That appears to be a Victorinix alox knife you used to open the package. As beautiful as many of your knives are, I can't let a day go by without my Pioneer Alox. Classy, slim, cuts anything, stays sharp, affordable. Marriage made in heaven.
I was just thinking how I hadn't seen a video of yours in awhile. As always, it was a joy to watch, from the incredible effort you put into shooting and editing, to the bundle of information nerds like me love. Please continue doing the awesome job you're doing. It's clear to see your passion and love for blades of all kinds, that's what I find most contagious and why I keep coming back. :)
Stschmalhaus i love watching your videos because there so in depth, is like watching the Discovery channel ;-) And the knifes you review are so beautiful and rich in history.
A very nice knife, beautiful simplicity of design. Thanks for showing it, I also loved the introduction with the pictures of the area it originates from. So very different to my part of the world.
Good thing I had dinner while watching the video, usually I am getting hungry when you show the food prep scences. As always a more than adequate presentation of the knife, keep'em coming :)
Glad to have you producing videos again my friend. You might remember my objections to the design aestetics of some of your previous French knives. While this is my very personal meshigass I think this blade ticks all the boxes for "right on the spot". Like you said, no nail nick, hole, stud, no laser etching. A simple stamp'll do, thank you very much. I also find the blade shape extremly easy on the eye.
As usual, smashing job, Stefan. I'm starting to think the commercials we see here in the US for Dos Equis Beer regarding "the most interesting man in the world" is actually based on your life. :)
We don't have these commercials over here so I had to look them up on RU-vid. This Mexican brand is not very big in Germany. The commercials are actually very well made. I like the line: "He speaks French - in Russian." ;-) Thanks for your compliment, my friend!
Eine Bulette kann aber auch ein Alu Messer schneiden. 😁, I mean I hope they do Trotzdem, oder gerade deshalb, danke für dieses Video. Ich liebe Kleine Familienbetriebe auch und schnörkellose aber gut gemachte Messer und vor allem deinen Kanal.
En el video se ve una factura del mes de mayo de 1929 y pone PALLERES, sin embargo las navajas actuales vienen marcadas como PALLARÉS. Han cambiado el apellido o es un error?
Moin Stefan, frisches Video....und tolle Präsentation eines feinen Schneidwerkzeugs! Mit Horngriffschalen bin ich nie warm geworden....da liegt mir...im wahrsten Sinne...Holz deutlich mehr! Danke wieder mal für dieses vorzügliche Video...mir gefiel die Musik wieder sehr gut...und auch die Hintergrundinfo über den Spanischen Hersteller...sehr gut! LG Stephan Der Klingenschliff
Agreed. You can't expect that knife to be as good as an exposito or luis vergara of the same pattern, the correct term for that would be inexpensive, certainly the production values for joker, caleya, or albainox are much lower, but they are usually fully usable, and just as novel.
Please, don't consider Albainox as a Spanish brand because all of its kinves are made in China, it's a same for us, Spaniards. It's is as "national" as RUI brand.
you "forgot"a handle material. 1 piece molded plastic. (no liners). That is the handle material on the two I have: A (111mm) with a "leaf" blade like yours, and a 120mm with a (slight) clip point blade. Question: Do they use the same grade blade steel (either carbon steel or stainless steel) on all the knives regardless of price point? My two have caron steel blades. I'm wondering if they were installed in a plastic handle "by the luck of the draw" or if they have a different blades specifically for the lower cost plastic handle knives.
Another great review, thanks. As Andaluz from Sevilla y congratulate you on your choice of music, a Soleares. One question please... I have noticed that many knives from Spain have too much play. How about the Busa? Thanks again. jmh
Danke! - Übrigens konntest Du kurz mein Joker-Navaja sehen, das eigentlich nur in der Schublade herumliegt. Vielleicht sollte ich Deinem Beispiel folgen und es zumindest mal in der Küche einsetzen.
Well I'm catalan, and the music of your video isn't catalan, please use this kind of music when you speak about Andalucia in the south ot Spain. Best regards ...
