To all the mature cooks/ chefs do not fuck with this kind of knives,i have worked as a chef for 8 years,and i've always been around this kind of knives,trust me it will cut your finger off.

@GuyMonaghan maybe so in the kitchen he doesn't have to keep switching knives fore his prep work? I'm just guessing.
-
@ImReadyD151 Ultra sharp knives are the answer!

he says to go against the grain but doesn't he cut with it in the demo?
-
He is using a Misono UX10 sujihiki (slicing knife). The weird thing about it is that the Misono ux10 is not usually all that thin or flexible - Hung must have had it thinned out just for him. There are other Japanese knives that come quite thin if you want to look into them - I'm thinking gyutos or sujihikis from Tadatsuna, Suisin inox honyaki, Konosuke, or Sakai Yusuke.
-
What was the first knife he was using? Misono (sp?) It was flexible and probably very light. Very interesting.
-
What advantage is there to using a slicer for his chopping rather than a gyuoto/chef's knife, since Misono make one in the exact same length?
Hung is the man, I wish I had his cordination!
