David Holly, owner at Knife Merchant, is an expert on all things knives. Take a seat and enjoy this video where he covers the knives he carries for the true professional, but while you watch, remember that he was a former chef while paying his way through college and has worked in many different cuisines and capacities in the restaurant industry.
We know this video is long, but we needed to provide all the important information from the expert himself. If you'd like to email David, send your inquiery to david@knifemerchant.com

Master Sushi Chef Hiroyuki Terada has been using Kikuichi brand knives for over 20 years, in particular Model WGS21-08-0 which has an 8" blade and has a double sided beveled edge. This is the knife you see in all of our videos. His reason for choosing this knife is for the overall feel in his hand and the perfect balance between handle and blade. He has recently added the Masahiro MH13711 which also has an 8" blade but uses the latest technology that posses a single beveled edge to put the force in the item you're cutting rather than in your fingers. Chef Hiro is excited to add this knife to his collection which is something he hasn't explored in over 20 years. These are the main 2 knives he uses.
As always, we wish to thank all of our fans for spending time here with us on RU-vid. We're all humbled and grateful for all of you and for all the sweet, kind and spirited comments. See you in the next episode...

I was yelling ''FOCUS'' for the close shots of the different blades

@happydeux2254 8 лет назад

+BolFelix Ditto!

@Sodchucker 6 лет назад

Unwatchable. The super out-of-focus close-ups were driving me bananas! I listened to it in the background though: loads of great information!

@nicetimmy 5 лет назад

dont wanna complain cuz this is a really good video but i lost my temper everytime when it get close ...

@seancoyote 5 лет назад

LOL I hear AvE's host in the back of my head say Focus you fuck.

@dandavis2022 4 года назад

The videographer stills does this in 2020. With his little grunts and poor cinematography, it is hard to enjoy watching Hiro at work, or David, for that matter. No offense Hiro, but stop asking a friend to do a job you need a professional doing.

@Quagigitymire 6 лет назад

Seriously, is this guy immortal? It would take 2 lifetimes to learn, memorize, and be able to explain in such detail the information this man knows on his knives from brand, style, finish, construction, application, to manufacturer legacy, location, reputation, distribution, and so on. Truly amazing. Although, often times the genius of their craft types don't make for the most efficient salesmen. Their knowledge and at times passion for the product becomes their curse by causing them to oversell what was sold in the first minute into the discussion. However, it's these type of people that create lifetime customers who value trust, experience, and confidence over fast, easy, and inexpensive shopping. I bet he has customers who will only exclusively work with him and have done so for as long as he has been in business.

@MasterofPlay7 2 года назад

lol their products are overpriced

@lumpyq6385 8 лет назад

Only 37 Minutes, I could have listened to this guy all day. What knowledge he has, I really liked the end when he was talking about the Restaurant Business.

@lumpyq6385 8 лет назад

I was on his Site and he has some great stuff. Looking forward to doing business with him. Yes Sir you have viewer but that's because you have a great Channel. Thanks for sharing.

@MrJoshItIs 4 года назад

Very interesting and also closer to my heart (not the chef but the programmer side).

@SamyKalem 6 лет назад

That's a happy man explaining and talking about something that he truly loves. We see him smile every time he speaks of a knife. I will definitely reach out to him for any custom orders.

@Darthpdogg 6 лет назад

Thank you David for the expert advise. After watching this video I took a road trip to that store. I didn't expect David to be the one to help me. I was the only one in the shop. He brought out all kinds of knives and gave me a detailed run down of every knife and helped me choose. He is such a humble man. I decided on a Miyabi 5000 8' chef knife and I couldn't be happier.

@michaelsanders1617 5 лет назад

David's knowledge and understanding is outstanding as is his eloquent ability to share it. I'm UK based but tempted to fly to the States just to meet him and browse his store! Wish we had a David over here! Thank you so much David.

@victorhugo-nt8yh 6 лет назад

This guy is the MAN! I have been shopping here before watching Hiroyuki-San. I can honestly say i have left pleasantly poor sometimes. I get more than what i need every time, and they actually care about their customers. After being a chef for a few years and their customer, my knife bag was stolen, and i lost thousands of dollars in knives (tools). The staff was very prompt and helped me get what i needed to get back on my feet. I constantly recommended Knife merchant to any level restaurant professional when they ask me about my knives and how "Sharp" they are. -Victor Hugo : sushi chef & General manager

@kimehunt4501 5 лет назад

My only complaint about this video is it's too short. Seriously make more videos with him.

@sixeighttoast2853 5 лет назад

When he is talking about wrapping a softer metal outside around a harder metal, it's called San Mai. Really great way to make blades. The knowledge this gentleman has is incredible. I could watch a four hour video of him talking about the different types of knife makers and how each blade is made.

@Hzec 9 лет назад

Can't believe I watched a 37 minute video about knives. It was damn worth it, he has so much knowledge on knives and I'm sure everyone who watched this video or goes into his store will learn something new. Great video nonetheless. :)

@careyclendenny1060 6 лет назад

yes it was worth it!!! wow! address please.

