For all people who cheer for the old knife. Good kitchen knives are most likely out of a steel with 56-58 hrc(europe) or 60-62 hrc (japanese knives) the ceramic one has probably around 65hrc. Higher means harder. The thing is, the harder the cutting edge, the thinner it is shapened in order to be able to make use of it's advantages (sharper because it is still stable even with a very thin cutting edge). A harder steel stays longer sharp when used carefully but is also much more likely to break. Like the ceramic knife. So for this test harder steel is more likely to break and a disadvantage. Also its likely that the cutting edge of the old knife is much thicker and the angle of the cutting edge it larger. This makes it more robust and so it has another advantage here. So the old knife wins the test but it is not as sharp and therefore less suitable for the kitchen.

It is also MUCH harder to sharpen harder knives. 62-63 hrc knives are almost impossible you sharpen without special machines. So i'd prefer 56-57 hrc knife. It is sharp, it can hold harpness for quite a lot time and i can sharpen in with any rock if needed.

Rockwell hardness. At least in europe quite good kitchen knifes with 30€ and above pricepoint normally have it in their product description. In other countrys there are for sure other measurement standards for hardness. But if you know whats common in your country i am pretty sure you will find some conversion table if you search for it :) i dont know of any knife where the information of the hardness is printed on the knife. So its at least no common practice. As a thump rule, cheap knifes are normally not transparent about their hardness or maybe even not consistent so its pointless to find it out there. For good manufactures you should find the information on their product description. So for most home cooks 56 hrc is the better choice since they are cheaper and need much less care, except you want razor sharp knifes and are willing to spend some money and time.

I think 20 years ago it may have been the case that Knives at 62-63 HRC would be difficult to sharpen on because were mostly Aluminum Oxide sharpening stones or softer used back then if you only use normal water stones you may have problems. However with the widespread use of inexpensive diamond abrasives (Like DMT stones or plates, more recently sharpening sets from Worksharp) they don’t give much trouble. In some ways it’s easier to sharpen high hardness steel because the steel deburrs easier. I carry a pocket knife hardened to 65HRC with vanadium enriched tool steel and it doesn’t give me any trouble on a $30 pocket sharpener. I only really have trouble sharpening really cheap soft stainless because the burr is gummy and won’t detach, or the apex crumbles every time I try to apex it.

One small factor in the old vs new knives, beyond the particular profile of the blade, is that we have 'improved' our materials production to the point where we can specify a material for a particular job within small tolerances. Obviously no kitchen knife should ever be used to cut another kitchen knife so there is no good reason to produce a blade that can do this well. Older knives will not have quite as precise material specifications and so the tolerances will have been larger to allow for material differences and to ensure no premature failure. In other words, 'quality' may not mean that the product is capable of much more than it was designed for, rather that it is made with efficient use of materials and manufacturing processes while still being fit for purpose.

Not the best comparison fince the Swiss and Japanese knives are full flat brings and the cheap and old only have a small bevel and are mostly full thickness stock. You can see in the Japanese vs Old that the oldis cut right to the point of it's bevel and once it's at full thickness it becomes thicker than the Japanese knife and is much harder to cut now. Still a great video that shows that things used to be made better before and you get what you pay for. A cheap $2 knife is much softer than a $110 Japanese one and will get duller much faster.

OLD European/American style knives are made to occasionally hit a bone, so versatility IS KING. Super slim knives like the Japanese make are made for processing soft, vegetables and boneless fish. They Are incredibly sharp but also very delicate and will chip when hitting hard bone. So both STYLE KNIVES are perfect for what they need to do, but one is not inherently better than the other.
@lll94167 ай бұрын
This is essentially a hardness test. The cheaper knives tend to use a high carbon steel and focus on edge retention. Ie holding the factory ground edge for as long as possible. The more premium knives will be sharper- they use a lower carbon steel but can have a better edge profile. They are razor sharp but won’t hold the edge long- which isn’t important to the professional- as they will check their knives daily/weekly/monthly depending upon use. The average person won’t be stropping or sharpening their knives in quite the same fashion and will not be impressed at having to do so- hence the ‘blunter’ edge, but harder material.

