Samurai 360 Review: As Seen on TV Rolling Knife

Here is my first-look review of Samurai 360, the "knife that rolls." I found that it works better on some types of food than others. (Sorry, but the 2¢ Chicks had to remove their review!)

[@Wendykenson]

it can probably replace a pizza cutter but not a reg knife lol

[@Morbuto]

C.H. Delivery well... it did rather mangle the pepperoni though... it could replace a really crappy pizza cutter 🤦🏾‍♀️

[@madmax2069]

Made in Shenzhen they all can pretty much do that, just put the pepperoni back in place.

[@cheecheedivine]

Not a good replacement for a regular knife.

[@CaroleMorin]

Give me a nice sharp chef's knife anytime! Great review though. You don't scream, jump around, hang from a chandelier, you just do what is expected of you which is reviewing a product. Just love it.

[@theTesters]

Nice review but I can definitely see some accidents happening especially if you try to speed it up

[@strangecathedrals]

You gave this more politeness than I could have given. That's one reason why I trust your reviews. Also I enjoy the levity you contribute ever so gently in all the right places. Thank you for another great review.

[@ikkepic]

They probably used cooked carrots in the commercial. 😉

[@Freakinreviews]

Hadn't thought of that, but you're probably right!

[@10191927]

That’s what these ads do a lot of the time, they pre-cook vegetables to make a cheap product look amazing in the commercials.

[@MrDrokkul]

Didn't Xena used to carry one of these?

[@billruppert5483]

MrDrokkul that's funny!

[@iblockpuncheswithmyface1490]

Chakram.

[@Zombull73]

Problem with that thing is it's like pressing a knife through food (crushing) instead of drawing it through food (slicing). You'll never get good clean cuts that way.

[@indyduane]

looks like after using it a few times the blade needs sharping ?

[@Stoneysilence]

Why use a knife that can only do half the job? If you already have a knife out to cut the items in half, then just keep using it rather than switching to this it seems.

[@DDuinkerke]

Love the longer reviews 👍👌

[@quintinstefanski9305]

Reason for the difficulty with the pizza cutter on the brownies is because you had already sliced lengthwise and by the time you got to that final strip there wasn’t enough mass to keep the brownies still

[@mon573r6]

Love your reviews. Doing it so I dont have to waste money. Ty. Keep it up.

[@williamthethespian]

Excellent review Thank you for a thorough review. The fact that one must disassemble the unit to clean it, is an eye-opening deal breaker. It's sharp and the necessity of disassembling a very sharp instrument...not good. Thanks again

[@Freakinreviews]

Hey William! Yeah that's something that was a bit surprising to me. You really just have to go slowly and use that included guard when removing the blade.

[@adamdavis8892]

The cutting board you used for the brownies, was it glass? If it was, it dulled the blade for all your tests afterwards. Might want to check out the edge and see if it is dulled, and hone or resharpen it. Might be a good idea to see if it can be done on one of the sharpeners you reviewed!

[@NatachaWasylykVinette]

When watching these I always take into consideration if these gadgets could help someone with disabilities.

[@xxXthekevXxx]

I love the noise when you’re cutting the potato!

[@brucecoleman7412]

Tape the blade cover on securely, lay it flat on a piece of cardboard, trace the outline, cutout circle, glue or tape the cutout to one side of this thing. Now it can serve its most useful purpose: a Frisbee! If you are planning a trip to the mountains, BONUS!

[@Cypeq]

its most dangerous, awkward and difficult to clean pizza cutter ever imagined.

[@RYN988]

No way that pathetic contraption is better or faster than a sharp knife in good hands. Thanks for the review. Love the channel!

[@Cooltea1983]

Some fool will cut off a finger tip with that thing sooner or later...

[@Freakinreviews]

I thought so, too, but based on how slow it was to cut through a carrot, I don't know if it'd be easy to cut off a finger. I did worry I'd easily cut myself, though!

[@madmax2069]

Cool TA no more of a risk then a normal knife.

[@orlendatube]

THanks for this! its kinda scary looking when in practical use

[@ladyphelps21]

Do you have stairs on top of the wall in the kitchen that lead to nowhere that cannot be reached??

