The $20 DOLLAR Babish Knife Review! Is it any good?!

I review the Binging With Babish/Babish Culinary Universe knife. Can it really be a good knife for only $20? I am here to give you my HONEST opinion.

Chef's knives are not supposed to be used on hard stuff like bone. The Babish, which I also own and end enjoy, is a soft blade. A harder steel will retain a sharper edge, but is likely more brittle. That's probably why the Babish survived the chicken experience when the Shun did not.

A chefs knife with a delicate tip does not compare to a cleaver/chef combo when it comes to chopping or butchery. That shun deserved better! The “Clef” knife is built for abuse, in contrast. 🧐 I could tell immediately where the design inspiration came from, though.

You mean "Shoon" not "Shun".

It is pronounced SHUN. It has a break down of their name on every warranty card you receive with your purchase.

That type of Japanese knives isn't made for de boning. It's a knife for gentler use. not the knives fault it chipped. And the babish is based on German knives I think. And they are more hefty that's why it cutting chicken good.

First off, thank you for your comment. Second, I fully agree with you about that not being ideal for de-boning, however, I have not used either of the knives for that. I am comparing general-use chef knives. Both knives are considered to be chef knives, and even the Shun website claims that the knife is an "all-purpose" blade. That being said, I have never used either one for de-boning. I used both equally in the kitchen doing simple tasks such as slicing fruits, vegetables, and slicing meat. Third, after more testing and daily use of both knives, I have to say that the Shun Japanese knife has not had any further chips, and has kept an edge better than the Babish knife. Finally, I would honestly recommend both knives to someone looking to get an affordable knife. The Babish knife has not chipped, but it lost its edge faster than the Shun knife.

@@bridgesbrothersbbq1093 I'm looking at getting new knives with quality. I like your video and comment. They both have pros and cons. Your video seems like a real life situation I would experience. Both can be fun. The delicate precision of one and the ability to just hack through with out worries with the other. I might have to go both ways on this one. And sharping is its own situation for both. Thanks!!!

@@elzabig1 If you are in the market for some new knives then I also recommend looking at Dalstrong Knives. Their website is dalstrong.com/ and I have heard some great reviews about them, especially from pitmasters and people who like to cook on a grill. I have not checked the prices recently, but last time I checked they weren't too expensive. I suggest you check them out and read up on them!
