Hello and welcome to in the kitchen with Matt
I am your host Matt Taylor.
Today I have another product review episode
for you.
I'm going to be reviewing my the chef's club
knife it's a new knife that I have and I'm
also going to do a little mini showdown between
my new chef's knife against my other ones
that I've been using.
So should be pretty fun, pretty awesome, let's
get started.
Alright this is my new knife the chef's club
edition, and one thing I noticed is this made
with a matrix powder steel, not sure exactly
what that means but it is one full piece of
steel and it's actually surprisingly light
for how big it is and it just looks really
really cool.
One thing I do like is I love how it fits
in my hand.
It fits really well in my hand so that's pretty
cool and it's really really sharp, pretty
pretty neat.
And now I'm going do a little showdown between
that knife and my trusty Cutco knife.
I've been a Cutco knife user for quite a while
I love my Cutco knives.
And then I have my smaller chef's knife, it's
a Japanese knife the brand is Shun.
It's a very good knife as well so I'm just
going to do a little mini showdown with these
knives and just see how they compare.
I'm not going to be doing a whole lot of different
things just two different ingredients that
we're going to cut into.
Alright I have this corn on a cob that's still
in its husks I wanted to use the corn because
it's pretty hard on the inside and it's got
this fibrous husk on the outside that if you
don't have a very good knife it's really hard
to cut all the way through one of these.
And so what I'm going to do is I am going
to first start with my little Shun classic
or Shun knife.
Do I'm just going to give it a cut and ideally
I would have the same thickness going on I'm
just going to give it a cut like right about
here.
Okay that was not super easy to cut through
I got through it wasn't super easy and also
I'm sitting down so everything is going to
be the same way.
Normally I would stand it makes it easier
to cut when you're standing.
Now I'm going to use my trusty Cutco knife.
It did a little bit better wasn't quite of
a straight cut through this part of the husk.
Now let's try out this the chef's Club knife.
All right so that was definitely the winner,
nice clean straight cut look at how clean
that cut is pretty awesome that's actually
really cool.
So that point goes to the chef's Club knife
now let's go on to the tomato.
All right now I have a tomato here generally
when I would cut Tomatoes I would use a serrated
edged knife one thing that interests me about
the chef's Club knife was there was a viral
video on Facebook where a guy took the knife
and he didn't hold tomato he just stood here
like this just cut right through tomato.
I don't have that high of hopes but I do want
to test these knives on this tomato.
I'm going do my Shun classic first.
First I'm just going to try to do it without
holding the tomato.
Nope it's not going to work because it's just
going to push it over.
So I'm just going to hold it here.
I wouldn't normally cut a tomato this way
just to show you.
Okay I mean it cuts through it pretty well.
Now I want to go on to my Cutco knife.
Slices through it pretty well.
And now the chef's Club knife I'm going to
try to do it without holding it.
Nope but I'm just going to give it a hold
down at the bottom.
And it cuts through it really well able to
get a nice thin cut.
Now I'm going to turn to the side like this
this is how you normally would cut sliced
tomato.
Cuts through it like butter back to the Cutco
knife.
Wow that does a really great job too I mean
that's a good job there.
All of them are doing a great job on this
tomato.
I don't really think there's a clear winner
between any of them they all did a great job
on the tomato.
So if I had to give an edge to one of these
knives overall the chef's Club probably edges
them out just by a little bit I do love how
it looks I love how it feels in my hand will
I continue to use all three of these knives
yes.
You can't go wrong with any of these nights
the chef's Club knife the Shun knife or the
Cutco knife you'll be happy with any one of
those well there we have it a little review
on the chef's Club knife and a little mini
showdown between three of my knives here in
my kitchen.
Bottom line can't go wrong with any one of
these knives if you want a really cool-looking
knife it's really really sharp fits well in
your hand take a look at the chef's Club I'm
not this is not a sponsored video I'm not
being paid to say any of this.