[@tammiebeal1592]

I have this I feel it works good depending on how you use it and know how to handle it when cutting I use mine all the time even for doing pastrys

[@MtnNerd]

It IS a pizza cutter. You can buy pizza cutters with that handle

[@hansielategan969]

This popped up on my timeline for some reason. I have one of these - not the same brand, but exact same principle - for about 5 years now and it still works great. You do need to spend some time to learn how to operate it efficiently, e.g. it is easier to cut a tomato with the blade "locked". I find it very efficient, but do have the gripe about the thickness you can cut with the rolling action. Apart from that, it is in everyday use in my household. Cleaning on the model I have is also easier, as you just flip a little tag and it folds open like a book where you ca take the blade out and easily clean the open cover.

[@ChristysCookingLifestyle]

Great review, I had to watch with my eyes squinted.😂That blade so close to your fingers.

[@Mike_Rogge]

Samurai 360: the knife that sucks residue into the handle and then deposits it as you cut for even easier cross-contamination!

[@xxXthekevXxx]

Mike Rogge lol!

[@delta10761]

Love this channel !!!!!

[@stuartfonix2734]

I'd love to see a side by side of the commercial and the real world tests. It would really add depth to the review. Also show how they wrongly advertise products. I'm pretty sure you could use short clips of the ads as it would fall under fair use. Anyway keep up the awesome reviews!

[@PuddyWillow]

I watched the commercial and I noticed that he held it differently. I think to get more control and easier slicing your hand should be positioned more towards the front so that your index finger is about an inch from the white plastic piece. You are holding it too far back. Try it and see if it works better.

[@elizabethsmith6408]

Thank you! Could NOT figure out how to disassemble the dang thing on my own.

[@eVerProductions1]

Good reviews, I suggest watching local channels at midnight to see what products to review next

[@sanctuarie5219]

It's usually pretty easy to cut a cooked chicken breast, but difficult to find a way to cut up raw chicken breasts. Often want to cube it up or even slice it to saute' with veggies, etc. I notice a lot of different handy-dandy cutters show cutting a cooked chicken breast, but wondering if this would work on a raw one? The best way I've found so far, is just using kitchen scissors.

[@glennpittsley1895]

probably would't. When working with raw meat you really want more of a slicing motion, I recommend a nice long filet knife for that. start with the breast by the handle and pull the knife toward you while apply pressure, if you do it right you should get it in one stroke (no back and forth) Also it helps to throw the meat in the freezer uncovered for 5-10 min firms it up and makes it easier to work with.

[@NanasWorld2007]

STop abusing that block of cheese LOL

[@NieroshaiTheSable]

It seems to be an awesome pizza cutter, but what makes a knife strong are its versatility and simplicity.

[@michaelmardling3152]

You should try to find the Bolo Rolling Knife, and do a comparison with Samarai 360.

[@2centchick]

Great review! I think it might be a little better than the Bolo Rolling Knife but not by much. It does seem like the Samurai 360 is a little more difficult to take apart and clean. I have used it a few times but only to cut up my kids pancakes and waffles. Thank you so much for the shout out we really appreciate it! 🤗

[@whenyoutrybutstillfail505]

2¢ Chicks why’d you have to remove your review?

[@rah1735]

You should really move your kids to the next line. If you don’t click read more it’s pretty gruesome

[@moomoopuppy5810]

Did they have a pile of super sharpened ones?

[@mteige]

It appears that someone went to Alaska and saw and Ulu Knife then decided to "improve" it by making the blade roll. Kinda like trying to make a horse faster by gluing wheels to its hooves. If you have never used an ulu knife, they are a bit weird to get used to, but they really work well!

[@A-G-F-]

anythimg with moving blades is something that i rather avoid. nothing can beat a good knife

[@arcanum70]

Thinking that a $10 chefs knife would work a LOT better, and would be a LOT safer (on numerous levels) than this thing. I say $10 chefs knife because that is what I see this round thing selling for.

