For all people who cheer for the old knife. Good kitchen knives are most likely out of a steel with 56-58 hrc(europe) or 60-62 hrc (japanese knives) the ceramic one has probably around 65hrc. Higher means harder. The thing is, the harder the cutting edge, the thinner it is shapened in order to be able to make use of it's advantages (sharper because it is still stable even with a very thin cutting edge). A harder steel stays longer sharp when used carefully but is also much more likely to break. Like the ceramic knife. So for this test harder steel is more likely to break and a disadvantage. Also its likely that the cutting edge of the old knife is much thicker and the angle of the cutting edge it larger. This makes it more robust and so it has another advantage here. So the old knife wins the test but it is not as sharp and therefore less suitable for the kitchen.

Rockwell hardness. At least in europe quite good kitchen knifes with 30€ and above pricepoint normally have it in their product description. In other countrys there are for sure other measurement standards for hardness. But if you know whats common in your country i am pretty sure you will find some conversion table if you search for it :) i dont know of any knife where the information of the hardness is printed on the knife. So its at least no common practice. As a thump rule, cheap knifes are normally not transparent about their hardness or maybe even not consistent so its pointless to find it out there. For good manufactures you should find the information on their product description. So for most home cooks 56 hrc is the better choice since they are cheaper and need much less care, except you want razor sharp knifes and are willing to spend some money and time.

I think 20 years ago it may have been the case that Knives at 62-63 HRC would be difficult to sharpen on because were mostly Aluminum Oxide sharpening stones or softer used back then if you only use normal water stones you may have problems. However with the widespread use of inexpensive diamond abrasives (Like DMT stones or plates, more recently sharpening sets from Worksharp) they don’t give much trouble. In some ways it’s easier to sharpen high hardness steel because the steel deburrs easier. I carry a pocket knife hardened to 65HRC with vanadium enriched tool steel and it doesn’t give me any trouble on a $30 pocket sharpener. I only really have trouble sharpening really cheap soft stainless because the burr is gummy and won’t detach, or the apex crumbles every time I try to apex it.

Fun fact: The function of knife is not use to cut another knife. The price is not important, as long as it can cut the vegetables, fruits and meat.

Not the best comparison fince the Swiss and Japanese knives are full flat brings and the cheap and old only have a small bevel and are mostly full thickness stock. You can see in the Japanese vs Old that the oldis cut right to the point of it's bevel and once it's at full thickness it becomes thicker than the Japanese knife and is much harder to cut now. Still a great video that shows that things used to be made better before and you get what you pay for. A cheap $2 knife is much softer than a $110 Japanese one and will get duller much faster.

One small factor in the old vs new knives, beyond the particular profile of the blade, is that we have 'improved' our materials production to the point where we can specify a material for a particular job within small tolerances. Obviously no kitchen knife should ever be used to cut another kitchen knife so there is no good reason to produce a blade that can do this well. Older knives will not have quite as precise material specifications and so the tolerances will have been larger to allow for material differences and to ensure no premature failure. In other words, 'quality' may not mean that the product is capable of much more than it was designed for, rather that it is made with efficient use of materials and manufacturing processes while still being fit for purpose.

But THE OLD knife does make a good point, the fact that todays knives are supposed to be like magical in their cutting edge when it's just the fact that they're slim Asian Style, designs, thanks to the economy of scales and modern metallurgy. OLD European/American style knives are made to occasionally hit a bone, so versatility IS KING. Super slim knives like the Japanese make are made for processing soft, vegetables and boneless fish. They Are incredibly sharp but also very delicate and will chip when hitting hard bone. So both STYLE KNIVES are perfect for what they need to do, but one is not inherently better than the other.

Interesting video, but it's much like the battle between materials. The higher the carbon in the steel the harder, while keep the tenacity from cracking like the ceramic will perform well in this test, but not necessary the best to do the job. As for the sharpness test. Any knife can be sharpened razor sharp, but stay for how long.

