There's MAJOR Issues With This Knife

[@leadingedgeknifeandtoolsha4128]

this goes back further than 2021. They started off calling them viking knives, to cash in on the viking craze around the show Vikings. Then they switched to calling them japanese knives, same knife. I think that was like 2013

[@somedud1140]

To me the red flag is 70% discount ads from small companies. You see, big stores use discounts to lure people in so they would buy something else too, sometimes they want to get rid of old stock. But these kinds of small companies don't sell anything else so even at the "discount" they still have large enough profit margin to justify advertising. So what is the production cost and how much we are paying for ads and the "brand" name? In short, if you make hefty profit from 70% discount, what's the point of the full price?

[@neruneri]

It's so obvious too. Like yeah, they're selling you a dream. Take that at face value. You're being sold a dream.

[@VeraBundy]

Hahaha ! Yep !

[@bornonthebattlefront4883]

@@somedud1140 this is very true Store wide sales are fine, because like you said, it’s because they are trying to get rid of old stock But a 70% sale on the only product from a company is definitely a red flag A lot of the time, this “sale” isn’t an actual discount, but just lying Which is illegal, but I don’t think husk is worried about legal troubles I have a feeling that if something comes up, they will just disappear and reappear as another brand with the same exact product

[@TheLastPharm]

I was getting bombarded with adverts from Matsako knives, which are pretty much the exact same knife. I liked the look of them but now that you've explained how dysfunctional they are for kitchen work, I'm glad I didn't waste my money on them. Thank you for the informative review!

[@TheMrGreen28]

I got one of those ads when I clicked on this video. And there's so many different ones now, too. I know consumers aren't always the brightest, but when you get bombarded with ads for the same knife with different branding. I think most people are going to realize it's a mass produced made for e-commerce companies. I bet we could find the same knife on ali express for a few dollars.

[@murrayburke7746]

Dont defend those youtube influencers. They actually used the knife and you can clearly see them struggle to cut through bananas, tomatoes ect, i saw the car repair guy struggle to cut through packaging plastic with it. They obviously knew at that moment that the knife is not good yet they chose to continue. The harsh reality is that their honest opinion can be bought. Cant trust them after that. And you know whats worse? They have millions of subscribers, they would survive skipping one sponsor. But they didnt, because they value money more than integrity and they know thier subscribers are fools who will accept an apology video.

I think you give these idiots too much credit. They were probably just as duped as the rest of us. I mean, i'm sure a few are like that but I can't believe all of them are the bottom of the barrel.

@@MegaPhilmurray I had the Matsato ad right in the middle of watching this video. Pretty ironic! I know Honed doesn't control the ads that appear in their videos so no shade thrown there. I had seen the ad a few times and just ignored as I have enough of an interest in Japanese knives to immediately see this was not one at all and was in all likelihood a piece of rubbish. It's not hard to see from the ads but people are more easily persuaded by creators they foolishly trust. It's nice that this then appeared in my suggestions to confirm what I had assumed. KZbin is literally littered with scam product ads. They'll take money from anyone and there's no body regulating it to prevent misleading advertising.

[@RAkers-tu1ey]

Huusk again? I bought four of these in 2018 or 2019 for a costume gag I was doing. They are typical $10 fantasy knives widely available from China. The only thing wrong with them is all of the lies they tell to sell them, and the dopey multiple purchase discount. I am surprised so many people fall for it. That said, I think I paid $50 for the four of them. It saved me two or three hours of labor to make what I wanted out of aluminum. I still have them around somewhere. The wife uses one of them for digging in the garden.

As someone who has worked in commercial kitchens for over 24 years, I agree that the edge's curved shape will make work more taxing as you'll increase your wrist movement. Proper kichen knife's edge should be only very slightly curved, not as much as this Huusk knife. For work my knife set are combinations of Shun and Wusthof for over a decade and they don't disappoint. By the way, this Huusk knifes are making another commercial appearance again but under new name. It's called Matsato knife. You'll see it in the usual youtube ads.

One thing I find odd when I first saw Huusk appear was how similar it was to the Kamikoto scam...

