[@dylanvivian2503]

Your pronunciation is beautiful, great video also! Thank you

[@steakneggs2003]

i didnt grow up there, though i have spent a lot of time there. My wife's family is in Yamagata. I will admit, i might be a bit jaded on the things i see... i spend most of my time with chefs/families of chefs and/or knife professionals. I do see gyutos (not chefs knives) in homes though (180mm-210mm)... but santoku and nakiri are by far the most common.

[@allgoo19]

All those knives are made for professionals work in Kappou(high end Japanese traditional restaurant) or fish market. You rarely find those in ordinary Japanese houses. Maybe you can find Deba in some house. Most people use Nakkiri or Santoku for vegetables and chef's knife for other uses at home.

Im glad you included the correct pronunciation of the knives. I noticed you didn't pronounce them the same as the lady in the voice over. Does anyone get a bit offended if you don't pronounce them correctly? Im not an expert just someone who wanted to know about the different Kitchen knives.

[@JKnifeImports]

no one really gets pissed, but that was my wife speaking, and she is strict with my and my japanese. I can pronounce all of these things properly too, but she wanted to do it that time. The point was so that people could get a 100% correct pronunciation via this video.

[@chapshow1]

Japanese Knife Imports Well, thanks. It was very informative.

[@giovannieedgar1165]

Great video bro!

[@JKnifeImports]

@allgoo19 I see deba in most households... sometimes yanagiba too. Nakiri, Santoku, gytuo, and petty are absolutely most common at home.

[@karloyeah]

awesome video dude!

[@JBroida]

@CallMeMantou haha... thanks a lot... glad you enjoyed it

[@JKnifeImports]

at the end of the day, i have a degree in asian studies, speak japanese, and am married to a native japanese speaker. These are all things i am very familiar with. Likewise, i do spend time with non-professionals when i am with my family (in-laws, cousins, etc.) as well as long time friends. I stand by what i said before. I know i also see a higher percentage of chefs and knife professionals, but that does not mean i only see them.

[@bidin5253]

How long are those funayuki usually I found it longest around 180 mm

[@JKnifeImports]

depends on a number of factors, but they can be longer than that for sure... for example. we've got a 210mm version in stock.

cool to see some japanese chisels !

[@hertrisno8146]

what do you think about kamagata usuba vs gyuto?

[@JKnifeImports]

they are very different knives and are not even designed for the same uses. Kamagata usuba is a vegetable specific knife geared towards techniques like katsuramuki, sengiri, and various types of mukimono. Gyuto is an all purpose knife designed to be capable (but not necessarily ideal) of a wide variety of tasks from veggies to meats to whatever else you might come across.

[@piggear]

Do you ever use an usuba to tourne vegetables?

[@JKnifeImports]

sure... six-sided cutting is very common with usuba

[@ccxfrank109]

wish i had the 2nd and 3rd knives but double beveled

[@allgoo19]

"I see deba in most households... sometimes yanagiba too. Nakiri, Santoku, gytuo, and petty are absolutely most common at home." == I grew up there in 1960s when people bought raw material more and took more time in preparation. Nowadays you can buy anything everything all prepared.at the store. Even in 1960s, my mother who cooked big meals for people gathering all the time, didn't have those specialty knives. She asked at the store when she needed to. Which part of Japan you grew up?

[@JKnifeImports]

@karloyeah thanks so much

[@armenkarapetyan1611]

👍

[@allgoo19]

@JKnifeImports "at the end of the day," == Have you knock on anonymous, nobody Japanese and ask them what knives they have in the kitchen? Most Japanese don't even know what a Gyuto is. If you show it to them and ask what that is, they probably answer it's a chef's knife or "Futsu no naifu(ordinary knife)". If you know someone has it and know what it is, he's more than ordinary Japanese. He probably bought it as a better made chef's knife but not for the true purpose what it's made for.

[@JKnifeImports]

also, styles and shapes can vary too. In this video, we picked some of the more common ones to show.

[@adamli7168]

Japanese Knife Imports do you have a line of kataba gyuto with true uraoshi

[@b-radg916]

Are single bevel gyutos uncommon (or not sensible)? Are the other type of kiritsuke taller/wider than the one you showed? Do you know of a resource showing the various single bevel shapes that are out there in the knife world? I haven't had much luck online.

[@Crazyknives]

Bradley Gong Hi there!! Looks like we are looking for pretty much the same kind of knife, the one that I need is a Mioroshi deba honyaki white steel #1 any luck with you?

[@CallMeMantou]

your video is not getting enough recognition that it's supposed to..

[@allgoo19]

@JKnifeimports "Nakiri, Santoku, gytuo.." == Another thing. Japanese rarely eat beef, therefore, gyuto is extremely rare to be found in ordinary house. I can pretty much guarantee, what you saw as gytuo(sic) is a chef's knife. They look very similar.

[@MrGalien2000]

Your subtitles are funny all spelled wrong

[@davec3651]

Japanese pronunciation robot!

[@allgoo19]

@JKnifeImports "i didnt grow up there, though" == See, this is exactly what I was thinking. You go there for the business, so naturally people you meet are in business or at least interested in it. Majority of ordinary Japanese are not knife enthusiasts. They buy what they use. By the way, Nakiri is an English Japanese word, more accurately, Nakkiri with hopping sound. You'll understand when you hear how they pronounce it. Just like Nighkon (Nikon) is an English Japanese.

[@sportsonwheelss]

sorry to burst your bubble. Nikon is not an English Japanese. Nippon Kogaku K.K (Nikon)It is Japanese as it gets, nothing English about it.

[@allgoo19]

@JKnifeImports " I do see gyutos (not chefs knives) in homes.." == This is totally false if you are talking about ordinary Japanese.

[@azyrewrath]

Why would you have someone else read the name. It breaks up the flow of the video and sounds terrible.

[@sportsonwheelss]

So that he names are properly pronounce.