The price of a blade is not the ease of cutting, but the hardness of the blade. Cheap blades can be sharpened quickly, but the blades are soft, so they will soon lose their sharpness after use. However, expensive blades are hard, so it is difficult to sharpen them, but once the blade is firmly attached, it will not lose its sharpness even after many years of use.

The steel of knives is mainly made of iron and carbon(also chromium for stainless)...carbon improves hardness of steel to make the blade sharper but less strength and easier to chip... The blade with more carbon most likely more expensive (1-1.5% carbon in Japanese blade or 0.5-0.6% in German blade)... that's why the old knife seems to have more durability than the expensive knives bcos it might have less carbon and also the thickness of the edge... to me i prefer sharp knives over the unbreakable dull knives...

Interesting experiment. I could tell the old knife was a good one straight away because of the way the handle was fitted and an old knife only survives if its a good one. It didn't cut well because it needed to be sharpened really carefully on a good wet stone and then honed. I bet it would hold an edge well.

It is a stupid test. Cutting needs thinness, otherwise you could use a brick to cut your bread. But thin structures are weaker than thick ones. The sharpness of a knife comes from the most thinest parts of the blade. It is easy to break thin things, which is why you have to sharpen your knife. Then cutting does not come from pressing the knife. This is a complete wrong way of using it. So it does not need to stand a pressure of 500kg. On the wrong surface - some use glass cutting boards instead of those made of wood - you easily lose the sharpness of the knife since glas is a very hard material and the sharpest part of the knife is at the same time its weakest part. It is also no surprise that the ceramic knife is breaking under pressure. Ceramic is used, because it is extremely hard but not because it is very flexible. So it breaks easily. On the other side due to its hardness it stays much longer sharp.

This is essentially a hardness test. The cheaper knives tend to use a high carbon steel and focus on edge retention. Ie holding the factory ground edge for as long as possible. The more premium knives will be sharper- they use a lower carbon steel but can have a better edge profile. They are razor sharp but won’t hold the edge long- which isn’t important to the professional- as they will check their knives daily/weekly/monthly depending upon use. The average person won’t be stropping or sharpening their knives in quite the same fashion and will not be impressed at having to do so- hence the ‘blunter’ edge, but harder material.

So what's the hardness, edge retention, or anything else that matters when cutting vegetables?

Good quality ceramic knives can be very sharp but are fragile. I wish you had given more information on the old knive besides just old. Knives have always varied in quality, if the old knife was high quality steel made in Solingen Germany your results would have been much different. It looked like a cheaply made old knife. Like somebody else mentioned the supposedly Japanese knife was probably actually Chinese- real high quality Japanese knives are very expensive and hard to come by. Although in reality a high quality homogenous steel knife is actually stronger and has no laminations to fracture.

I don't understand how to compare incomparable things. It's the same as comparing the color with a square. Knives should take a sharp edge as long as possible, can be easily to sharp, and should be not too heavy and comfortable for use. In this case you just compare the material of the knife blade on the point of dissection under the pressure. What information do we take as useful? No any. But some people just take the wrong info that the good Japanese or Switzerland knife is the same as cheap fakes. Nice. Thank you.

It should be tested both what i mean is the knife should be tested both for bottom without force and top with force the main reason behind it is because the one who applied the pressure has the advantage

This is basically like comparing a lorry or truck or a WWII personnel carrrier to a Ferrari or lamborghini by crashing them into each other and then declaring the truck a better made vehicle.

So where can I buy an old cheap Japanese knife made in Switserland?

What about the knife geometry?!

thanks for the video !

You gotta try the Albacete, Spain knives.

This is how uzui tengen forged his swords

Damascusean steel is making good. Durable, sharply and badass. Respect 🍷🗿

If you watching to "Forged in Fire" series about that how making to different blades, the damascusean steel has in. But the google is your friend, russian dude. No offense about your race, seriously. I respect everyone except the weak others like gay people. I know that did not belong here, but at least i want to be honest. Because i'm not cow and narcisstic. I'm just a straight people. I learning anything that making me stronger. You don't believe, right? Ask Trump! He believe that being peace of between worlds, and they want to changing president equals to want to be suicide. That's all.