[@DirtyBastard_89]

Have to correct a detail for you there, as it's way worse than you think. HUUSK has been around for a looooong long time. They where, if I remember correctly, one of the first massively wide spread social media knife scams. I remember the "Nordic knfe"(or some such) ads on facebook still, and that was back in 2010/11 and again in 2013 as "Viking knife" everywhere because of the Vikings show. With the same near unusable and unpractical knife shown here. 1994 was the start of the company, and 2009 they opened factories in East Asian countries, where shortly after the scamming started en masse iirc. So Kamikoto did a HUUSK if anything. Not that that's any better. Glad I saved my money for my Nesmuk and Kai knives. They'll probably outlast me.😋

[@markwood8824]

[@philsturgill3435]

Huusk knives is a totally unethical company. Back around 1999 or so I made the mistake of ordering one of their blades and they tried to make me pay for their “special” package where I was to “save” a great amount money so they sent me 8 of them and tried to make me pay for them. It took about a year to get them off my back and I had to threaten them with a federal fraud case before they just gave in and gave me the knives. It was a thoroughly disgusting experience. To boot, the blades are shyte.

[@stupitdog9686]

I had a a similar experience ! It seem common for them to make a single order a multiple order and charge accordingly - with no way to cancel !!

[@KawikaLee408]

was gifted one for christmas a couple of years ago. at the time it was marketed as a butcher knife, which was more believable to me because the blade shape and finger hole grip could potentially aid in skinning and breaking down some meats. I raise meat rabbits on the property and can butcher them just fine, but i can do that just as well with any of my kitchen knives, or fixed blades for that matter. i could definitely tell it was a cheap scam knife when i got it and havent even used it enough to get dull. it's sitting in a box in the shed. i've seen the same knife advertised 100 different ways since then

I bought 2 along with leather sheaths. However I was billed for 2 sharpening stones. I tried to cancel the stones as soon as I seen my order invoice at time of me ordering. They said the stones are being shipped from somewhere else and I was stuck with the stones as well. Scammed and learned.

I got scammed into buying 3 of them for presents when advertised on one of my favorite fishing shows. They came in a nice presentation box saying they were made in China, when the ads on KZbin said they were made in Japan. When I finally researched these knives I found the metal was pot steel. They are awkward to hold and none of my chef friends are going to use these. One of the cooks I know says they are fine to hang on a wall as an oddity and maybe the shape is good for skinning a large game animal if you keep a sharpener handy.

[@DanPottas]

Lovly video cheers for this as I was interested in buying one of these as it stayed last for sharpness and I liked it's design. Not big on paying loads of money on kitchen knifes as they cost a lot for not a lot of use from me and the sharpness doesn't last. So this video has helped me decide not to buy that knife. But I'm looking for a knife what the sharpness does last but really not wanting to spend more than 50 60 gbp on it as its a single knife. The last load I bought was way back in the day from been in kitchens working I've since long stopped that work. Global was the last load I bought crazy money and me personaly didn't find they lasted for sharpness and when I sharpened them also not long lasting but the knifes did serve me well still got them scattered around somewhere. Could u recomented me a decent one for lasting it's sharpness please in the price range mentioned 😁👍🏻

[@Joeyisagonnawin]

My Ma got me one for Christmas a year or two ago. Without even watching, I know some reasons are: Blade is too short, throwing the weight off. Handle is awkward and encourages you to ride up on it, further throwing off weight and leverage. Blade is curved quite sharply, especially towards the end, making it hard to dice efficiently on a cutting board. The weight, leverage, and curve encourage you to cut with the base, putting your whole body behind it, which is much slower than chopping with the tip of a flat-edged knife. Even if intended for meat like a cleaver is, the grip prevents you from getting the same momentum as swinging a cleaver would. The curved blade also makes it hard to slide ingredients off of a board and into another vessel. I love my Ma, but I really prefer just a standard $20 knife for chopping ingredients. It's no better for meat since a sharp knife doesn't need the body behind it, it just slices.

