Love how you came back and hit ‘em again. Cheers Pete. I’m sure 99.9% of your viewers wouldn’t ever buy a husk anyway.
Yes, don't buy hussk nor any of their puppet company trademark names
Too bad it's an outdoor knife that he's reviewing as a kitchen knife. He's an idiot.
me too!
From the British Stainless Steel Association website:
"The austenitic and ferritic ’18/8′, ’18/10′ and ’18/0′ stainless steels cannot be hardened by heat treatment and so can only be used for knife handles, forks and spoons."
What you have there is a sharpened spoon handle.
Thanks for posting that
Pete, I appreciate you putting on a brand new shirt, right out of the package, for this important public service announcement.
I hope that's where my patreon money is going.
I’m an Australian journalist (and a big fan of the channel) - deal with defamation law all the time. The basic rule is that companies with more than 10 employees can’t sue for defamation in Australia, even if you’re slagging off the business and not the product.
While I am not a lawyer, I am reasonably confident a knife cannot sue for defamation :)
If, as I am guessing is the case, Huusk has no Australian presence - no registered business name etc - they probably don’t have standing to sue anyway.
They’re just trying to get the negative review taken down with a bullsh*t pretext. F*ck ‘em.
*FUCK them
Edit: in particular
As a journo you should do a piece on this and out the company going after an aussie reviewer for telling people the truth. Interview Pete, get him some more exposure.
Probably it is just that they want UA-cam to take down the video and not a lawsuit against him as a person. Then as far as i know not Australien law is relevant but the law of the country where UA-cam sits (usa?)
@@jacknemo8021 I second this emotion. If they complain about the burn, add petrol.
also, I concur with this response. Especially the last two words. In ALL CAPS. *BOLD*. With LOTS of exclamation marks!!!
It’s kind of a dead giveaway to anybody in East Asia that these knives aren’t made in Japan, when the text on the box is written in simplified chinese characters
Which is something no normal Japanese person uses.
I watch a lot of hunting channels and some of those guys have said they have received ceases and desist letters from companies because they did negative reviews on their products.Great job not backing down from them.
Tony Marfione is pretty famous for doing threatening to sue anyone who says anything bad about Microtech, he even sent a cease and desist to someone who made a joke about him getting divorced 6 times.. Rick Hinderer did the same thing when someone posted hardness tests showing his blades were run below spec.
@@arrowheadguys7637 er er er...
You inference is correct, 18-10 (18% chromium, 10% nickel) is an austenitic grade that does not harden through heat treating. Bravo for restating your opinion on this one!
literal pot metal
@@Lurifaks707 and forks and spoons metal!
I love this video. Unfortunately, my brother bought me a Huusk last year. I struggled with whether or not I should tell him the knife is utter garbage. I wasn't going to tell him until he mentioned he might give one as a gift to someone else.😢
Such an awful feeling when someone you care about buys you something that's complete and utter shite
Id say tell him honestly. Dont let him waste money frankly
@@Ash__7 I was just about to buy 2 of those. Glad I decided to make some research first!
They look really nice tho lol
I've worked for Knife Shop Australia for over 2 years until I moved country last month, and every time Huusk started doing a bunch of advertising, we would get a million calls asking if we sold them. Unfortunately it was often older folks, and I felt like they were totally being taken for a ride. We got one in for sharpening and the sharpener thought it was absolutely tragic steel
I have always searched for the right adjective for bad knife steel. I have felt it when trying to sharpen a $5 Walmart knife and the steel sort of sticks to the stone instead of being cut like a respectable steel, like it was partially hardened clay. But I did not know the right word.
You have delivered it to me. "tragic"! Thank you very much.
My favorite part of my day is when I see Australian Nicholas Hoult post a video about sharp pieces of steel
😂 there is indeed a resemble Nicholas Hoult
Maybe instead of coming after you for giving a good honest review they should spend their time & money making a ACTUAL good knife and not try to lie about where it's made. Don't let them shut you down and I really appreciate you letting people know what kind of crap they might buy! Thanx
The Spyderhole makes it easier to open, which if it was a folding knife would be very useful.
Love this post so much.
/Should I ship for another one?
Good on you for doubling down on them. They must still have a warehouse full of them to shift.
That was most gracious. My favorite moment "You cannot use that one HUUSK, I did NOT CONSENT!"
whoa! Thanks Pete! I almost bought 4 husk knives until I saw this honest evidence based opinion video review. Few! That was close! Great job sir.
In my opinion your opinion is well-informed and reasonable. I offer this opinion after watching thousands of UA-cam videos…and a lifetime of making and using knives. 😆
It is this numbskull's opinion that you opinion is a correct opinion.
Pete has discovered the Z hunter of "kitchen knives" ...Paint it Zombie road cone green with red splatters and frame it. It'll be worth more if you sold it with a comedic approach😂
The Z-Hunter doesn’t deserve the hate Huusk warrants. The Z-Hunter is actually a proper knife.
