[@Idkprobablyyeet]

Well jack, 2 things. 1: It's not steel, it's ceramic. Yes, it broke, but you can't blame the knife because you were cutting wood. 2: When have you ever cut a food that is as hard as wood? The knife won't break in food.

[@wisthekiller]

"Ever cut a food that's as hard as wood?" Spaghetti squash.

[@andythegreat101]

***** the whole point is that ceramic blades aren't built for cutting hard materials. It should be kept to cutting fruits and vegetables. No matter if it's the Yoshi blade or any ceramic blade, they aren't made for hard materials.

[@andythegreat101]

***** haha your right. I have a ceramic knife and it works great but it's too limited to what I can use it for.

[@waislandman6843]

***** Do you use a sledge hammer to drive in a penny nail to hang a picture? Correct tool for the right job...

[@waislandman6843]

Fair enough. I own both and use them for their proper uses. Wasn't trying to start a war of words...

[@LiveFraBremenstyrer]

You can't blame the knife because it doesn't work at things it's not designed to. That's like saying a car is shit because it can't float

[@uf4974]

"This things breaking like crazy, maybe it wasn't such a good idea to cut wood with it" *keeps cutting wood with it* 😑😑😑😑

[@tesihmil]

+Umbreen Fatmah Yea - not for the wood! It's NOT!! ...duhh.

[@ArronUmberger]

In defense of the Yoshi blade, trying to dull the knife wasn't very smart. lol. Even high quality ceramic blades would chip or even shatter under such abuse. Under normal, non-abusive, circumstances, the blade should last for years.

[@jasone3962]

it's a ceramic blade!!!!!!!!! not for cutting wood 🙈

[@tesihmil]

+Jason Esquibel Dohh! - YES!! :/ *disaster*

[@freedomofnow]

+Jason Esquibel Thank you. You can't dull those knives, but you can break them. There's like a basic knowledge of how these products work, and that knowledge is completely missing. :p

[@LasermanSteam]

even so they crack on regular use too, we have like 5 ceramic knifes and all of them chipped pretty badly

[@Diabolus1978]

+Martin Lindgren u can dull them they are like all knives they need to be sharpened

[@dannyboyle6500]

*breaks knife* *notices he broke knife* *continues to break knife* "Uh, looks like that wasn't the best idea." C'mon Jack.

[@Siryath]

Is this a joke channel? Like the onion but more subtle and for cooking?

[@LongboardGuy167]

I think the funniest thing is that both the warning sign AND the usage booklet would have told this guy that ceramic blades are extremely brittle and that you shouldn't apply unnecessary pressure to them. But oh well. To each their own, I suppose.

[@BestefarFissk]

0 knife skills. -1 if it was possible.

[@ttttiiimmy10bit]

This give me a fantastic new recipe idea; celery salad with toasted wooden croutons !!! Garnished with the finest fragments of a ceramic knife.

[@OckGypsy]

XD

[@MrClorkie]

You should probably learn how to use a knife correctly..

[@MrClorkie]

Hurts my eyes everytime

[@thatparappatherappermeme8834]

MrClorkie Suddenly, Mario Profile Picture.

[@TurfSurf]

it's in the instruction that you are not suppose to cut bones or hard items or drop it, it's ceramic

[@Startsingingnow]

It is ceramic, of course it will break if you try to cut wood with it! jajaja

[@selfishlyintrigued]

Problem comes down to lying. If your advert shows it doing something, it better will do it.

[@Jrenyar]

JamesCizuz Does the yoshi blade say it cuts through wood? probably not because it's not a saw, its a knife, unless it was maybe serrated, no knife will cut through wood. Because it's no designed to. Anyway don't trust Jack, his reviews will always go beyond what they're meant to, because he doesn't like the product. His metal knife wasn't shaping up to well against the yoshi blade , so he has to think of something that will definitely make his knife look good. He's biased.

[@selfishlyintrigued]

Jrenyar I'm not defending jack but yeah it does say it can go through wood. If you say or show a product doing something; it better do it.

[@Jrenyar]

JamesCizuz Where does it say that? Show me a source and I'll believe you, because I doubt people who make ceramic knives are stupid enough to say that. (FYI I've seen the advert and it doesn't say/show cutting wood anywhere)

[@bestdogever1287]

well last time i checked chef knives are for food, not wood why do we care if it doesnt cut through wood :/

[@nudope3799]

9:08 jack learns how to use a peeler correctly

[@JgHaverty]

WHY WOULD YOU DEMO A KNIFE TO CUT A WOODEN HANDLE..... I dont think my damascus knife would make it through that thing...