[@h0rcrux774]

pfft even an Exacto​ knife would be better for cutting things :)

[@Godfather061]

I think the problem about cutting similar size slices comes from practicing with the device. Just the same as someone who can handle slicing, dicing, and chopping with a knife tend to be better the more practice they have with using those knives.

[@Snellyy]

Biggest problem is, you're very limited with this size of the food you can cut.

[@gabefimbres]

It a fancy harder to clean pizza cutter it looks intersting though and the brownie edge was to tall for the pizza cutter thats why it was just pushing it. Its the same problem you ran into with the big tomato

[@althill7407]

The inconvenience of disassembling it far outweighs any niche cutting performance it may exhibit, for myself.

[@MatroxMillennium]

"It definitely cuts the cheese..." xD

[@ajonline87]

Tuck your fingers in please watching this gave me anxiety 😂😂😂😂

[@greenbuttondown]

Right!

[@Highphi420]

why would any one cut a potato or something in half then get a new knife to cut more? now you have 2 knifes to clean.

[@camgood2437]

OMG. I just realized, I'm wearing the exact same shirt as you are in this video right now! It is the same shirt!! That's weird lol.. I guess there's a first time for everything..

[@maf5600]

Legend has it fakers cower away at the sight of this man

[@dippster357]

Good review man! i hope the crowd under 40 oh! i mean 50!!! are watching this and they see a lot of these info-shows are tryin to always sale you something you don't need this gadgets it truly shows what we have been using for thousands of years still works best with less steps and no extra cleaning! very few times they get it right! but not this time i know i have 5 of these products that after a couple of weeks i don't even use any more, if they had youtube back then " i wouldn't have brought those 5 items!! give me some thumbs up if you agree!

[@Freakinreviews]

Heh great comment! And yes, some of these products seem to make tasks MORE difficult, while others try to solve a problem that doesn't exist! It can be fun to try them all out, though. Usually the advertising hypes these products up way beyond what they are capable of, raising consumer expectations to a level that is impossible for the product to meet.

[@sprogella]

It's a gimmick! Let's be honest. A good, razor sharp chef's knife is all I need in my kitchen! Thank you for your great reviews!🤗

[@rosewood4580]

Please let us know out of all these product u tried which one was 100 percent satisfiying ?

[@connermcclarren5234]

And this is why steak knives have serrations. Great video loved it

[@theblackdahlia88]

This would make a good herb chopper, but thats about it.

[@Steve_Solomon]

1:06 You should dust off the vent on the ceiling kinda making my OCD go crazy hahahah

[@joeyhovsepian13]

The brownie test was unfair. Your pressure was behind the pizza cutter, whereas with the other circular one it was pressing down making it cut easier by default.

[@BRANDON-FJB]

How would one sharpen it? 🤔

[@emilyclairmont4990]

for some reason I chuckled when the first slice of cheese hit the cutting board

[@rmp5s]

The only thing I could see this thing being legitimately useful for is mincing parsley, garlic, etc. And, even then I'd still rather use a good chef knife.

[@scottcook3081]

Nothing beats a good french knife.

[@youtubeadmin3158]

With the carrot one are you sure they weren't peeled

[@alphahunter4791]

So it's a really sharp pizza cutter with a rounded handle?

[@Ancientreapers]

My mom bought one and never used it a while ago. I told her why the heck do you keep buying these gizmos that you spend as much time cleaning them as you do cooking. She's one of those as seen on TVaholics. She's much too old now to even care anymore. I've been going through her stuff now for senior downsizing stuff. Though my one question is how the hell do you sharpen the damn thing? It's going to get dull eventually or is that the catch you keep having to buy new sharp blades from them for it.

[@HalloweenkingTV]

You can always use it as a chakram throwing blade.

[@sjagoeffy]

Looks great to cut herbs with. Kinda like a modern day mezzaluna

[@PrayToRNGesus]

One thing you didn't think about is how hard it would be to sharpen the blade

[@dctinvent7725]

Good review.

[@LadyRavenB]

You need to watch the 'Safty locks' they don't stay in place. I bought mine used couple of times and went back to my chefs knives and mandolin.

