As always, Thank you.
My Farberware chefs knife is still my favorite for most kitchen cutting and cuts better than my kamikoto chefs knife which shocked the hell out of me (I inherited the farberware when I bought my house!!)…tbf its been sharpened a LOT over the years…
I LOVE ZWILLING and or WHUSTOF Brands, plus lifetime replacement warranty worth the extra money.
China contest. Test an American made product even if it’s twice the price of the most expensive! I want to support American made and I trust your testing so please add
Made In The USA!!
The four scariest words in the English language for any manufacturer of a product: When Project Farm says "We're gonna test that!"
This chef of uh hum years doesn’t like super sharp knives for general use. Sure, gimme a blade to cut deco in dough, but I received a super nice super sharp knife set. I put it in the cabinet for special use. If I used super sharp blades like I did when my jobs would pay for weekly sharpening I cut myself regularly. Now I have a $25 Amazon set. I sharpen it when I need to. Be safe! Oh ya! Bertarelli Cutlery on The Hill in St Louis in case you’re looking for a day trip. Experience authentic Italian culture in an isolated neighborhood loaded with restaurants full of heritage as well of architecture to keep you interested. Have fun!
I want to see you test:
White steel #1 knives
Vs white steel #2 knives
Vs blue steel #1 knives
Vs blue steel #2 knives
From what I understand – these are the types of steel used in some Japanese
knives…
Maybe look into it, you might find it interesting.
Dang I was hoping to see Carote in here. I love mine and just bought a set for my daughter, and previously bought a set for an ex. They seem great, curious how they would stand up. They are usually 60 to 80 or so, can be found on sale for 40 to 50
These are all low quality brands. I wish your test had inckuded some of the brands that are recommended by chefs as being high quality low budget options and that use german or japanese steel – such as mercer (genesis or rennaissance line), victorinox (fibrox pro), and winco (stahl). It would also be cool if you included some of the higher end brands like wustoff
stop the china crap,please
Would like to see these tests featuring premium quality knives. I use Wustoff.
I used to sell Cutco back in the day and I guarantee they would destroy all of these ones. They are without a doubt the best knives I have ever used but they were like $250 per set. I still have some that have been going strong for over 20 years..
I have a $10 chef knife and an $80 one.
I almost always reach for the cheap one. The thinner metal makes it easier and faster to sharpen. A few strokes on a whetstone and it’s done. The heavy knife is a pain to sharpen and never seems to get as sharp.
I’ll grab the heavy knife if I am cutting up a whole chicken or something heavy duty but otherwise it’s definitely not my favorite.
Have heard great things about Cangshan from Costco.
I see what Farberware was going for. They (in my opinion) correctly assume that the average buyer will never sharpen their knives or won't know how to do so properly, so they serrated the edges all over so that sharpness matters less for the average user. Is it a good approach? No, but it makes complete sense.
People can base their quality judgement however they like by when I pull my Wusthof out of the block it rings like a bell. It's like a tuning fork or something and makes me feel like I'm drawing Excalibur from the stone. It's awesome. Cheap knives don't do that. They sound dull, no music. Even if a knife cost 1000x more, held an edge forever and came with a free entourage of adoring fans, it will wouldn't be as good a knife if it didn't go, "Schliiiiiiing" when I pull it out of the block.
Global knives are the best.. at sitting in the display block on my kitchen bench.
So uncomfortable if you have a medium to large size hand. I was afraid to use them in case I accidentally dropped or knocked them and damaged them.. at least this review has given me the confidence to know they are durable.
the best cheapest knife solution is a blank block, a set of Victorinox polymer handle stead knives and one Victorinox chef knife purchased separately, you'll probably never buy another knife unless you get real serious about cooking.
The one thing I understand about all these videos is that nearly all advertisements are BS.
As someone who does the majority of cooking in my household, I always have had good luck with Henchels knives and they're widely available. Other than pots/pans, never had good luck with Farberware.
I would like you to try Cutco Knives .
