. So he probably resharpens it when it gets to the sharp state of a cheaper and larger angle edge. A typical western stainless knife you almost never have to sharpen and just use a honing rod for a few seconds every once in a while.

Thank you for doing this test... I was in the market for a new knife set. When I searched for the Wiseka set on Amazon, they were $139. I figured they jacked up the price because I need shipping to the Philippines. I added the item to my cart and the price dropped to $84... Great surprise... Thanks again.

What dedication to the channel. I bought the farberware almost 10 years ago. I've mainly only used one knife for cooking and the paring knife for cleaning fish and some chickens. The cooking knife dulled to a certain level, and hasn't changed since. The paring knife has been abused some on the fish scaling and was exceptionally difficult to use processing chickens due to dullness. I imagine I'll have these knives the rest of my life and am completely happy with my purchase when I moved into my first apartment. I've considered buying a more expensive set but looking back, I've saved a lot of money out of this cheap set and don't plan to change.

serious...I'd rather spend £30 on one decent chef's knife, than buy a set made of tat.

Just get a German made Wusthof. Very durable and will last a lifetime. But probably around $100.

Totally agree, no home cook needs 15 knives. Two or three good ones (and those can be 30€ Victorinox) is a much better idea.

You can't really get a very decent chef's knife for just £30 though. Maybe £90 A Zwilling pro 10" chef's knife is $189.99 It is a decent chef's knife. You can walk into any commercial kitchen and no one will look at you funny for having it.

@@BL-yj2wp I use a carving knife most of the time. I have a chef's knife but I only break it out for very difficult tasks. Which for me is a rare occurrence. But sometimes I do need the big gun. I just got a nice Estwing hatchet that I might be able to use in the kitchen. I spent some time honing a nice edge onto it.

@@1pcfred I've had a Deer & Oak 8" Chef Knife for couple years now. Nice big belly...a lovely balance...not light...full tang...forged. Lol...steel is "premium". I took a gamble on it going by reviews. Sharpens well...no chips...doesn't fold, but I'm sure it would if I started whacking into bones and such.. Less than £30. I use it every day but I'm pretty careful with it too. It suited my pocket and I've never had reason to upgrade. Damnnnnn...I'd love a Zwilling tho...................but I'd treat 190 quid's worth of steel like it was a baby at the same time. Pretty sure their steel choices are unmatchable re versatility and strength.