It is a stupid test. Cutting needs thinness, otherwise you could use a brick to cut your bread. But thin structures are weaker than thick ones. The sharpness of a knife comes from the most thinest parts of the blade. It is easy to break thin things, which is why you have to sharpen your knife. Then cutting does not come from pressing the knife. This is a complete wrong way of using it. So it does not need to stand a pressure of 500kg. On the wrong surface - some use glass cutting boards instead of those made of wood - you easily lose the sharpness of the knife since glas is a very hard material and the sharpest part of the knife is at the same time its weakest part. It is also no surprise that the ceramic knife is breaking under pressure. Ceramic is used, because it is extremely hard but not because it is very flexible. So it breaks easily. On the other side due to its hardness it stays much longer sharp.

The price of a blade is not the ease of cutting, but the hardness of the blade. Cheap blades can be sharpened quickly, but the blades are soft, so they will soon lose their sharpness after use. However, expensive blades are hard, so it is difficult to sharpen them, but once the blade is firmly attached, it will not lose its sharpness even after many years of use.

The steel of knives is mainly made of iron and carbon(also chromium for stainless)...carbon improves hardness of steel to make the blade sharper but less strength and easier to chip... The blade with more carbon most likely more expensive (1-1.5% carbon in Japanese blade or 0.5-0.6% in German blade)... that's why the old knife seems to have more durability than the expensive knives bcos it might have less carbon and also the thickness of the edge... to me i prefer sharp knives over the unbreakable dull knives...

@@Ecojuice if you're talking about the pattern, that's because it's layered damascus, and etched in acid. Doesn't have a very high layer count, but it's still very clear, and the more layers, the harder it is for it to chip. That didn't help the blade under the hydraulic press, however.
There is a difference between steel hardness, toughness and edge retention. A ceramic blade is very hard and offers great edge retention but is not tough at all. That's why it breaks. For slicing through food (not bones) it is excellent. But in this test it must fail. Similar thing with the Japanese damascus steel. The hard steel at the edge offers great edge retention but the softer steel in this compound grants more toughness, but is cut by the monosteel of the old knife. Next parts to consider would be ease of sharpening and rust resistance.

Good quality ceramic knives can be very sharp but are fragile. I wish you had given more information on the old knive besides just old. Knives have always varied in quality, if the old knife was high quality steel made in Solingen Germany your results would have been much different. It looked like a cheaply made old knife. Like somebody else mentioned the supposedly Japanese knife was probably actually Chinese- real high quality Japanese knives are very expensive and hard to come by. Although in reality a high quality homogenous steel knife is actually stronger and has no laminations to fracture.

There is no knife maker called TUOTOWN in Japan. It says Damascus, but this is a Damascus print. Damascus print is often used on Chinese knives. Knives that say made in Japan are probably made in China.
The way the handle is made is also different from that of Japan.
Yeah, its printed, the core if from high carbon steel would'nt be like that
The word "ZHUANGYUN" printed on the blade does not exist in Japanese, and "KITCHEN" is misspelled. It is not a high-quality knife made in Japan. According to my research,Tuo brand is Located in Yangjiang, China.