[@sleestack13]

"The peeler seems to work nicely, so let's douse it in gasoline, set it ablaze, and run it over with a truck".

[@cookingwithjackshow]

@MrMichael520 why. It doesn't really matter any more after the first break. 1 break or 5 breaks and it's still useless.

[@thomaspigg306]

I have had a Yoshi knife ever since they first came out. Still have it and with a little knowledge you can sharpen them, but I'd suggest that you understand what your doing first. First off, its a CERAMIC blade, that means NOT STEEL!!!! There are limitations to this type of knife. And if you'd care to watch the video again, you can cut just about anything with a ceramic blade that you canna steel blade. I don't know many people that would try to cut a bone (or wooden spoon: ie; dumbass) with a steel knife let alone a ceramic one. Goes back to the old saying, "use the right tool for the job". You wouldn't try to put out a house fire with a fly swatter so why use a knife to try to cut through a bone. That's why the " cleaver" was invented. As far as sharpening one, you have to get a stone that's specifically made to sharpen ceramic in order to do so. Knowing this idiot, he'd probably use a regular sharpening stone on this, or worse yet, one of those "quick sharpening" deals, you know, the one with the little steel blades in it that you either run your knife across, or you run it across your knife.. You know, the one he said he used to sharpen a surrated knife. Come on, most people know that if your going to sharpen a surrated blade knife, you take it to someone that has a machine specifically designed to sharpen it. And if your going to sharpen a steel bladed knife, please at least practice on a blade that you can throw away if your skills aren't up to the test. I don't know everything, OK! But I've been sharpening knives now for about 50 years. It took me about a year to really get REAL good at it. And yes Jackie, there's more to sharpening a blade than just dragging it across a stone. If you think otherwise, I don't want you near my blades. I'm glad he actually took the time to bend over and get the care instructions for the Yoshi. They are a great knife, once you learn the limits of it. Like I said, I cut everything with mine except for rocks, firewood and dinosaur bones.

[@thomaspigg306]

louis porcellini A little knowledge goes a long way!

[@Falcodrin]

some ways of preparing chickens have you pushing the blade down through several ribs. The warning about boneless is hopefully to prevent people from doing that

[@kingdom7777777]

He is so bad, that im starting to think that he is Trolling...

[@JosePerez-bh4jo]

it makes me cringe 😭

[@adamtacata589]

Gordon Ramsay should react to his knife skills and his stupidity

[@Smidday1]

Anybody else cringe watching him slice?

[@Sluxslol]

did you also try to peel the spoon?

[@jebronlames5997]

You can't cut diamonds with it?! What a piece of crap.

[@GlorifiedArchitect]

Sorry Jack, but your knife skills scare me 🙈

[@Dollapfin]

Ceramic blades are not designed to cut wood. That’s why they’re not used in survival knives.

[@genepark6923]

I've had a yoshi knife for several years and it is still very sharp. It is used everyday. However, I've never used it to saw wood. The comparison knife is cheap and I wouldn't allow it in my kitchen. Mine came with the peeler and it worked very well, but I prefer my old fashioned stainless steel peeler that must've cost $.75 when I bought it 40 years ago. To sharpen it I run the slit of the blade over the tip of the butchers steel.

[@Dominikmj]

That is pretty stupid. You have to use a tool, for what it is made for. Ceramic knives (even the expensive ones) are amazing to cut fruit (acidity usually degrade metal and makes knives dull), vegetables, meat... for hard cheeses (or soft cheeses), wood (wtf!!!) and other things, you use a different knife! Yes - this knife is not made for morons. And if anyone believes that a knife is staying sharp forever... well I don’t know about this person...

[@kylelombardi7906]

Can't believe he used a ceramic knife on wood and was surprised when it broke

[@archetypalculinarian]

Hard cheese = Parmesan, Romano, and the like, soft cheese = colby, cheddar, mozzarella, Swiss and the like... if you’ve spent time around food you don’t need to send cheese out to be tested to tell if it’s a hard cheese or not.

[@Lamarsh67]

Someone get this guy out of the kitchen, forever.

[@Xani13]

RapiDSpacE13 His knowledge of cooking devices surpasses mine but as to his culinary skills, I can honestly say I am unsure who would be more adept. Granted my knowledge has been imparted from various sources including family, friends, and professional chefs. Clarification: I am not saying that I, by any means, am anything more than an amateur; I am merely implying that I have been watching and learning from several sources. Lol

[@Rapid98k]

SS4Xanatos Unrelated question, but does SS4 in your name represent anything?

