I like her! She doesn't showboat and takes her time to explain the different cuts she's making with precision rather than speed
I know! She knew exactly what she was saying and explained exactly what she was doing, didn’t really go off course and explained everything so well!
Yes she was very straightforward and patiently explained what she was doing
That's a girl
Yup she doesn't showboat by a bunch of amateur UA-cam cooks
SHES A GIRL ?
As a surgeon, I am genuinely impressed by how she disassembled that chicken. It was like a vet school anatomy lesson. Well done!
Me: gets 11th Grade Biology Class Viernam flashbacks
This proves that your need to be a surgeon to debone a chicken.
Thank u 4 ur service
Ah yes
You need to be a surgeon to debone a chicken
Very smart thinking

You can really see how passionate Japan is about their knives. Gorgeous, efficient, sleek, sharp. Everything you want in a knife. It’s really an art.
knife and sword making in Japan is a thousand year tradition. it's been part of their lives. when Japan entered the new era, many samurai swordsmithes turned to knife making. the expensive Japanese knives today are still made with the same bimetal Shingane Kawagane Kabuse technique and quenching Haki-ire method. very expensive but they practically stay sharp absolutely a long time.
I would love to see her in more videos, she is a natural teacher.

I watch these epicurious “how to” videos every time I get drunk and they’re always incredibly entertaining
I cheer to your comment with a glass of wine to my right
I can definitely relate to this 🤣🤣
First knife is Takamura Migaki Gyuto R2 21cm, one of my favorites in my kitchen, price is compareble very cheap for the quality 150-200€, same quality knifes with same performance are usualy about 300-400€
Petty and Nakiri are from Sakay Takayuki, very good knives as Takamura, here are both in VG10, other brands or Masters could not recognise from that video angle
Info: not all Japanese stones need to be soaked, and NEVER let them stay in the water, they will crack, most known Waterstones are Naniwa, Shapton or KING like in this video, (Most KING are thursty and need a soak, they will bubble in the watter, after they stoped bubbling they are ready to use)
To those who're overwhelmed: most Japanese households only have one knife in kitchen: Santoku.
Yeah, maybe households made up of singles or couples. Otherwise, most families have petty knives as well and probably a deba or two for cutting fish.
If I want only a knife for all, for domestic use, would you choose a santoku over a 210mm gyuto?
Isn't that the same as the Bunka?
Exactly... The industry likes to make a big deal of the varieties just so they can sell more....
For home usage, a general purpose knife, paring knife and kitchen scissors is probably all you are going to need.
But in a professional kitchen. If you are cutting the same thing for hours on ends, day in and out. Then a knife designed for what you cut helps you enjoy your job that much more.
Getting strong warrior vibes from this Chef
im getting nonbianary fruitcake vibes
@@GBBWAR you're just a bad person huh
Same
@@NecroEdward1118 no i'm just honest
If you look up a whole tuna being broken down in Japan, yeah that "knife" looks very sword like. I saw it when I visited Tsukiji fish market and that is a deadly looking piece of cutlery.
I just bought my husband a hankotsu and gave it to him as an early christmas gift i was so excited! He cried. I remember watching this with him and his face lit up when she pulled knife out. Its worth every penny for his reaction!
This is ASMR for Chefs in a way. Seeing all those knives being used and in the most perfect way.
I'm freaking out over how perfect that salmon she was cutting looked.
For real, that looked amazing
The sweet potato had the most gorgeous color
it was okay
Actually it looked like farmed Atlantic salmon. Not a bad fish by any means, but its not on the same level as a wild caught king or sockeye.
*he*
Do I plan on replacing my dull Walmart knife set anytime soon? No
Did I just watch a 24 minute on amazing knifes I can’t afford? Yes
There's tons of reasonable priced knives! Even buying a decent $30ish knife is better than anything in a knife set.
Watch burrfection for some ideas!
You could just sharpen your Walmart knife.
Domestic use is a fraction of what a knife has to slice through in professional use, therefore a professional knife in a home kitchen, unless it's a specialty knife, like a thin and long blade for cutting fish slices, is useless overkill.
On the other hand, most accidents are caused by dull knives - with dull knives, you have to use more force, and the higher the force the lower the control, which makes dull knives much more likely to go somewhere else than where you intended.
Save up some money and buy a nice knife, a gyuto or santoku. You can get a great one for the price of a video game and it will be a joy to use for the rest of your life.
@@brokenrecord3523 Any knife, unless maintained well, becomes dull. I wouldn't recommend any Japanese knife for inexperienced home users. Japanese knives are hardened to a higher hardness and have a thinner and more brittle blade than decent, not very expensive European style chef's knives. For someone insufficiently skilled with the knife, or just a tiny bit careless, this is likely to cause a lot of chipping the blade. They're also a lot more difficult to sharpen right. They're an excellent tool for professionals, but a non-professional would likely quickly turn a nice gyuto into a small dull saw, that rips instead of cutting.
I’ve never been this much motivated to start educating my self around kitchen and cooking. Mesmerizing 🤩
I love the whole thing and especially the breaking down the chicken, because you see how to get an airline breast and have the tender left over so you can do other things with it. In most videos they just slice down along the breastbone to free the breast, which isn't wrong or bad but this does give you another option if you'd prefer. Also the structure, moving from generalist to specialist knives, was very thoughtful. One thing I can't stress too much: If you're new to Japanese knives and you're an avid home cook who preps vegetables a lot, for goodness' sake pick up an inexpensive nakiri. You don't need the dimples. You'll fly through prep work that used to be tedious with one-motion push cuts. Super, super efficient.
I Came here to make a decision on what knife to purchase. I really needed to make up my mind. I now see I need ALL OF THEM!!
Same! Decided to get an 8 inch gyuto over kiritsuke
I really recommend the Santoku for a beginner!
@@marcuslouievega4865 I went with a 8" gyutoh too 👊