For all people who cheer for the old knife. Good kitchen knives are most likely out of a steel with 56-58 hrc(europe) or 60-62 hrc (japanese knives) the ceramic one has probably around 65hrc. Higher means harder. The thing is, the harder the cutting edge, the thinner it is shapened in order to be able to make use of it's advantages (sharper because it is still stable even with a very thin cutting edge). A harder steel stays longer sharp when used carefully but is also much more likely to break. Like the ceramic knife. So for this test harder steel is more likely to break and a disadvantage. Also its likely that the cutting edge of the old knife is much thicker and the angle of the cutting edge it larger. This makes it more robust and so it has another advantage here. So the old knife wins the test but it is not as sharp and therefore less suitable for the kitchen.
It is also MUCH harder to sharpen harder knives. 62-63 hrc knives are almost impossible you sharpen without special machines. So i'd prefer 56-57 hrc knife. It is sharp, it can hold harpness for quite a lot time and i can sharpen in with any rock if needed.
Comments like this trigger my curiosity. Could you tell me what hrc stands for? And how can I find out what steel my knives are made of? Is it printed on the blade?
Rockwell hardness. At least in europe quite good kitchen knifes with 30€ and above pricepoint normally have it in their product description. In other countrys there are for sure other measurement standards for hardness. But if you know whats common in your country i am pretty sure you will find some conversion table if you search for it :) i dont know of any knife where the information of the hardness is printed on the knife. So its at least no common practice. As a thump rule, cheap knifes are normally not transparent about their hardness or maybe even not consistent so its pointless to find it out there. For good manufactures you should find the information on their product description. So for most home cooks 56 hrc is the better choice since they are cheaper and need much less care, except you want razor sharp knifes and are willing to spend some money and time.
@@onik7000 I gotta disagree with you, making the edge is difficult yes, but sharpening (exspecially a carbon steel like aogami super [65hrc]) is still doable, not even that timeconsuming in the carbon steel case.
I think 20 years ago it may have been the case that Knives at 62-63 HRC would be difficult to sharpen on because were mostly Aluminum Oxide sharpening stones or softer used back then if you only use normal water stones you may have problems. However with the widespread use of inexpensive diamond abrasives (Like DMT stones or plates, more recently sharpening sets from Worksharp) they don’t give much trouble. In some ways it’s easier to sharpen high hardness steel because the steel deburrs easier. I carry a pocket knife hardened to 65HRC with vanadium enriched tool steel and it doesn’t give me any trouble on a $30 pocket sharpener. I only really have trouble sharpening really cheap soft stainless because the burr is gummy and won’t detach, or the apex crumbles every time I try to apex it.

One small factor in the old vs new knives, beyond the particular profile of the blade, is that we have 'improved' our materials production to the point where we can specify a material for a particular job within small tolerances. Obviously no kitchen knife should ever be used to cut another kitchen knife so there is no good reason to produce a blade that can do this well. Older knives will not have quite as precise material specifications and so the tolerances will have been larger to allow for material differences and to ensure no premature failure. In other words, 'quality' may not mean that the product is capable of much more than it was designed for, rather that it is made with efficient use of materials and manufacturing processes while still being fit for purpose.
I.e. ensure returning customers 😂
Раньше ножи были более универсальные

If the goal of anyone is to have such a tool in the kitchen that may cut any knives, the best to use an angle grinder. It needs some practicing to spread butter on the slice of bread by...but it worth all the time and effort for sure.
Not the best comparison fince the Swiss and Japanese knives are full flat brings and the cheap and old only have a small bevel and are mostly full thickness stock. You can see in the Japanese vs Old that the oldis cut right to the point of it's bevel and once it's at full thickness it becomes thicker than the Japanese knife and is much harder to cut now. Still a great video that shows that things used to be made better before and you get what you pay for. A cheap $2 knife is much softer than a $110 Japanese one and will get duller much faster.
Some things at play here: Get a utility knife if you want to cut paper! The old knife was the only un-honed or sharpened edge so it was more close to axe vs. katana as opposed to saucy knife-on-knife action

That was what I was expecting. The old knife is far less brittle than modern kitchen knives, but it also requires sharpening more often. The old knife behaves more like an old sword, like a sabre or similar.
Nope, it's all depend of what sort of steel knife are made, modern or not.
Old swords were most definitely not made of soft steel. That's a meme, as meme as that Japanese blades are automatically better.
Со временем сталь становится мягче
@@user-ul7rl9hu3n No it doesn't. Aluminium does. Steel doesn't. It can become softer for someone tampering with the heat treating, but it most definitely does NOT become softer; oftentimes, it becomes even stronger due to work hardening (which may or may not be a good thing).
Actually, medieval Japanese steel was extremely bad since they lacked knowledge in metallurgy compared to China or Europe. That's why they folded it so many times "Come on, iron... do something." I think the advantage of the old knife was the dull blade, which means the initial point of contact was wider and therefore tougher.
Speaking as a butcher who uses victorinox almost exclusively, those are some of the best knives you'll ever use. Just keep 'em sharp and honed (two different things. Sharpening is sharpening, honing is straightening the blade)

I use the zen just above the shun. The price is not accurate to show how deeply it can cut into a fake cheap knife actually made from high carbon steel if you couldn't tell.

