Hi everyone a huge welcome to Steve's
Kitchen. I received a couple of chef's
knives in the post today and it would be
rude not to share them with you, so I'm
going to. Now this is not a sponsored
video but they are some gorgeous looking
chef's knives and I had a little chat
with the Sharpe Pebble, the company
that provided these knives and they're
going to give a discount, so if you're
looking for a chef's knife, obviously if
you're not don't hurry out and buy one
but if you are looking for a really good
quality knife, I think these are really
good value. Just come down here and have
a look at these two. So the standard
German 8-inch chef's knife comes in this
beautiful box, it has this timber sheath
which I think looks really gorgeous.
The Japanese chef's knife very gorgeous
knife by the way also comes with the
timber sheath, comes in this lovely
presentation timber box and I've got the
two whetstone, two sharp pebble wet
stones here as well. A little cleaning
stone and an angle sort of set for when
you're sharpening, I probably wouldn't
use this but they're good for beginners
if you've not sharpened a knife before.
Let's take a look, a little bit closer at
each of these knives. So pretty little
feature with these knives are these
wooden sheaths, they really are kind of
cool and good quality. They've got a
little sort of, sort of hold thing there
that stops them from coming out of the
sheath. When they come out you've got a
very sharp, very well balanced chef's
knife. This one is the German chef's
knife, it's got this gorgeous hilt on
here, the steel runs all the way through.
I love the little design Sharp Pebble
have done, a little bit of branding on
there. It's nicely balanced, a little bit
towards the front, good rocking action.
That is a gorgeous knife and I think
they've got a special deal on at the
moment at about $39.99 to $40 and
they're offering another 10%. I had a
little chat with them and that if you
are in the market for any of these
products you can get an extra 10% and
I'll leave details down below but I
think if you checkout, you've just got to put
in ChefSteve. That is a nice knife for
the price, I think this is excellent. Now
let's have a look at the the Japanese
knife because I think this, this is the
knife I really really love. It's a little
more expensive again they are
offering the 10% if you want to get across
and check it out. Take the safety off
first,
this knife is gorgeous.
It's a Japanese, I think it's a Rockwell
a 62 plus if I remember rightly, gorgeous
marking, typical of the the Japanese
8-inch chef's knife. Same sort of rocking
angle on there, this is a great knife. I'm
going to actually do a series of chef's
knife skills very shortly on Steve's
kitchen, I'll be using this knife
throughout. If you are looking for a
chef's knife I can highly recommend. I do
like the branding Sharp Pebble, it's
really good and I love the little
touches you know they've got these
stainless steel odor removing stones
which are kind of cool, the boxes and the
presentation are fantastic. I've got
these sharpening stones here as well,
my knives have been getting a little
blunter than they should. I've got a set
of Sharp Pebble whet stones I normally
just use the steel just to sort of put
an edge on there. The beauty of a good
quality chef's knife by the way is the
fact the steel is high quality. With the
cheaper knives
they're really just hardened the edge
and by the time they go blunt, you can
resharpen them but they're going to get
blunt very quickly. So whetstone is great.
I don't know how much these are, I don't
think they're that expensive, you can
check it out on SharpPebble.com. So two
gorgeous 8-inch chef's knives and I can
tell you if you were just starting out
in a culinary career this would be a
beauty to... to receive, so great gift.
Super sharp out of the box, I'll just get
a piece of paper, you can sort of see, I
haven't used this now but pretty much
without any effort that's going through
the paper and the nice thing about a
good Japanese steel like this, is it's
going to keep its edge for a long, long
time and pretty much the same thing with
the German knife as well.
It'll be razor sharp out of the box,
it'll keep its edge for a long, long time.
As I say I'll be doing a series on knife
skills very shortly on Steve's kitchen
and we'll also be doing something about
sharpening knives I'm sure in the
near future. So be good and share the
love, if you like this or if you don't like
it, whatever, give me some comments down
below. Give me some feedback and let me
know what you think. Be good and I will
see you very shortly, I feel like some
sort of knife murderer, here on Steve's
Kitchen.
