ALTON BROWN FOR PRESIDENT!!!!!!!

[ratholin]

I used to hang with a bunch of chefs and one professional sharpener too. once a year we'd all meet up and feed the hell out of that dude and get our knives sharpened. I love barter as a means of making life awesome.

Hmmm!!. Does anyone know if Alton got paid for this video. Or does he just LuV Shun? I'm guessing he got a check from Shun!

[MythGavin]

I can't believe he licked the cake, lmfao

Almost all steels are forged in the mill, very few are used as-cast. If you want more information do a search on rolling and normalizing which are used by steel manufacturers to homogenize and refine steels and to get them to the proper shape in strips/sheets. This effects a cross section reduction (forging) far more than the minor amount which shapes the final knife.

Sometimes the truth hurts. I'm not going to kiss Alton Brown's ass for misleading people. There is no mystical black art behind sharpening there is no reason to pay someone to do it for you. You can literally sharpen a knife on a BRICK. It doesn't take anything more than educating yourself and stop making excuses. Do a search on here for "Extreme low grit sharpening : clay brick "...literally sharpens on a brick, nothing magical about it aside from putting forth the effort to learn.

Well Catherine, what kind of steel is it at the core of this damascus that's so hard it takes an hour to sharpen? I'm currently carrying a knife with Carpenter Steel's CPM-20CP, which is likely harder and more wear resistant than ANY steel used in damascus kitchen knives. I have no problem sharpening this steel from so dull it won't cut your skin to so sharp it will literally split hair and I can do it in under 5 minutes. You folks just need to stop fearing sharpening and educate yourselves.

Linda, that is a good synopsis, people often criticize what they do not know.

[Nicholas Bernstein]

who the fuck talks like that ? and do you have any Idea what the difference between each knife is no of coarse not your just talking out of your ass .

[Catherine Taylor]

Evil, you have never used a good knife, you are use to garbage German steel that they have convinced you is good, a knife gets dull easily due to the hardness of the steel. A damascus knife is forged, not stamped. It is layered and at it's core lies a steel so hard it takes an hour to sharpen and a month to dull. For a Chef, it will not last for Mom, it will last.

You know not of what you speak young son, please quiet thyself and speak not again of what you know not. So young and yet so dumb.

[Catherine Taylor]

You should remain fast friends with someone that would give you such a gift. It is a gift of friendship, love and COOKING.