A test for amateurs. It is necessary to compare not only the butt of the knife, but also the thickness of the cutting edge, the thickness of the blade, and so you can compare an axe with a shovel. And a good Japanese knife from Damasteel costs more than 110 bucks. 😅
Gostei muito do vídeo!!!
A good knife is rated by its hardness rating relative to how brittle it is. How long it can keep a straight edge and ease of sharpening. And that’s just the start of it.
a good knife must bear a pressure up to 50000000000kg/cm³
Not necessarily true. I have learned, recently, that people who butcher meat, for a living, don't want the hardest blades. They need to sharpen their lives quickly and get back to work. That came from someone who cuts meat all day long.
@@jameslovrek8634please re read what I wrote. Hardness rating relative to how brittle it is AND ease of sharpening. A good knife will have a good compromise in these 3 metrics. But it’s hard to make a one size fits all blade. A Japanese chef will need a different material than a French chef.
Spectacular use of time and money! Subscribed.
Much like the comments are pointing out knives are made for specific situation. But THE OLD knife does make a good point, the fact that todays knives are supposed to be like magical in their cutting edge when it's just the fact that they're slim Asian Style, designs, thanks to the economy of scales and modern metallurgy. OLD European/American style knives are made to occasionally hit a bone, so versatility IS KING. Super slim knives like the Japanese make are made for processing soft, vegetables and boneless fish. They Are incredibly sharp but also very delicate and will chip when hitting hard bone. So both STYLE KNIVES are perfect for what they need to do, but one is not inherently better than the other.
This is essentially a hardness test. The cheaper knives tend to use a high carbon steel and focus on edge retention. Ie holding the factory ground edge for as long as possible. The more premium knives will be sharper- they use a lower carbon steel but can have a better edge profile. They are razor sharp but won’t hold the edge long- which isn’t important to the professional- as they will check their knives daily/weekly/monthly depending upon use. The average person won’t be stropping or sharpening their knives in quite the same fashion and will not be impressed at having to do so- hence the ‘blunter’ edge, but harder material.
That 2 dollar knife is quite formidable against more expensive knives
It's just the blade is thicker and the edge angle is pretty obtuse.
Enough for some carots and meat. 😎
So.. what did we learn from this test? "Do not cut other knives woth a knife."
That new blade making will never be as good as the old way. Cause the new way is being done on a cheap as possible matter with the least amount of materials.
Predicted the outcome perfectly lol
Interesting video, but it's much like the battle between materials. The higher the carbon in the steel the harder, while keep the tenacity from cracking like the ceramic will perform well in this test, but not necessary the best to do the job. As for the sharpness test. Any knife can be sharpened razor sharp, but stay for how long.
In Germany, some knives are made out of the cannon tubes from old Leopard 1 tanks. That knives cost 400$ and can cut almost everything. Lets try one of those knives.
We call this "magic". When you need to sell something to someone who doesnt know the subject you add magic. "it's from old cannon steel" or "it's from jet turbune wings steel". Steel has marks. Marks has properties. No magic. Leopard tank knives can cut no better than any other knives made from same steel.

completely feel you, I cant help myself being extra gentle around ceramics as if the wind would break them, I can see here I definitely was too gentle
Except that’s not a Japanese knife.
Interesting experiment. I could tell the old knife was a good one straight away because of the way the handle was fitted and an old knife only survives if its a good one. It didn't cut well because it needed to be sharpened really carefully on a good wet stone and then honed. I bet it would hold an edge well.
It is a stupid test. Cutting needs thinness, otherwise you could use a brick to cut your bread. But thin structures are weaker than thick ones. The sharpness of a knife comes from the most thinest parts of the blade. It is easy to break thin things, which is why you have to sharpen your knife. Then cutting does not come from pressing the knife. This is a complete wrong way of using it. So it does not need to stand a pressure of 500kg. On the wrong surface - some use glass cutting boards instead of those made of wood - you easily lose the sharpness of the knife since glas is a very hard material and the sharpest part of the knife is at the same time its weakest part. It is also no surprise that the ceramic knife is breaking under pressure. Ceramic is used, because it is extremely hard but not because it is very flexible. So it breaks easily. On the other side due to its hardness it stays much longer sharp.
Old but gold!
Now that's a knife 🔪 fight
The price of a blade is not the ease of cutting, but the hardness of the blade. Cheap blades can be sharpened quickly, but the blades are soft, so they will soon lose their sharpness after use. However, expensive blades are hard, so it is difficult to sharpen them, but once the blade is firmly attached, it will not lose its sharpness even after many years of use.
That was cool. Now we want to see a katana vs a longsword.

