I went through the boxes that have just
arrived and did a really rough
calculation and there are over $10,000
of knives in these boxes that I have to
give away no I don't have to give them
away but I am giving them away so yeah
it's happening so as you guys know in
the last week or last week's video I
posted some of the knives I was giving
away and so I've been reaching out to a
bunch of you guys on YouTube in the
comments section below and if you guys
don't know what I'm talking about just
go to last week's video you'll see and
so I've reached out to about a dozen of
you guys so congratulations everyone who
I picked for that giveaway you guys are
all getting those knives so this week
I'm gonna give another dozen knives away
and I'm just doing this because it's fun
okay I love doing what I'm doing I'm
also doing it because there's so much
you know negativity going around in the
world right now there's so much struggle
a lot of pain going on right now and I'm
just trying to put some smile on some
people's faces and that's really all I'm
doing so hopefully over the next few
weeks as I'm sewing these knives out I'm
gonna give away roughly a dozen knives a
week or designate any other week as time
permits so this is kind of happening at
the at the same time that I'm moving and
kind of clearing house to move into a
studio space so this box were here is
for my friends over a cutlery amour it's
a box of used and damaged knives you
know a lot of you guys actually want to
repair your knives so this is your
chance for that these knives will be
here I'm from my friends over at Nobu
and I'll show you guys some of the stuff
that they're developing and I'm one of
the very first people to get their
knives to test them so I'm excited for
that alright so let's start with the
used and damaged knives here I think
this is this is always fun to do because
this is a shoe
so this is a pretty pricey knife let's
see what damage oh man
beautiful little knife with a damage
first top quarter of the knife is pretty
ripped up I don't like seeing damaged
knives like this it's terrible
oh one of my favorite little knives the
ends will prep knife that is a shame
that's terrible that's a broken and bent
tip and there's chips all on the cutting
edge I don't like to see knives like
this ooh it's a yak cell it's a yak cell
sushi bar utility or slicer and about
1/4 inch tip missing oh the knife
actually looks almost brand-new just
with a broken tip now that is a shame
yeah that's eight inches chef's knife
it's a nexus it's just a little dirty
somebody returned it buyer's remorse
all right let's see what we got here
it's a meat cleaver and this is a brand
new knife it's missing the original box
so I'm guessing that customer bought it
kept it in his or her knife drawer and
just never used it toss the box away and
decided that they wanted their money
back so someone's getting a brand-new
cleaver let's see oh this chuffing glass
Whetstone's I would be shocked if these
are brand-new look at this it's been
used at the most once this is a 3,000
mesh 4 micron 3000 grit whetstone this
thing is like a 70 $80 whetstone right
here
too bad I don't need it if I needed I'd
keep it but I think I'm gonna give it
away to one of you guys all right so
this one here is a ten thousand grit
whetstone been used once this thing is
oh this is why I get frustrated with
these unboxings because I see you know
perfectly good new products get returned
and I understand
I mean circumstances change you know
things things happen but I'm gonna stop
there this is a Mac oh this is the Mac
Pro one of their higher-end recognized
this is the 200 millimeter it's got a
few scratches from just washing with a
hard sponge but the edge is yeah the
edge is nice and clean
okay what else we have here Oh check
this out an electric sharpener from Kai
most of knives used all dirty okay so
this is a knife kit and I've set from
Nexus me no sharp whetstone so this is a
six thousand grit whetstone with its own
base I'm guessing this is pretty much
brand new as well so we got some six
piece steak knives
who needs Stig knives and chefs choice
and diamond home hand sharpener these a
pull-through hand sharpness this Enzo
knife bag who needs a knife bag these
are like I don't know these are like 150
$200 pretty nice cleaver slicer prep
knife brisket knife to a pinch brisket
knife Oh shoe santoku yeah so this has
been used a few times this person hacked
into a few bones this is really just
from an uneducated buyer who doesn't
know that
you can't cut into bone with a Japanese
knife and this is what happens you know
this is like 120 dollar santoku right
here just wasted well I wouldn't say
wasted because I will do something with
it I will either repair it or one of you
guys will repair it and have a brand new
knife chef my paring knife a chef's
knife a chef's knife knock your chef
knife
oh this KY whetstone a KY shoe and
whetstone brand-new ah brand new
whetstone right here um okay so we got
here I mean I'm looking at this just
like I'm just looking kind of estimating
org estimating how much everything costs
we're probably looking at about $2,000
of knives just in this one box alone to
move this aside these knives I'm really
excited about I only opened a couple of
them last week and when I show you guys
what they were but we're gonna open a
few more today and show you guys what's
in the mail for some of you guys
hopefully a dozen of you guys this week
and yeah so let's just start here look
at that beautiful handle oh that is
beautiful that is
Kraemer esque blade with a octagonal
handle stabilized wood yeah it's very
similar to a Kramer in terms of actual
differences let's see here the spine
profile of this knife here is a bit
flatter than the actual framer the blade
height is not it's about maybe 1 2
millimeters shorter than the Kramer but
I like the octagonal handle a lot of
this on this knife here yeah it feels
really nice in the hands you know some
people have complained I wish a lot of
people complain that the Kramer's handle
is a bit too girthy this feels really
nice in the hands I like this one a lot
that look at this ker it's gay with that
beautiful that is really nice this is a
carbon fiber handle with a carbon fiber
ferrule and the end cap
now the chriskate with a stabilized
handle Oh
oh my goodness
[Laughter]
tell me you cannot use this in your
kitchen that is that's pretty bad it's
got a copper ring an octagonal handle
yeah that is pretty cool
somebody is gonna be really happy with
this knife right here Oh somebody's
gonna like this knife a lot it would
look really good on this wall too by the
way but no it'll look even better in
your home somebody's home okay so this
is the blue oh this is a new one it's a
cute oh yeah the mess is clouded it's
got this blue greenish stabilized handle
yeah very cool looking oh yes
can you see that no probably it's too
dark ah look at this beautiful beautiful
hand over here it's got this honeycomb
texture to it with a resin handle and a
carbon fiber ferrule carbon fiber end
cap it is really pretty really pretty
then we got the one that you guys have
already seen the Kramer esque candle
yeah with the yes they call this a
feathered Damascus it's got a really
nice pattern to it oh you guys can see
that or not but it's nice oh yeah check
this out this is an ebony octagonal
handle got a nice cool look to it and
even the spine you can see the hammering
all the way up to the spine which is
something you don't see very often you
don't know how that will actually affect
performance but it feels fine in the
hands I don't think that actually bother
you if you had your finger on top of the
spine there they actually still did
finish the spine but you can still
feel the ripple which is interesting
it's a very interesting take on knife
design so I misquoted last week last

more research these knives more like in