[@murdockscott]

I received one of these as a gift a couple of years ago and thought it was a bit goofy at the time but also kinda thought that I was just ignorant and that maybe it was high quality. I have almost never used it because it just didn’t feel useful in comparison to my favorite Japanese style kitchen knife. Good to discover that my instincts were correct.

[@damien4cisnerosdc]

I actually bought this awhile back. Maybe 2020? Anyways while i do enjoy using it i did notice that its sharpness gradually went after only two or three uses. Being a knife collector, most of my knives that i own don’t dull that fast.

[@space.youtube]

Wondering how you control for pressure when you scrape the knife on the dulling block? Unless you apply a consistent measurable force that's repeatable on all tested knives the results are meaningless.

[@KageNoTora74]

420J2 or 3Cr13 are bargain stainless steels that are serviceable but require frequent sharpening and if you pay more than $8 for blades made of those steels you're getting ripped off.

Appreciate the review. Nearly bought a set of 4, and would have, but when I inquired about the leather scabbard (that is pictured on the purchase page) I was informed that scabbard/sheaths for all 4 knives would nearly double the purchase price. So I thought I'd better look a bit deeper. Great information.

[@keithdavies52]

I did buy a a few of these, some package deal. I was running late on gift ideas. I'll say that they are pretty awful. I was fairly embarrassed to give them as gifts.

[@bob_thebuilder]

I bought a non huusk knife with the same shape and no hole a few years back via Ali express. It is excellent quality steel that sharpens to shaving sharp and keeps its edge. I use it for butchering game and love it. Tried to get another a year later as a spare and it was a piece of crap!

[@derekhudson3415]

I made a knife out of O1 tool steel and....i couldn't even drill through the handle to attach a wooden grip, even using my milling machine with carbide drill bits.

I had a few too many beers one evening and bought a few of these knives. The website was sketchy and I ended up buying a bunch instead of a few. I made the purchase then was given options to add more knives and sheathes at a discounted rate. However, when you click the option to just look at it, it automatically bills you and ships it to you since they already have your cc information. So I ended up with 12 of these amazing knives. I called to see about a refund upon return and a woman answered the phone. It certainly wasn’t an office setting as there were chickens clucking in the background. I did not get my refund. In the end, it’s a nice POS knife, never to be used in a kitchen.

[@seneca1932]

It looks like a fighting knife that they decided to market as a kitchen knife. The reason I say that is because of the finger hole.

[@troystallard6895]

I would most certainly never stick my finger through that hole if I were fighting with it. Too easy for your opponent's blade to slide up yours on contact, and take the finger off. It would also make it awkward to maneuver, or to change my grip on the knife. While no expert, I am a bit of a buff when it comes to edged weapons - and I have never seen one with a finger hole, from any period in history.

I am not a knife enthusiast, but I like good sharp kitchen knifes that stay sharp reasonably long, arent difficult to sharpen and dont rust. I have bought some expensive knifes, and some cheap ikea ones. The ikea knifes are better…

[@Daddy007111]

Anyone with a little knife knowledge stayed away from those atrocities. I did enjoy your video. Hinesty

[@jimm244]

Anyone who shills for these knives has NO credibility ever.

[@gregmccormack5709]

Great Video and fair review. So many maufacturers are straight up lying about their knives. It's dissapointing and misleading to say the least.

[@dfailsthemost]

Yay, Pete. He doesn't lie for views. KZbin isn't how he pays his bills. KZbin is just how he pays for buying knives lol

[@leeebbrell9]

Ive seen the same type of adverts for tiny heaters which heat your home for next to no cost

[@kienhwengtai8113]

The shape on that is just weird, especially for a kitchen knife.

[@christaylor9095]

It looks kinda like an ulu with a side handle...