Old knife (if you have a spare one as well) should be sharpened and it will retain this sharpness. At least so it seems.High quality.
The Japanese knife cracks instead of bending under pressure because it is hard but brittler. A harder steel knife is not always better.
I don't understand how to compare incomparable things. It's the same as comparing the color with a square. Knives should take a sharp edge as long as possible, can be easily to sharp, and should be not too heavy and comfortable for use. In this case you just compare the material of the knife blade on the point of dissection under the pressure. What information do we take as useful? No any. But some people just take the wrong info that the good Japanese or Switzerland knife is the same as cheap fakes. Nice. Thank you.

I have received more expensive knifes as presents during the years but I never use them cause I find them annoying compared to my trusty old bread knife. Someone even gave me some knife sharpening equipment/tool which I never use either. Total lifetime cost of sharp kitchen knives $0 and total time spent in my life bothering about knives 0 hours. If I want to cut paper I typically use scissors or a cheap razor blade from a hardware store if I'd like a long straight cut... And I never found a rational reason to cut a knife with another knife...

@@ytwos1 if a $70 knife performs the same as a $2 knife and can stand the same amount of abuse, clearly the $68 difference is only because of the brand, you would think the price or brand or country where it's made makes a difference but it doesn't. Why would you spend $70 while a $2 knife performs the same. Yeah paper cutting doesn't mean anything in the kitchen world. It would be understandable if you were a barber and you were sharpening a razor. In the kitchen and in any other circumstances you would use a pair of scissors to cut paper. It's all about the maintenance and treatment you give to your tools. Softer metals will get sharp easier and will also get dull easier, harder metals are harder to sharpen and the edge takes more time to get dull and that's about it. You can break an $200 knife just as easy as you can break an $2 one.
@@alexis2k233this isn’t testing the performance of a knife. I.e. Sharpness, maintained sharpness after use, comfort/ease of use, how well/easily they can be resharpened. All this video proves is how hard the steel of each knife is. Great performing knives are not made of hard steel. Hard steel will chip before maintaining a sharp edge, and it’s difficult to sharpen.
The steel of knives is mainly made of iron and carbon(also chromium for stainless)...carbon improves hardness of steel to make the blade sharper but less strength and easier to chip... The blade with more carbon most likely more expensive (1-1.5% carbon in Japanese blade or 0.5-0.6% in German blade)... that's why the old knife seems to have more durability than the expensive knives bcos it might have less carbon and also the thickness of the edge... to me i prefer sharp knives over the unbreakable dull knives...
That's y old is gold 🤗
poor old knife