[@Xani13]

RapiDSpacE13 Lol. Yeah. I created this name back in 2007 during my Freshman year of college. I am a big fan of both the Dragonball series and Star Wars. The SS4 stands for Super Saiyan 4. Xanatos is the Jedi-turned-Dark-Jedi Apprentice of Qui-Gon Jinn before he took Obi-Wan Kenobi as his Apprentice in lieu of Xanatos. :D

[@Rapid98k]

I knew it! Super Saiyan 4. DBZ for lyfe! Or GT, as you know, SS4.

[@Xani13]

RapiDSpacE13 :D And when I say I am a Star Wars fan, I want to say I am a TRUE Star Wars fan - meaning a fan of what is now considered to be non-canon...97% of the storyline - the Expanded Universe. What Disney has managed to destroy/remake into their image, I consider to be an alternate timeline (it's the only way I can watch it and still be a fan of the franchise without raging over everything that was lost).

[@cookingwithjackshow]

@ThorMaxx Yes. I will use this new one on veggies, but can I cut carrots, what if I hit the pit of an avacado. That's what bothers me. Not sure when it will chip.

[@athirarraafi]

Thats not a product review thats product insulting vid

[@CatherineonCandy]

OMG! When it chipped, omg that was HILARIOUS!! Episodes like theese make me love watching you!!

[@barryclevenger7456]

I can't recall using a slice of wood on any of my sandwiches.

[@maxxh5331]

Personally, I prefer a wood burrito.

[@BrittneyReneeB]

So my stepmom and I were looking for the 'big boss grill' infomercial one night, and we ended up on your review. We ended up watching your channel till 4 am. lol. But now everytime we see anything we say 'we want Jack to review it' lol. Well... we were up till 4 am watching infomercials again and we saw one for 'OrGREENic kitchenware'. You need to review them! They look awesome! But we only trust your opinion now. lol. :D -- BTW we loved the review of the Yoshi Blades. we were cracking up!

[@TheANiMeCrAzY21]

I laughed my ass off every time he chipped some of the knife off. XD

[@cookingwithjackshow]

@FrailShiver Glad you had a great Thanksgiving. Thanks for watching.

[@JenniferJoachims]

you say it's a fail even though it's your fault for using it on wood.

[@italian4557]

"somewhere in my food is a ceramic piece of chunk" didn't break any pieces on food.

[@stap1er]

*warning! read before opening!* "pfff. stupid." *slice* "ooh there goes my thumb."

[@thugasaurusrex6004]

Can't blame the knife here. It's ceramic. It's not supposed to be cutting wood.

[@purplemutantas]

A much better test would be a quality PROPERLY sharpened straight edge knife VS the Yoshi blade. The yoshi may be sharp out of the box, but i would imagine it wouldn't stand up to a decent stainless steel knife that is properly maintained. It seems the target market for the yoshi is people who don't know how to care for a knife. Those are the kind of people that will end up chipping the blade. I am sure most yoshi owners put their knife in the dishwater. "never needs sharpening" is just marketing BS. ALL knives will dull at some point. It's best to stay away from gimmicks and get a real knife and learn how to maintain it. You should ditch the silly serrated knife for a good/decent plain edge knife and a good sharpening system. I use a honing steel and spyderco triangle sharpmaker to maintain my knives. Works great.

[@CrazyFreak714]

So what was the point with the knife cutting on wood?? And he scammed Wallmart.

[@DustinRodriguez1_0]

Heh, as soon as he said 'I'm going to try to dull it' I said 'he's going to chip it!' Ceramic knives are not like steel knives! They are super super hard and you can not use them on hard things that would seriously dull steel knives. You're not supposed to use them on glass cutting boards either or, they say, with meat with bones... I don't have one (yet, I want one) but I am guessing the boned meat is only a problem if you actually hit the bone... I've never tried to slice through bone with any knife, and I'd use a boning knife to debone stuff anyway.

[@TransplantHelper]

I’m watching old videos but the are still great. I use ceramic knives also. I love the sharpness but I dropped one on the floor and it shattered so I wasn’t surprised when your broke

[@BlackVelvetDaydream]

Yeah, ceramic blades are extremely sharp and they have ridiculously good edge retention. However, they're not very easy or smooth to sharpen, should the blade dull. Thankfully that's not likely.

[@piecugaming4584]

So hostile for what reason.

[@invader_ren5974]

why so cocky

[@alidan]

the problem is with such a thin edge, the chip VERY easily even on things they were made to cut

[@cookingwithjackshow]

@kenziekae02 to dull the blade. it claims it stays sharp forever.

[@alexthermostat694]

Ahahahaha i really think its funny that hes trying to cut like a profesionall all fast and atuff but he cant and hes just messing up. Dude, slow down.