Christine, you’re so so very good.
The 24 minutes is fully packed with useful information, no frills, no BS.
I have quite a few Japanese knives and I use them very often. I have also watched many other videos to learn from different perspectives. But I come back to watch this one once in a while, and every time I learn something new, especially your hand skills.
THANK YOU
The santoku is my favorite knife I always told my co workers it was my “universal knife” and I love how much you explained it here

Hi Epicurious, I just want to say that this serie of ''how to ...'' is absolutely my favourite serie on UA-cam ever. Please keep making episodes! Like seriously, when I see one of these videos are uploaded I go Grab Some snacks and a drink to just sit down and Watch it
and if you end up leveling up your kitchen skill, that's just icing on the cake
One of my groomsmen bought me a kiritsuke and it’s life-changing coming from using Western-style knives my whole life. Seeing how she uses each of these knives effortlessly just shows how skillful she is, and I can’t wait to get more.
Christine is a natural! Love that she’s so no-nonsense and passionate about what she does. It was an absolute joy to watch this video!
That Nakiri knife is nice, the dimpled texture of the top that avoids sticking vegetables is a real game changer!
Instead of the hammer marks (if hand done gets really expensive), look for a "Granton edge" where they grind shallow ovals into the knife. I see a lot of slicers with this grind and it does the same thing (reduce friction). My Japanese chisels have a similar grind on the flat for the same reason.
You can have any knife with a dimpled texture. I have a Kiritsuke, a Santoku, and a Nakiri with dimpled sides. Nakiri is nice for chopping, which this video did not show. It is essentially a Japanese vegetable cleaver.
The dimpled textured is created by beating the steel with a hammer. There's a similar 'nice-looking' knife that has a ripple design. I think that's created by using different metals and then hammering.
@@staticvoidmain that's exactly what she said about the nakiri
@@williammills7778 Not exactly. She did not use it for chopping. She only said - and used it - to "slice open" the vegetables. Burrfection has a video on how it is used for chopping (watch?v=9Wdto78bqa4). That was how my wife uses a Chinese vegetable cleaver (until she started using the nakiri instead, as it is much lighter - we're both Asians and cook Asian food). That is the reason it is flat in the first place: for a chopping motion, not so much slicing, or rocking
.
My nakiri is one of my favorite knives, and I felt like she did not do justice in demonstrating it.
Frank is still melting his metal for his sword.
Frank wouldn't do that, because he knows cast metal isn't good for blades. He's a hammer and anvil kind of guy
@@Valanway lol
He might still be mining it lol
that would be SWORD...
@@seahippies oh sorry didn't noticed.
Epicurious, you should let people bookmark these videoes, they're great.
I really appreciate how she explains how every knife works. Super details, perfect pace and demonstration. What a great video!
When people talk about The Nakiri, all I could think about is Erina!
Same, Erina and Alice
It was cool knowing the origin of that knife’s name before I even watched Food Wars
Wait.... does if I go and rewatch food wars and Erina isn’t using a nakiri knife imma be upset
I miss foodwars 😭
LMFAO TRUE
“Precise nice red onion dice” was a beautiful phrase
Awesome video! Christine really knows her knives and the way she describes the traits of each of them really shows her passion and knowledge. Cheers!
I love every single one of Epi's videos! This video actually did inspire me to invest in some Japanese style kitchen knives! I have always used Western styled cutlery, and now that I am in a place in my life where I can afford a decent set of knives to replace the cheapo set I have been using since college/grad school. Super excited! Wonderful video detailing the different forms and functions!
I think I fell in love when she cut off the fish's head and then said goodbye to it. Someone who can cook and has a sense of humor? Yes please.
I feel dumb for not knowing that chicken tender is a specific muscle and not just a breast cut.
I'm right there with ya, Bojang.
Most restaurants use the breast because they are cheap so I don’t blame you
same
I was just thinking the same thing
Buy/raise a whole animal and familiarize yourself with the many parts. The experience/knowledge is invaluable, at least in my life. Funny thing...tenders, along with wings were once dirt cheap.
She is a very good presenter, would definitely watch more or her videos. Intelligent, coherent, obviously skilled. A+
It feels like throughout the video she just gets more excited about all these knives and their uses, it's honestly refreshing to see someone who just gets to the point too and doesn't crack quips a lot.
Next one, how to use a single chinese cleaver to cut everything.
A true favourite of a blind Chinese Chef.