[@kendarr]

That looks so dangerous, also how do you sharp that

[@rosewood4580]

we have to take some cooking classes to work with this thing

[@MrBobWareham]

What about when the blade takes all the food up into the handle and then goes bad now the blade is contaminated

[@cararosenfield6480]

Haha i could swear my family has the exact cutting board. Not the white one, but the other one that’s glass. Kind of looks like Fall to me.

[@heysultana]

Thank u so much

[@malagastehlaate230]

I had a semi-circle sort of elliptical blade that came with a curved cutting board and that was the best cutting instrument I've ever used... sadly the cutting board didn't last but I still have the curved blade and I wish I could get another with that curved board... it went right through most anything even carrots and celery with ease and you just had to rock it back and forth... This looked promising but not so much... Still, think my curved blade would trump that.

[@stevenstinnett1347]

It's just a fancy pizza cutter.😛

[@dangernoodle8376]

A knife sharpeners greatest nightmare

[@kevinstyles1991]

I know this was years ago, but dude… protect this fingers! When you’re chopping for prep, knuckles under and definitely nondangky finger under a blade!

[@lazerpete3594]

the commercial also shows cutting a salad in the bowl ( not shown here on this vid)

[@SETROC316]

Do you have a as seen on tv knife review video?

[@kengamble8595]

Yeah, I think I can get by just fine without it ! This might be one of those cases where some of the problem, is the nut behind the wheel ! 😊 Thanks for sharing and take care.

[@whocares6698]

You overcooked your brownies , sorry had to say it. Good review like always otherwise. In the actual commercial they just say its dishwasher safe and put the whole thing blade and all still assembled in the dishwasher. Thanks for showing what you actually have to do to clean it

[@iRaskulz]

Am I the only one terrified for his finger with this? Proper cutting technique would definitely help, however I would still prefer to use a regular chef knife.

[@Mizzoumike000]

Those carrots were probably steeped in the commercial

[@COZYTW]

It's like a one-handed mezzaluna. If you're not used to it, you might hurt yourself.

[@michaelmardling3152]

Should find out why it isn't dishwasher safe, maybe a few tests to see if it is or not.

[@Freakinreviews]

Good idea. I think I'll run it through the dishwasher a few times before my next update.

[@SilvaDreams]

Same reason you don't want to put any knife (Other than a butter knife) through the dish washer, you'll ruin the blade.

[@cup_and_cone]

It'll probably knock the [thin] coating off, then it'll start getting rust spots.

[@sqike001ton]

great till it gets dull i bought a large number of these and i use them in my pizza restaurant best pizza cutter ever

[@lunarlegend8924]

the thing is essentially just a pizza cutter with more leverage

[@angelaortiz3406]

I watch all your videos I like them👍🏼❤️

[@screw__head__281]

Now I want brownies.

[@thedogsmom]

You can do the same thing with a sharpened pizza cutter

[@etikevin1]

User error?

[@stevenyoung3360]

If you have ever used a good chef knife you would never want for any gimmick.

[@thinamo7750]

Doesn't it get dirty inside?

[@rdu239]

A gimmick item, lots of cons: - You have higher chance of cutting yourself because your supporting hand will be in an awkward position holding the food item while using thing - Its no match against hard vegetables like large carrots and squash - Due to the odd slicing method, you will not get uniform cuts if you speed slice like you can do in a knife - Its poor against thick and irregular shaped food items. With the odd handle, try to dissect a whole chicken or thick slab of meat using this

[@Suz_408]

LMAO!! If they sent me one for free, I'd throw it away!

[@timchadwick8245]

On the tomato toss, your tomato impacted the plastic handle which stopped its progress. i imagine they had several takes for the commercial before they achieved perfect aim & sufficient speed to allow their smaller diameter tomato to successfully pass through the opening between the handle ends. Also, all of the vegetables in the commercial appear to have been steamed to some extent - the carrots appear to have been thoroughly cooked. Very deceptive advertising!

[@issabeganovic8822]

We have a Cheap Plastic Rip-off of it at home that we only use for Pizzas.

[@velazquezarmouries]

That is why almost no one used extremely curved blades

[@berry186]

You made me hungry for some brownies, lol.