[@cookingwithjackshow]

@iLovemusic3124 it's ceramic. A brittle hard white very sharp stone material

[@steph3593]

...try a saw if your into cutting wood.

[@steph3593]

you're*

[@thephenomenalcrew]

10 more away tell the BIG 100! Congratz on how far the show has come Jack! I've been around watching u since like episode 30...

[@dieselaf6292]

Not a genius are you? It's ceramic! Not meant to cut wood. Mong!

[@KWEIEWKDNBWKDBXF]

dude why are you ackting like yo have never seen wood geting cut its not exsideing

[@dieselaf6292]

[@KWEIEWKDNBWKDBXF]

ok im just an littel kid

[@dieselaf6292]

Where is your parents then little mong? They shouldn't be letting you scour the Internet at 5 years old!

[@SlaveDanLevi]

When you test something, go as far as you can. That's the idea.

[@IzludeTingel]

Damascus chef's knives on ebay for $40, that's all you'll ever need. Learn to sharpen them and they'll serve you well for a good long time.

[@cookingwithjackshow]

@tombojombo to dull the knife and see if it still cuts.

[@sp00kypink]

Why are you slicing the sausage while it is in the plastic...

[@kylkinger]

A lot of people do that. I think its just easier than removing all of the plastic from the sausage. If you think about it, it also keeps the sausage "Fresher" because you still have about 90% of the original vaccum sealed package on it.

[@sp00kypink]

Really?! I would think the plastic would be harder to remove this way! That's interesting, I'll have to try it that way then. :)

[@kylkinger]

It is kinda weird when you think about it..... I'm not sure which way is "Better" but I've always seen people cut through sausage and cheese with the plastic still on them. Hm, wonder who first thought of that idea.....

[@tarfathewise]

The amount of cringe here is amazing.

[@Krassi-nb8me]

i loved the reaction when you wrecked the ceramic knife! epic!

[@dasisosa23]

I wanna scream at you.

[@cookingwithjackshow]

@karrybear I have the apple case. It works perfect for me and keeps it slender looking. other cases are too bulky.

[@mjSnap]

hmm, if that leaves shards of sharp material when it breaks, it's not safe for food use... it could kill you if it chips off into some food and you don't notice in time.

[@SumDuud]

I can assure you that it will not leave shards of sharp metal if it breaks (since it is a ceramic knife)

[@mjSnap]

haha, point taken... but if it leaves shards of sharp *anything* it's not suitable for use with food

[@jackmartin3576]

I don't think you will be cutting wood to eat so I wouldn't worry about it breaking

[@SumDuud]

Might be cutting meat with a bone.

[@jackmartin3576]

Good point but you should really be using a boning knife

[@FrailShiver]

Happy Thanksgiving Jak! :D (still 1 more hour of turkey day for me anyways). So happy to see the product review~ They are my favorite of your videos.

[@robertmurillo2888]

who that?

[@NobleSpartan27]

underrated comment, im sorry but I had to necro it

[@Olpaj]

First of all, why would anyone want ceramic over a regular, steel knife. What's wrong with metal? Just get a good knife and a sharpening stone and it will serve you for years.

[@themercifulservant4345]

do you even know how to respect things even they dissapoint you, you dont respect the knife after its broke because your own unintellegent experiment with wood, you dont even know Mosh Scale, learn anything else except cooking

@PammieChan I was just using the wood to dull the blade.

[@Mooza1]

You need one of those kid's safety knives. And a helmet.

[@YellowBaffin]

That's the point with Ceramic/High Rockwell steel knives ; Stay sharp for very long times, but more susceptible to chip when using against : - things you never should use your knives against - (like WOOD, BRICKS, BONES or other stupid things) "Oh my god, my knife is supposed to stay sharp my entire life, and look at that : It broke when i tried to slice concrete. Refund!"

[@PatGencarelli]

:i dont know how this stuff works" ... its a knife and a peeler....

[@mastoidrama]

I love your product reviews, they're so funny. Keep reviewing products!

[@HanDidAThing]

idk how I ended up here but all these comments about the wood cutting thing have you ever seen commercials for these kind of knives? They show people cutting wood, or like this one did a pineapple, and then right to something soft like tomatoes. He was replicating the way the commercials show the knives and also in the very beginning he said "I don't know the best test for knives" so ....

[@LiveFraBremenstyrer]

They didn't show the Yoshi blade cutting wood. a Ceramic blade is good because it stays sharp and if you take care of it it won't break.

[@KWEIEWKDNBWKDBXF]

***** yes they did wen the yoshi blade`s first comershial

[@vonWolfeXIII]

Well yeah but they don't do it with CERAMIC KNIVES, any half wit wouldn't do that.