Dude this is such a great video. Thank you this is so educational. I went with a gyuto, Santoku, paring and honesuki. I also picked up a Japanese western style boning knife. When I upgraded to Japanese knives this video was the most instructive on shapes and techniques.
Great production value and nice to see many of the different knife styles shown here. Of course there's some super specific ones like unagi-naki but you even talk about a honesuki which is great!
“Treat them like they’re your bestfriends” hope they don’t stab you in the back 😂 bahaha
No
@@quafernbruh3530 Why no?
It's okay
Lol, and I love your pfp :)
F
A lot of useful information here, but the reality of a 70/30 bevel as mentioned at 1:22 is not that it was sharpened at 70 and 30 degrees but at likely 12-15 degrees with 70% of the grinding taking place on the dominant side of the blade and 30% of the grind on the opposite side. Thank you for the technique knowledge!
And most knives are 50/50 so don’t just start sharping all your knives to 70/30.
yep yep, it will not work if you just decide to change blade shape with grinder stone - you just ruin the knife. You need to match original edge parameters or it will not be as sharp as it can be. Not like it is not possible at all, but it will take a lot, lot, lot time and you will probably f*** it up. And by "you" I mean reader, not topic starter
I was surprised that Lau made that mistake, considering her seasoned knife skills.
Also nowadays some high end japanese knives company offers maintenance and sharpening service, its not always a must to sharpen the knives yourself.
I was going to say exactly the same thing, but I thought someone else must have spotted this before me. Like you say, 70/30 is nothing to do with angle, it percentage of grind.
I'm surprised she made a mistake like this. She must have just mis-spoke
Great presentation! Very helpful and such a well done delivery. Would definitely watch a show Christine was hosting. I look forward to more from Chef Lau soon.
Just about the best, most informative, most useful culinary arts video I’ve ever seen. You’re fabulous!

That oyster knife scares me. It would be going straight through my hand instead of just a light little jab.
@Leopold I dont know man, the kakimuki they show in the video at 14:25 has a blade and a point, and they even call it a sharp piece of metal. It doesnt take much force to go through muscle, especially with how narrow the point is
@Leopold I don't know where you get this information. The origin of a blade has nothing to do with its sharpness. Any knife can be sharp. Some are easier to sharpen but lose their edge, others are harder to sharpen but hold the edge longer. Are korean knives better than japanese? certainly not. Korean knives are suited for korean techniques, japanese knives are suited for japanese techniques.
Also, we aren't talking about blades anyways, we are talking about a pointy shiv with an edge. It doesn't matter where its from, your flesh doesnt care if its korean or japanese when its being pierced.
Korean knives are cool, but I wouldn't go around saying they are better than german or japanese knives, cause again, its steel and you can get any of them sharp. Also, I know plenty of real chefs who haven't even used a single korean knife in their career
the handle really threw me off
Amateurs better put on a Kevlar security glove to prevent accidents
Fun fact: kakimuki in Hungarian would literally mean "poop dude" have a nice day.
🤣🤣
thank you
In Finnish ”Kakimuki” is one letter away from meaning ”poop mug” (kakkimuki). So, now you know.
Thank you very much. You have changed my aspect of my life. A new meaning has been found. Thank you.
It's a Hungarian fella I can confirm. our language is genuinely wonderful.
I use a honesuki as a mitli purpose knife, mainly a petty/paring knife, I love the way they feel and handle, it's easy to do super delicate work with the one I have, even my super thin scallions and dicing shallots and stuff, they are amazing just for small work
Wow, one of the best educational vid's I've ever seen. I've been looking for a good Japanese knife for a long time and this really explains things!!