As Pete pointed out in his latest video, 420J2 has been used as a CLADDING steel for a very long time because of its toughness and rust resistance in San Mai style knives where the actual steel that forms the cutting edge is sandwiched in between 2 layers of it. Its not 1810 which is in fact a pot and pan stainless. 1810 heavy walled with a well attached encapsulated bottom on a pot or pan makes great everyday long use cookware, I have some that's over 30 years old . But its not knife steel. Its not even VG1 let alone Vg10. HUUSK is an IG rapid sale boot scraper knife brand sold to uninformed consumers. They sell the sizzle not the steak, and as we all know its Halloween season, but not even Michael Myers would be caught dead using it😂

[@patrickhender6242]

I love vg10 my fav kitchen steel

[@tikkidaddy]

I have an old Spyderco VG10 Delica, full SpyderEdge. Almost daily use. Excellent knife

[@theoriginalcripster]

Hahahahaha‼️‼️‼️ I saw the thumbnail and tapped. Would you believe the advert that played was for this very knife. Hahahaha‼️‼️

[@MikeJ602]

Thank you besides Pete you’re the first one I’ve seen talk real about these god awful knives. Pot steel dammit it’s made of pot steel. It’ll disperse heat well probably but it won’t hold an edge

[@annodomini7250]

Nice to see a fellow believer in 'god'.

[@MichaelMowl-kh1pm]

I have this knife. I bought it because of the amazing reviews and low price. I found the shape very awkward for kitchen use so I don’t use it. I still think it looks cool and I got it sharp with a stone. I keep it in the truck for times when I need a sturdy knife that I’m not afraid to abuse.

[@jerrydonquixote5927]

This poor guy on Facebook was trying to defend his purchase of this knife, bless his heart. Lol I said look dude you're not going to get Japanese Damascus steel for $20 you're not going to get it for $40, you're probably not even going to get Japanese Damascus for under $100! No he didn't just buy it once, not twice, he bought it three times! I said dude it's bad enough you got screwed the first time, but then you wanted to get screwed a second, and the third time, if you like buying pieces of $hit then buy more pieces of $hit, but they're still pieces of $hit!🙄

[@rastus666]

Is it just coincidence that your video opens with a commercial for a Huusk knockoff called a Mosato, or something like that?

[@colinburgess9455]

I’m sure husk knives will soon disappear, unfortunately the people behind this product won’t. These unscrupulous people will turn their efforts to something else that’s equally cheap to manufacture and just as low in quality, it could be anything. They’ll have a new name and a completely different company. Their marketing skills are undeniably excellent, it’s just a pity they don’t put their skills into something worthwhile.

[@scottragsdale8279]

excellent video. thank you for this!

[@imgadgetmanjim]

I know I will never buy one. I trust Pete and they are using terrible tactics. Not interested.

[@wilsonwombat3456]

Ironically, there was a huusk knife ad before this vid.

[@griffiths-handmade-knives]

I’ve held one. It billed as a kitchen knife, but it’s anywhere between 4 & 5 mm (5/32-3/16), which is the thicknesses I make hunting / outdoor knives with. It’s clumsy knife, but you know what it has going for it? It’s cheap, and there’s so many more people prepared to buy cheap knives than anything else. It’s so cheap they were able to send free ones to every sell out they could who would talk about it on their social media. You get what you pay for and this knife is like all the other mass produced garbage out there.

[@siddharthv2900]

Is that a martin mystere BGM ?

[@cocabandi]

Ever since these knives appeared in the market, all I've seen or read have been negative reviews. Yes, most likely it's cheap steel, made in China, not Japan, and some knife experts aren't happy with its geometry. I think I paid 12 bucks for it and wasn't expecting much. Surprisingly, I started enjoying using it in the kitchen. Because it dulls easily is no problem as I have a couple of honing steels to keep it sharp. I actually enjoy the blade geometry and use it a lot when cuttung up root veggies. But I also find it OK with things like onions, carrots and other veggies. Yes, I know Cedric made it sound like using this knife was equivalent to cutting with a tin can, but that's Cedric for you. I've since stopped watching him on KZbin but still continue to enjoy getting use of this particular knife in the kitchen.

[@Fuzzy88Man]

As soon as this video ended I got an ad for the same knife, showing all the same features but now going by Matsato. Did Huusk go under?

[@donwyoming1936]

I remember when these were marketed as skinning knives. Then the same knives were marketed as Viking knives. Now they're Japanese? C'mon, Huusk, make up your mind what these knives are supposed to be. Other than in the under $9 bin at Bud K. 🤠
