The Only Knife Skills Guide You Need

That thin tomato slice was a heavy flex, and im shook.

I feel much safer walking round London after watching this

I love that every single “claw cutting” video I’ve seen neglects the last Chunk of the food being cut because it’s awkward as fuck to try and hold it with a claw.

3 years later, and this video is the first thing i send people to when they ask me about knife skills. Short, to the point and spot on. The one thing that is NEVER stressed enough, is have a sharp knife. Its mentioned as you did, but never stressed, how important a truly sharp knife is for efficient cutting. When I teach people cooking basics, I let them use my knives, and they always say the same things..... its scary sharp, i didnt know knives could be this sharp, where did my finger tip go? Outside of ptofessional kitchens that do in house knife maintenance, its amazing how many people have never worked with a properly sharp knife

Best advice I was ever given in a restaurant was when the sous chef showed me as a dishwasher how to hold a knife and I hold it exactly the same way as you! Never thought one simple act would effect me so much years later because I never stopped and now I run a kitchen! Lol

“tips on how to use a knife regardless of what you’re using it for “ serial killers: 👁👄👁

why does joshua know everything ??? i wanna learn how to make food, he's the guy. i get into brewing and he's suddenly in my recommended i watch a few knife making videos and this btchass shows up AGAIN

I like the drag technique because of how ends the cut with the tip of the blade, leaving the sliced piece in place. It's great when you're trying to keep the shape of the cut pieces and not have them sticking to the blade or bouncing around landing under the blade again.

Ingredients you'll need: A knife Some patience Wanting to actually be good with a knife Be mad cute

My inner head voice was just screaming "The CLAW" from toy story throughout this whole video, 11/10

how much this knife is sharped is one of the most satisfying pleasures i’ve experienced in life

I think this is what I like most about you and your content...the natural energy you have and exhaust in your videos.

Every other Joshua Weissman video: 🏝🌞😀😚 This one: 🤬🔫🔪🧨

1:42 missed opportunity to write “Please don’t do this. This is unWeissman”

You remind me of Michael from the office when he’s like “EVERYBODY CALM DOWN!!!!” but he’s the one freaking out 😂😂

I'm a knife sharpener. Sometimes people like to wait and watch while I sharpen their knives. So I brought my laptop into the workshop and decided to play THIS video (as well as others) so they could watch it while I sharpened it. Not only did they ask me to turn it up louder but they were fascinated, entertained and learned something new. They even grabbed one of my numerous spare knives I had laying around to practice pinch grip. Gold.

This is basically him flexing his cutting skills for 5 minutes

Me: (Tries to do 0:10) Also me: If I put these severed fingers on ice, the doctors can reattach it, right?

I came here because I sliced my index the other day with a new chef knife, and told my wife that had it been a nicer knife ($40 Henckel with Chinese steel off of Amazon) I probably would have lost my finger tip. As it is it went into my fingernail a little bit. Fortunately it's healing back together cleanly. I appreciate your videos, this gives me some technique to practice, thank you!

I'm 53 years old and have NEVER ONCE given any thought to the way I hold the knife or the food ... and the claw / using the middle finger as a guide thing MAKES SO MUCH SENSE! Friggin love these nugget videos that are life changing! THANK YOU!