i have 200€$ knife from japan and its kind of made usefull. its sharp so much as you may need and its easy to sharpen it too. i like it. its made good
You have to measure thickness behind the edge. That is real comparison
Somewhere in Japan the guy who made that knife is sobbing and weeping while watching this.
1:10 Not made in Japan. That knife is made in China. TUO TOWN seems to be a Russian brand.
That japanese knife looks fake,
🤣 I think yes
What makes it look fake?
It’s fake 1000%. 100$ Japanese knife? Good Japanese knife should have over 60 hrc.
@@drantigon Just how it was packaged or its overall appearance. It looks like a Japanese knife from China.
@@Ecojuice if you're talking about the pattern, that's because it's layered damascus, and etched in acid. Doesn't have a very high layer count, but it's still very clear, and the more layers, the harder it is for it to chip. That didn't help the blade under the hydraulic press, however.
要切肉啊，不然不是纯粹是钢的硬度和韧性的比拼了，陶瓷的肯定最硬最脆，大马士革纹的多次锻打不如一体的也不太行。
There is a difference between steel hardness, toughness and edge retention. A ceramic blade is very hard and offers great edge retention but is not tough at all. That's why it breaks. For slicing through food (not bones) it is excellent. But in this test it must fail. Similar thing with the Japanese damascus steel. The hard steel at the edge offers great edge retention but the softer steel in this compound grants more toughness, but is cut by the monosteel of the old knife. Next parts to consider would be ease of sharpening and rust resistance.
Um, Japanese don't use Damascus steel.
@@fransthefox9682 Sure they do. They fold steel which is a similar type.
@@cintage Steel folding is not Damascus. Damascus is a specific type of pattern welding, which involves twisting the steel. Not just folding. Damascus is a technique first used in Damascus, Syria. Hence the name. It was common in the Middle East, India, and rarely done by China. But never Japan.
@@fransthefox9682 True. But "damascus" is NOT a reserved or protected term and is nowadays used for any multi-layered steel compound.
@@cintage Then I can call a panda a lion because it's not a protected term either. People who use "Damascus" for all layered steels are the ones who don't know anything about swords. Because calling all of them "Damascus" is not an opinion. That's being incorrect. What next? Every finger is a thumb?
Wonder if it has anything to do with downward pressure vs stationary resistance
I feel the same way too
As a chef I almost cried. As someone with ADHD, I couldn't be happier lol
Muy buen producto me gusta
the flexibility, keeping the flatness ,and the sharpness also matter, not only the hardness..
Edge retention, toughness and ease of sharpening is important for knife. Test knife made from tool steel .
I use Victorinox knives, they are not crazy expensive, but really good. They may not outlast a hydraulic press, but they kick the shit out of cheap knives when slicing onions.
Очень странное сравнение , где японский нож , с 15 градусами , и старый нож где за 20 Градусов, естественно где 15 градусов , там меньше толщина металла , но и как один момент , возьмите старый японский нож , поверьте , он будет самый крепкий ,у меня есть старый японский нож , примерно 1920 года , это типа наша семейная реликвия , он настолько прочный , что им можно и дрова рубить и гвозди забивать
칼 종류가 다릅니다. 칼의 가격에 재료는 일부분일 뿐입니다. 스위스제 칼은 정육용칼 같습니다. 정육용은 도신이 얇습니다. 칼의 용도에 따라 날의 디자인이 다르고 내구성도 다릅니다.
Thanks for that disclaimer, I almost went right for my home hydraulic press
Thankyou for doing this for us. No longer curious
Old one from which country and it's still available for buying
Good quality ceramic knives can be very sharp but are fragile. I wish you had given more information on the old knive besides just old. Knives have always varied in quality, if the old knife was high quality steel made in Solingen Germany your results would have been much different. It looked like a cheaply made old knife. Like somebody else mentioned the supposedly Japanese knife was probably actually Chinese- real high quality Japanese knives are very expensive and hard to come by. Although in reality a high quality homogenous steel knife is actually stronger and has no laminations to fracture.
You gotta try the Albacete, Spain knives.
Kinda fun to watch, but irrelevant for my knife choices, though. (Except for the brittleness of the ceramic, but I kinda knew that already and steer clear)
So what's the hardness, edge retention, or anything else that matters when cutting vegetables?
چاقو فقط باید تیز باشه تا بتونی گلوی فرد مورد نظر رو در اولین ضربه ببری و زود شریان رو قطع کنی و عصب فرد مورد نظر یا همان مقتول قطع شه وسلام
I need an hydraulic press ASAP
What does this prove? We don't cut knives with knives, we cut food(or wood). The cutting edge angle of the old knife was much larger than all the others.
It proves that people keep watching videos at 2am
That was unfair comparison, since ceramic knives are the most hard surface knives and it is keep its edges for longer time but they are so brittle when it is comes to tensile or impact test comparing with any cheap steel knife
现在的刀硬度更好，但是也更脆！
According to my simple knowledge and what I studied, I want to suppose that the old knife is made of cast iron, that was more used before the invention of hardened stainless steel, so, considering this, the cast iron is naturally more harder then the hardened stainless steel and react better to compression.
Best classification ever. Forget about Rockwell hardness or alloy. Just classify them according to supposed country of origin, price and something called „old“
It may depend on the thickness
I always get goosebumps seeing the cheap knife, one day I was sharpening one and in a moment, with my eyes open and on it, I didn't realize until it was too late that the last pass, instead of running it trough the stone I ran it trough my finger... idiot me lol I had to superglue myself for two whole weeks
