I dumped all my Boeker, Wuesthoff, Fiskars and Zwilling (Twin) knifes against "Windmühlen Messer K5 Series". When you buy them they require just two strokes on a 65 Rockwell rod and they cut a tomatoe with one cut only by their own weight. There are some outlet stores where you can buy them for 40%off. Price is roughly 2 $-2,5$ per inch of blade length, hand made, no big difference between cs and SS versions. Worth a try. They have a unique traditional sharpening procedure with Austrian limestone and wood. You find Windmühlen Knifes as well under "Robert Herder Solingen"

He also said that they were old Wusthofs. Maybe that series of knives isn't produced anymore. Maybe they were very low on carbon content and not well hardened. The sound they made was clearly not like the one of a very dense and hard alloy forged knife. The plastic bolster is another sign of low end line. I would not buy that knife nowadays, Wusthof is doing now more modern and better blades. You have to consider that Riky is an artisan Japanese knives' lover. They are always made of really better steels than this old Wusthof. Of course there are knives that are cheaper than this one. After all it's a Wusthof (low end Wusthof line, probably discontinued).

@@simonspeaker I don't know if "they never made crap" knives in their history. I know that they still make also stamped blades. This channel is more or less about sharpening forged knives generally with an hardness of 59+ HRC. The most part of them are artisan grade knives. I agree with you about the average quality of Wusthof but even if they make high quality series of knives they also make products that aren't high end grade (they are stamped knives). And that's OK. As Riky said in another reply, what he said in this video was what he thought at that time. I don't think that a stamped knife with plastic bolster is necessary crap but I know there are better products that could not cost a lot so even if I did not agree with Riky when he said that on this video I understood why he said that.

…we all know that you don’t like the fact that Wusthof are a high quality product which is highly regarded around the world and used by the top chefs, but to try and claim that they are a ‘’cheap and crappy tool’’ is pushing it a bit far really. I would stick to your old rusty Japanese knifes and be a bit more open minded when it comes to proven German quality I think - I know, out of all my Chinese, made in Japan, German and Swiss knives, the only ones I have ever had to return due to manufacturing faults were some of my, so called ‘high end, made in Japan ones’…
@I_Might_B_Wrong7 жыл бұрын
I usually jump from 3000 on my German kitchen set to a loaded strop with white compound followed by green. This gives me a very smooth edge that shaves hair and cuts like a monster in the kitchen. The German steels seem to like these compounds more than high grit stones in my experience, maybe because of the softness of the steel being less forgiving on a hard stone if your angle changes a little bit.
@FenrisEx2 жыл бұрын
I know it's 4 years old, but you were on the right spot. German (or western in general) knifesteel is much softer than eastern steel. It comes usually whith a hrc of 56 + - 2. As eastern steel is much harder. A chinese cookingblade is often between 63-65, in extreme cases up to 68 hrc. For european steel you need 5k at most. A 3-4k stone is all you need to polish your blade. Everything above is not only not necessary but can also make your blade dull again. On eastern knives you use upt to 8-12k stones for polishing. That does not mean western steel is a lower quality, it only means that western steel is softer and needs a different type of caring.

Sometimes older knives get really wonky and if you don’t straighten them out before sharpening, it’s a world of hurt.

They weren't the best available, but they seemed to be the best I could afford at the time.I am much less thrifty today, although old habits die hard, and I'm still a sucker for a great price on a used Henckels or Wüsthof. I know better than to lay a hand on my son-in-law's Shuns though...

If sharpening is a hobby then $360 really isnt THAT much but yes if you are just getting a stone to resharpen a knife for cooking then it might be a bit too much to invest. From what ive read (I dont have a shapton glass stone) a quality diamond stone will probably last longer assuming that you take proper care of it. There is another user richard blaine who has sharpening videos as well and he claims that his DMT diamond stones are around 10 years old and still going strong.

Yes Joe, there are. They do good quality 58 HRC hardened blades with great metal bolster. They are not high carbon >60 HRC but they are very good "German steel" serious knives. 58 HRC have its pros and cons. One could find that kind of steel very practicle (e.g. you can freshen the edge in few seconds with a honing rod before start cooking. Well 58 HRC is probably not soft enough but maybe some honing rods are good for that hardness). They are also not prone to chipping easily. The cons are, for example, the level of sharpness (but if properly mantained they could be sharp enough) and edge retention. For sure Wusthof makes excellent "German steel" professional knives. But Riky is into Japanese high end handmade knives and they are different products (with a different price).

I find that when reprofiling a knife using a coarse stone it's best to check to see if you are achieve a 50/50 bevel by looking straight on the edge. I notice that you don't do any checks and you could easily put a 60/40 edge on it. In other videos you make sure you get the same number of passes per side which is a good practice. But here I think you spent more time on the right edge on this knife. Also I prefer the backward strop to avoid cutting into stone. This knife looks similar to the Victorinox Chefs knife which is not a bad knife, though not as good as a fine chefs knife but for the money it performs well.

As a complete novice, I have always been wondering what is the difference between sharpening a knife using ceramic rod and sharpening it using whetstone. Which one is better?
@Burrfection7 жыл бұрын
hmmmm. will do a video for this at some point. basically, ceramic rod is for "honing" cleaning the knife in between sharpening sessions. when you are on the stone, you are "sharpening" removing a lot more material than just honing on ceramic rod.

a honing rod doesn't sharpen or remove metal, it only aligns the edge in place

Hey I have that knife!!! lol I purchased it back in 2012, the Wustof Gourmet model I think. It does a good job though, I am saving for the Wustof Ikon!!!

Eleazar Mauricio buy a masamoto vg instead. It is 5 times the knife that the ikon is , but it's not so hard that it will chip on everything. They are a great bridge into Japanese cutlery.

The level of anger just because of a 'Wusthof Gourmet Chef's Knife' being called crappy made me think I was reading comments between people fighting between AMD and Intel CPUs. It's a piece of metal, not a $250,000 car made with only the finest Nepalian sheepskin tires

Ehco Roche It's a $60 dollar knife if you bought it when it was first released now more like $30 it clearly wasn't cared for too well either. Any tool is only as good as the user and the care given said tool.
