Hey I just got a opinel no 7 and was wondering what would be your advice on putting a patina on it. What I'm most worried about is getting too much acid on the wood and taking the lacquer off which would leave the wood unprotected, any suggestions?
Hey C.L. In Missouri there is allways a guy demonstrating knives at the State Fair. He will slice a tomato ultra thin,then actually fillet the skin off. Then he proceeds to cut an aluminum can ,Saw the knife across a claw hammer,cut a pack of frozen veggies and then return to slice the tomato again. When this demo is over look out because every housewife in the free world will advance forward armed with cash and credit cards. Ever seen something like that ? Great video
You said in your video that patina wouldn't rub off during food prep.
I have something to add to that: the patina actually prevents acidic food from rubbing off a bit of steel.
When I first got a carbon steel knife, I was unpleasantly surprized by the taste of metal and smears of dark grey the blade left on my apple (I'm exaggerating a bit).
After a week or so of intensive food prep it had acquired a nice patina and the metallic taste was no more!
One of the oldest tools, most simple; yet most affective and useful, even in todays terms. I doubt that anything will soon take a knife's place. But then again, we have robots performing heart surgery, so who knows.
I love the look of that Bark Rive Canadian special. I am seriously thinking of getting one soon. I cant find any reviews on it at all so i would love to see one if possible.
well the problem is most kitchen cuttign tasks involves liquid so most prefer stainless steel blades...too much hassle, most people dont even spend much on kitchen cutlery to begin with, and on avearge if you go to a persons house their main kitchen knife will be dull...
generally carbon steel is more flexible so it doesnt chip easily, its also easier to sharpen, generally speaking and also holds an edge a bit better, but its also prone to rust ALOT more, carbon steel has been used to make blades for hundreds of years stainless steel was only invented somewhat recently...the biggest pro to stainless is its great ability to not rust easily, hense the name "stainless"
Lol, on the dull knives thing, I was amazed when I tested my mothers main kitchen knife and it could cut newspaper. I can't remmember if it could push cut it or not, but it was quite sharp. Anyway, I am going to buy her some really awesome kitchen knives next time I need to get a gift for her.....partly because I can't buy knives anymore, but my parents never said anything about buying knives for other people. But she will like the improved performance, they aren't just for me.
I have to get me one of those knives, I just watched your patina video and I'm quite impressed how that knife looks.Can you tell me where to find that particullar knife. Thanks
lol, I eat alot of crap, but I still like fresh fruit...I like alot of different fruit but its expesnive so I get whats on sale, luckily the tangerines came right from florida, it was a Xmas present for my mom, she got like 30 of them, lol...
yo jeff how do you cut such thin slices with such a thick blade? i find it hard to cut slices that thin with a thicker knife like that... and can you make a video of how to make hashbrowns? lol i wanna make some
jsut takes a sharp knife, a thin knife is more ideal for a kitchen blade, but as you cna see a thicker blade thats sharp works fine...its also the conves gridn on the edge...works great!
for this rustioc batch, yeah, lol, but normally I woudl skin them 1st and add dizxed onions and peppers, but I didnt have any at the time of the vid...
yes you woudl just need to clean the blade very well afterwards, it still may have marked the blade...when usign stainles steels there is no worry for what you cut though, one of the benafits...
not normally, I normally use a Cold Steel K4 kitchen knives...VERY thin and wicked sharp...this blade is a bit wide for kitchen use, but woudl be just fine for camp food prep...since its a multi purpose knife...
Thanks for reviewing a barkie. Those knives are the very best that I own and I own quite a few knives. Once you buy a barkie, you can't stop at just one lol (hint*). Anyhoo, thanks for doing a great review again as always and your videos rock as always. Cheers!!
the potatoes for the has browns wnt right into the frying pan after I cut them up....Ideally I woudl ahve liekd to add soem diced peppers and onions, but I didnt have any at the tiem so it was basically just cooked diced potatoes with seasoning and butter...I had 2 eggs over easy with the potatoes and picked at the fruit...
Now if my mother could keep her French knife that sharp, I'd be over cooking for her all the time! Perhaps I'll get my mom that book for her birthday, and the borrow it extensively until all her knives are pretty again... :P
Sometimes if I leave a knife on the counter for a few hours or overnight after cutting something acidic, then I use it again to cut something, it will leave a slight black mark on whatever I'm cutting. Mostly a bad habit on my part, though, shouldn't be an issue if you keep the blade clean.
Well when I have work (Im not a mornign person) I usually have bowl of cereal or soem buttered toast, ntoghign special at all, for this vid I happened to be off so I had soem fruit, 2 eggs over easy, and the hash browns, although I shoudl rally call them homefries, anyway on the weekend I have the big breakfast, like french toast, bacon, and scrambled eggs...but it always changes I also like bagels, but I dont have them as much as I use to...dont know why, lol...
the summer sausage is precooked, like if you bougth a stick iof salami or pepporoni, I just cut it up and ate it...Although if you heat any meat it brigns out the flavor even more and melts seom of the fats, it may look more greasy and unhealthy, but its actually a bit better since some of the fats are left behind durign the cooking process...same with the cheese, if you melted the cheese the flavor would be more intense but some of the oils would be left behind so its literally healthier...
well I call them hash browns but its more like homefries...its diced potatoes, peppers and onions (didnt have any this tiem) and a little butter sauteed in a frying pan with your seasoning, I usually just do salt, pepper, and a dash of paprika...hash browns woudl be if you used a grater to grate the potatoes so its a different texture...some even form them into cakes like potatoes pancakes...
I dunno, I'd probably watch them. You make your videos very interesting, even on subject matter I might not otherwise care about. That's why I'm still subscribed to you. o.O