An excellent video, really informative and Christine really demonstrated her knife skills here in explaining how to use each of these knives.
Love how she explains
Wonderful, enthusiastic, confident and in love with her art - just a joy to watch!
Japanese knives draw from tradition, technology and an intergenerational knowhow of how to manipulate steel. Thinner, harder, sharper are the important trio of attributes for an excellent kitchen knife. A Japanese knife has thinner, sharper bevels made of harder steel that keep their edge for longer.

The talker has good knowledge and is well skilled.
This is truly amazing. what's crazy is I just started at this ramen shop last month and I'm learning how to carve a pig shoulder. I was gonna buy the HONESUKI knife but I just saw the Hankotsu is literally made for it which I had no idea. I'm so happy I found this video. but which kinda makes sense too if I'm guessing the relation between Tonkotsu Ramen( pork bone broth) and honKOTSU..... haha maybe....
Great video. I’m slowly building up my Japanese knife collection and I use this as a checklist to see which ones I’m missing.
The bolster is where the blade connects to the handle. What she is referring to when she says bolster is the heel of the knife.
There's a considerable amount of misinformation in the video, but at least she didn't say gyoto or santuko
I don’t think so man. I think you just didn’t put attention.
@@joseemilianoriosfernandez1504 She refers to the bolster when cutting an onion. Clearly she is talking about heel since that is what she is using. 2:20 if you are curious.
And again at 3:25 about carrots. Idk do you care about how tall a bolster is when cutting carrots? I know I don't. I care about the heel.
I don't think so man. I think it's you who didn't pay attention.
Yeah, was looking to see if anyone had mentioned this. I'm happy to see several people did.
@@joseemilianoriosfernandez1504 ... didn't pay* attention.
I feel like a small child and she's my mom/sister teaching me how to use knives because i'm a big girl/boy now, It's so wholesome
Christine Lau , thank you for the way you explained the subject. It was definitely more than excellent.
I saw her confidence and vocal projection increases as the video progresses!!❤️
And the editing is dope!
Her skill at using all these knives is unreal! I've never seen a salmon being skinned so cleanly.
Me who can‘t order a big mac:
*watches a video of expensive knives that i could never afford*
Someday, you will be able to at least have one Japanese knife
you can get a good gyutou for 45 bucks
Watch ebay closely. Last year I picked up some shorter knives from Japan for about $20 each plus postage. They weren't perfect by any means. But they'll put you in that world. Longer knives are more expensive and harder to find. But the santoku's and pettys can be found in that range. You'll need water stones for sharpening. King Stones are cheap and perfectly fine.
*Cries in minor*
Do what I'm doing, teach yourself blacksmithing so you can make your own kitchen knives
I love the way she starts with knives best for veggie prep, and then moves into the fish and red meat knives. And I really like this chef's personality. It'd be great to watch her cook.

Absolutely impressed by the way she cut the chicken! I'm going to buy that knife. I use a pair of scissors now, but there is no way I can do such a clean job.
Super adorable lady. She made me wonder if there's a channel with only vegetable cutting? ASMR elements there.
vegetable chopping/cutting clips seems pretty rare

@Dyanosis Sorry to offend. Have a great day!
I like Nakiri. It's really the best for cutting and piling pumpkin. Also quite easy and quickly cutting other veggies and herbs.
My 14th years old middle son use for cooking too.
The best video I’ve found about Japanese knives for someone who doesn’t know anything about them. Thanks!
Outstanding job, she's a natural with a great dry sense of humor. 😁👍
She definitely loves her works.
Everything in the kitchen is beautiful for her.
I love that she's rocking the takamuras.
I just bought my first Japanese Nakiri knife & I can’t wait to use it at work. First knife and many more to come. Would anyone recommend buying a Japanese Damascus-steel knife?
If it's for professional use, you should invest in a single or couple of Honyaki, the core and cladded knives and ones with multiple soft steels won't last a lifetime. It's better to invest in Honyaki, either Abura or Mizu is fine but get one where all the blade is good hard steel on the blade, it will last long and be a good investment.
She is amazing, explains so naturally and fun..brilliant explanations..well done!
That was fantastic! I loved the in depth descriptions of the knives reinforced with tutorials of how to use them!
Chef Christine Lau is a beast, thanks for the jampacked education in such a short video :) I see you with your kitchen hands too
