How do you feel about 9° bevel angle (vs the usual 15~20°)

I hear they're pretty good for cutting garlic so thin that you can liquefy it at low temperature.

>>9318117
That would be actually impressive if he was push cutting only, instead of using a slicing action

For such a thin bevel, unless you only ever cut tomatoes/fish/jello/etc have fun with tons of microchipping and folding edges

>>9318128
Sounds like a good system

>>9318128

Just use a razor blade for that. When i was in the can for a couple years thats what our guy would do when he made his pasta sauce. He always used too many onions though.

I have several myabis and I think they're over priced but absolutely useful for everyday work (at home). Not as good as a Shun by a small margin but absolutely capable of most knife work in the right hands.

The down side? They're rigid as fuck, meaning nothing in the Miyabi line is decent for deboning or breaking down at all. Great on vegetables, fruit or previously deboned meat...but don't expect to break down a lamb leg with one without fucking up your knife.

>>9318216
what you really need is a can soup lid. dice dice

>>9318636
My mom's Cutco knives have three rivets. They're currently useless from never being resharpened and put in dishwashers for decades.

>>9318672
Just send them in for the no questions asked lifetime warranty, they will sharpen, repair or replace them with knives of equal value

>>9318799
She doesn't want to be without them even though they're currently useless.

>>9318851
Send half now, half later

Or pick up a couple cheap knives that she can use while they are away, or loan a couple to her

>>9318900
She doesn't want to be without a single one of them and has been using the serrated ones for everything because the straight ones stopped working.

>>9318909
Call up a local representative, come of them do at home sharpening for free and you might be able to get them to trade them out on the spot if you explain the situation

Cutco aren't great but they do work pretty hard on customer satisfaction

>>9318909
Also, you should be able to sharpen the straight edge knives for her yourself

You can whet an edge, can't you anon?

>>9318955
I can, but I don't live there, and I'm not bringing my pre-soak blocks. I've already told her all that stuff and that Williams-Sonoma does one knife per visit for free. She just doesn't care.

>>9318636

Are you trogs still talking about Cutco ffs? Cutco is the Slap Chop of knives, basically a pyramid scheme with shitty chinese metal.

Someone needed to sharpen a serated edge, get a gouge stone.

>>9318967
>he fell for the Japanese water stone meme

>>9319063

what? Do you idiots just say "meme" with regards to everything these days?

>>9319063
It's actually a western brand. Aren't most Nip stones spray and go?

>>9319062
>basically a pyramid scheme with shitty chinese metal.

I agree with the first part, but Cutco knives are American made friendo

How much should I tip Cutco representatives when I don't buy their knives?

>>9319205
Just the tip.

>>9319067
Questioning the meme meme

>>9319194

I'd be amazed if the steel was American, but it could be. Regardless it's a scam on dumb Southern Americans who can't tell the difference. It's a multilevel marketing scam created to use paperboy kids to sell garbage to people in trailer parks.

Funny, what, like a clown? I amuse you?

>>9319281
>>9319287

Literally the only complaints I have ever heard about Cutco are from the people that work their about their business practices. The knives themselves are high-quality products. You seem unable to separate these two concepts and that frustrates me.

shun is literally the standard in overpriced garbage, especially their super brittle VG-10 blades

Kohetsu, misono, richmond, tojiro etc all make better blades that aren't ridiculously marked up

>>9319343

They're just not. I've had that garbage in my drawer. They're fucking soft garbage. Do what you want, but Cutco is a disgrace for culinary knives. I swear they have lead in them, they're so sloppy when you sharpen them. Soft, leady garbage. Like sharpening a pencil on a whetstone.

>>9319374
Funny, I too own some Cutco and actually find them to be harder than my other knives. This is specifically why I didn't buy their fillet knife; the ting was too rigid for my liking. I think you just need to work on your sharpening technique there bud.

I put my own edge on knives sl i dont care what the factory puts on them. Im not sure the exact angle i do, id guess around an 18° one

>>9321063
OK

>>9318967
Women, eh? Enough to drive a guy bonkers. I regularly sharpen my mother's knives, and the very first thing she usuallly does with them is cut some cake on a glass platter, or some shit directly on her granite countertop. It pisses me off so much.

>>9319114
It depends on how the abrasive particles in the stone are bonded. Some are splash and go, some need to be soaked beforehand, and some stones can even stay watered indefinitely so they are always ready.

>>9321150
Stop sharpening her knifes, then. I doubt she even asked you to.

>>9321157
>Stop sharpening her knifes, then. I doubt she even asked you to.
This.
Or, buy her a 4 or 6 stack of flexible plastic cutting boards that she can manage to lift up and tuck in the side of her dishwasher, so she is 1) never out of clean cutting boards resulting in using her counter, 2) not afraid to use one for cleaning, not wanting a wet one, or weight reasons.

>>9321063
Dang those Mercer handles look like exact copies of the Wüsthof Grand Prix I series, right down to that metal button. I always wanted one of those, but when I had enough money they had been replaced by the Grand Prix II series, with those ugly curved handles.

>>9321157
She actually didn't ask me, but occasionally I use those knives too.

I think 9° bevel angle is too low. Nobody nneds a knife with such a low angle and it gets pretty fragile. No wonder the Shuns are known for chipping. I have grown used to knives that have a little bit of resistance when cutting stuff and I actually prefer it to laser knives that just fall through stuff.

Dumb argument ... the next time you bake a surprise cake for somebody you won't mind if he says "I didn't ask you for it" and then feeds the cake to his dog? Because that is just what this is.

>>9321224
If I bake someone a surprise cake and they feed it to their dog, I won't bake any more cakes for them.
