10 Things to NEVER Do with a Japanese Knife
Japanese kitchen knives are incredible tools of culinary precision, but with great steel comes great responsibility. If misused, Japanese knives can rust, chip, or worse. Fortunately, Mike is here to show you everything you should NEVER do with a Japanese knife!

watching this hurt so much... Just reminds me why I never let anyone use my Japanese knives

Someone needs to call the knife abuse hotline. That was brutal. Funny... but brutal.

I feel like I just watched a Ginsu infomercial. Also I watched a video a few days ago where a Japanese chef scraped the cutting board with his knife and you could hear it clicking and making all kinds of noise. It was so very very painful!

Keeping a stypic pencil around has saved me a lot of time around the 3:20 moments.

I have to know the story of how these stunt knives became stunt knives.

I was laughing and cringing and feeling uncomfortable and laughing again. What a rollercoaster of emotions!

You could have added a flashing SARCASM sign because we live in 2022 and there are people that don't get sarcasm.

Another reason NOT to put the knife in the dishwasher as Bob Kramer says it that if someone else (or you) unloads the dishwasher they can cut themselves REALLY BAD.

People please treat you Japanese knives as the tool they were intended!

You don't go off-roading with a 2 seater Ferrari!

“No Japanese knifes we’re harmed in the making of this video” 😂

I'm giving a set of your knives to my daughter as a home warming gift, and I will be certain to include a link to this video - HILARIOUS!

I was watching this as my daughter was falling asleep in my arms, I started laughing and groaning so hard she woke up and yelled “he shouldn’t be doing that with a knife” hahaha 😂

I was laughing so hard and cringing the whole video. Thanks for that.

The breaking off the tip skit, with the Santoku screwdriver, was heartbreaking.

[gabrieldorthe]

You've got a fantastic actor in the person of Mike! This feels like a horror movie

[dannyseo]

1:28 Is that when he got cut? And yes, they are so sharp it don't hurt.

[ericblais]

I had to stop before the end... my hart was pounding

[aluhans]

Can we get closeups of that knife?? f.e. on IG? I really want to know how that looks now.

[hunter-tmkl]

1:10 whose phone is that in the dishwasher 🤣🤣

[Zeus-lyod]

The next video will be how to fix a damaged santoko?

[hdbcewg]

I can do not believe that there are such as sloppy knife users exist…Oops it's not you Mike 😊

[garnetpaul]

Handmade knives are art
Mike’s videos hurt my soul
Please stop doing this

[JohnDoe-xoyf]

If your japanese kitchen knife gets dull for any reason, sharpen it on a shapton sharpening glass. Just make sure you remove and dispose that stupid glued bottom stone part first.

[kildermc]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 so I´m gonna try all this advanced technics

[seancoutts]

God damn I hated everything about this video and yet I watched it 3 times in a row