[@Chemeleon15]

GamerGirl do you have a link to it on youtube? The only ones i found showed the blade taking filings off a sharpening(straightening) steel. i can't find it ever being used on wood.

[@KWEIEWKDNBWKDBXF]

oh ill find it for you

[@cookingwithjackshow]

@SkateBoardingIsGnarr this house was build in the 60's and that was when women stayed home and cooked, cleaned and did laundry. They felt that this was convenient for the women to not have to leave the kitchen when they cooked or cleaned. All the houses in my neighborhood are build this way. Some have remodeled them and moved them somewhere else.

I have a Yoshi Blade, I've had it for over 10 years and it cuts just like it did on day one. One of my favorites. I had the vegi peeler, but one of my kids dropped it on the floor and it shattered. The peeler was my favorite as well.

[@allcapwilly2353]

wow, imagine all the uncut wood in your house... sick

[@wesleywilliam2007]

Of course it broke. It's ceramic. It is very brittle and can't withstand what a steel blade could handle.

[@cookingwithjackshow]

@Daveed84 I did go back and read it. In fact this video shows why you should read the directions.

[@Thaneii]

Ceramic blades suck. They are too fragile, and only idiots like them. If you drop it on the floor, it will break, or even shatter. On a good day, I'm really clumsy, and drop stuff all the time, so I'll take metal any day. I have knives that are decades old, and when properly sharpened with a stone and steel, they'll do just a good of a job, and do NOT fall apart.

[@MrAnxZiety]

Well, If you're not a clumsy idiot with knives, then it wouldn't shatter, now would it?

[@Thaneii]

Kenny McCormick I'm not a clumsy idiot, just clumsy, because I have Rheumatoid Arthritis in my hands and wrists.

[@MrAnxZiety]

Wasn't saying you specifically.

[@Thaneii]

Kenny McCormick No harm, no foul. Nice save. Let's work best with the things that work best for us. Perhaps I was too harsh in saying only idiots like them. I just have a need to rely on a knife that won't shatter when my hands stop working, and I can't hold on to things. I'm sorry if I offended you in my original statement.

[@MrAnxZiety]

Thaneii It's fine. Sorry it seemed like a snapped.

[@faithfullee9689]

I love this channel. Jack you're hilarious!

[@jrgen9645]

well, probably never going to watch more from you...

[@Kitsune-DAS]

.......It's a food knife............. It's not a saw. Also, in what universe are all knifes universally made for cutting through meat bones? What on earth. It's sold for a purpose, of course it'll break if it's used outside that purpose. This is like complaining that your nail file goes dull while trying to sand a piece of furniture.

[@nepneppe3645]

[@cookingwithjackshow]

@Jonesman08 I will start wearing it again if you want. the other one was bigger, but now I am losing weight, I will go back to the sauce apron. :D

[@professionalskit24]

The do work good but did u sharpen the metal knife before u used it cuz the yoshi was new

[@shortyaep73]

I have had my Yoshi blade for years. If you read the instructions it tells you not to use it on marble and other products. I love it and this is the knife I use on everything. You can even use it on meats with bones.

[@ReptilesEHH]

The knife didn't break but because you put it in the groove in the wooden spoon and the slight bend of the knife will cause it to chip as it is a ceramic knife. Its like when you drop your ceramic mug and it chips, your putting a force on the ceramic and causes it to chip.

[@cookingwithjackshow]

@Msjanedoe124 neither are metal knives. It was the perfect dulling test.

[@U2SaxFan]

Thanks for the review. I've always seen the Yoshi Blade in catelogues and was very close to getting one, but after I saw this review, I'm rethinking. When you were cutting the spoon and it chipped, I was thinking "What if that was me trying to separate chicken pieces?" Then when you said that the instructions said to only use it on veggies, fruit, bread and soft cheeses, but not hard cheese that turned me off. How hard is too hard? Maybe if I see it on sale I'll get it, since the peeler's nice.

[@cookingwithjackshow]

@may2006315 everyone has an opinion and I accept them all. Thanks for your input.

[@photogal136]

we have a knife like that too (i dont think it is yoshi though). And we can put it in a dishwasher or else it will break. was it that way for you too?

[@cookingwithjackshow]

@BlueBajs international dishes are in January

[@RickyP033]

Knives I found whether $1 or $100 will dull in time...the basic difference is how long it will take to dull it...even the Miracle Blades. Further, I've had 2 of these knives...one cracked when I drop it and the other's handle came loose from the blade.

[@joelee7814]

The next time I'm making a dish that calls for "1/2 cup of chopped wooden spoon" I certainly won't be using my Yoshi blade.