@sumitbanodha Год назад

Even though it's an old video, but man, the guy made me watch whole video with full attention. He possesses such in depth knowledge of knowledge, I haven't seen anyone on RU-vid who with such passion explains all you need know about knife.

@einundsiebenziger5488 Год назад

He does have an in-depth* knowledge of knives*, ideed.

@vilhelmhammershoi3871 4 года назад

What a pleasure to hear David, explain every single thing and yet you know there is so much more he could tell you! So happy to find this video! Thank you!

@user-ki3dj9pu9y 6 лет назад

David, as a chef myself I smiled when you started talking pricing on coffee and sodas and went into yield ect. Hit the nail on the head sir.

@StropSharp 4 года назад

I'm just a home cook who knows the value in good knives and share the same philosophy that good preparations are done by knife technique and that the attribute of sharpness is not only in how food looks but how it taste and how fast it cooks. There are cooks who would blow me out of the water with a basic el cheapo knife but there is something to be appreciated about high end knives for sure. Love these videos the guy is very well versed.

@lienadarev 6 лет назад

oh wow. David, you are just fascinating ... respect. It has become so rare to find this level of quality of information on the net. Big thanks.

@booyaskooya 8 лет назад

I wouldn't mind if this video was even longer. What a fun and interesting experience.

@sixeighttoast2853 5 лет назад

I have to comment again. I received my Minonokuni knife from this gentlemans website yesterday. I added the free sharpening option, and I have to say, it is the sharpest knife that I own. Much sharper than my Shun knife. The customer service of this company is also amazing. I had a typo on my billing address (my fault), and they called me within an hour to clear it up, and I received my knife a couple days later. The guy that does the sharpening is amazing as well. Just the weight of the knife I purchased was enough to cut beautifully through a 2 inch thick fillet like it was nothing. So if anyone is considering buying a knife from this company, I highly suggest it.

@christophernyland1256 5 лет назад

this is the BEST knife educational video i have ever had the pleasure of watching...Thank you Hiro!

@andregreen8040 11 месяцев назад

I bought a full set of Shun Reserve knives and honing steel along with matching knife block and knife storage pouch from Knife Merchants about 10 years ago. I paid half the price that they were selling for here in Australia. Great people to deal with.

@vash347 4 года назад

I just ordered 2 knives from this guy a few hours ago, lol. He is exactly this nice and this thorough. I had a special situation that included sending e-mails with picture descriptions of what I was looking for and he helped me find what I needed personally. I definitely recommend purchasing your knives or anything else you might need from this store! They're in San Diego - He stands by his product so if you have any issues - they have a great warranty setup to help you out.

@fnaticMSIl3oom 9 лет назад

I know this is an old video but I’ve got so much out of this and I’m not even a professional. Love cooking and long lasting functional tools so this video is so insightful. I hope I can find some of this stuff in the UK as I’m looking to replace my knives with stuff that will last me the next 10 years or so. Great Work!

Just visited this shop today. Holy Moly this store is amazing. Bill gave me an idea of how to keep my blades sharp, and David was kind enough to show me what the have to sell. You guys find the killer spots.

@TheSolarTutor 8 лет назад

I spent a good 45mins there. So is it true Hiro can do blowfish? That would be a video to post that Id enjoy seeing. I wish i lived closer to you guys to visit and dine, but I have taken a lot of advice from the chef and made my family happy. The Wasabi video is one of my favorite, and we have a store here that sells small 1 inch roots that grind up well and taste wonderful.

I will spend the extra money to buy from him because of the knowledge he has shared with us. Very informative and professional.

hey Dave I only know you through this BUT You seem to me to operate on the same value set that I have. Integrity through experience and a belief that reputation shows...through word of mouth and return custom. I so look forward to visiting your establishment and talking with you and your staff. More power and success to you.

@MichaelE.Douroux 2 года назад

Excellent! An incredible walk through the world of chef's knives. I come from the folding knife community, have watched a lot of videos/reviews, and have yet to see such a knowledgeable and comprehensive presentation. If Mr. Holly has any similar presentations on folding knives, I'd sure like to know about it.

@eric1102726 9 лет назад

@Arteolike 9 лет назад

At 6:54, he points to a Miyabi brand knife that's made my Zwilling, *that is not a Shun knife*, which is made by Kai. The Miyabi is generally sharper than the Shun classic line due to the harder SG2 Steel of the Miyabi vs the VG-MAX steel of the Shun Classic line. However, Shun does create a line of knives exclusively for Williams Sonoma that also use SG2 Steel called the Fuji line, they look incredible but are outrageously priced.

@mikewest3108 9 лет назад

So much information! Great video. I wonder if the micro carbide knives use powdered tungsten carbide in their blades. This would make them even harder than ceramic and you would need a diamond hone to sharpen them. I will ask Dave about that. He is the expert after all. Thanks guys. :-)