This demand that, uh, Nick here, gets one.
BTW, those Victorinox kitchen knives are awesome. I got my mom one for Christmas years ago and then the year after my sisters and stepdad pooled our money to buy her and nice set of Henkel knives and to this day she really only uses the Victorinox.
Older women tend to save their precious kitchenwares for "special occasions" whatever in their minds that means. My mother had a set of silverware cutlery that never used because it was reserved for that special occasion.
She passed few years ago and that special occasion never came.
The Victorinox was my first “real” kitchen knife, and really opened my eyes as to why a good chefs knife is important. I have since added a couple of different brands as funds have allowed (Wusthof is my favorite so far).
I would add that in addition to the Victorinox, would be to purchase a honing rod to realign the edge between sharpening. It makes all the difference when doing meal prep.
Great video, glad to see you call out these manufacturers of knife inspired products.
I've been happy with my Victorinox knives.
I love the Fibrox Pro by Victorinox! Super comfortable, very affordable
i have been a butcher for 45 years. you have taught me in two minutes what i need to know about knives and how they should work. i have spent many hours on the stone trying to get a good edge on my knives. sometimes it worked and some it did not . good on you mate.
Well done for reviewing that dreadful product.Thanks for your clear, well argued, information rich, fact-filled video. I've been receiving Huusk YT ads, and wondered if they were more than marketing gimmicks. Thanks to you, I am sure!
I came here from "Honed", and wanted to support you against bullies, and 'shysters'.
Best Wishes for a Healthy, Happy, Peaceful 2024. ☮
Edit: PS I bought a Victorinox chef's knife and a couple of other types more than 40 years ago, and it's still going. However, what I lacked for decades was good advice on sharpening it. I eventually got that from my local butcher, but their was a dearth of helpful, every day, practical advice. I have a couple of modest-cost knives that only receive modest kitchen use. They don't need attention from a dedicated knife-sharpening system. A sub-£10 water stone is OK, and much better than nothing.
I genuinely hope this turns more people into knife enthusiasts.
I bought a Chinese steel knife with the same shape from Aliexpress a couple of years ago. It’s high carbon, very hard, great edge retention and sharp as all buggery. It doesn’t have the finger hole and I use it for butchering beast carcasses which it is fantastic for. I tried it in the kitchen, gave up straight away and reverted back to my German knives.
Pete, I can’t believe your original Huusk Japan review was taken down … I hope this video gets double the views of that video and brings in twice as much money.
I'm grateful with huusk for creating the knife that makes me appreciate my own knives even more (some are actually made in Japan 😉 )
Congrats on possibly THE BEST, most objective blade review channel--- bar none --- AND, less spectacular, of a junk, gimmicky Chinese-made scam knife.
I've watched your edge retention tests for years, and use your work as my #1 source of accurate, reliable and highly consistent benchmark testing.
Kudos, and keep up the great work!
We Stand With Pete! This aggression will not stand...man.
Well, that's like your opinion, man.
@@tsriftsal3581 Are you employed sir?
I hope the Huusk people have shares in an Aloe farm 🔥
God, I was literally going to buy this knife based on the Ad that came up while watching UA-cam, thank you so much for your honest opinion 😊
Wow, just wow. Thanks for an unbiased and comprehensive review. I wonder if Huusk collectors are like Case collectors...
As always, an island of insight and sanity. Also, 18/10 is great for making forks and spoons!
And UA-cam was swamped with ads from this product not that long ago.
I bought one for its general shape, thinking it won't be worse than generic cheap knives.
1. The hollow grind has nice potential for sharpness, but it only thins down to about 1mm. This is still quite thick, and a lot of material needs to be removed when this knife needs sharpening. As you also observed, the blade getting thick so close to edge is
2. The final cutting edge is sharpened to a whopping 90 degrees, maybe slightly above. I observed this with a magnifier, as well as a macro lens (capable of 1:1 imaging). That's 45 degrees per side, as opposed to 12-15 degrees per side for good quality knives.
3. It took me a while to understand the material description, when it says "stainless steel (18/10 electroplated)". Electroplating is a method of covering a material (metal) with another one, more resistant to corrosion. So it occurs to me that the "stainless steel" might be only a thin layer on surface, and once it is sharpened, the edge exposes whatever is on the inside, unprotected from rust.
4. Maximum rated hardness for this steel is marginally below anything that can be considered a knife. I tried the file test on the edge, and it bites in. Not much (the file itself isn't great quality and has rather fine teeth), but it bites. On my main chef knife, it skates.
They're selling them as yet another brand all blacked out. Scary how many people bring these in for sharpening, I do my best to convince people to just bin them.
I saw a friend post a pic of one on twitter, he was really excited about getting the awesome knife the packaging led him to believe it was. I started to type a reply, but decided it was not for me to rain on his parade
Thank you for not giving in to bullies. Crap knives with misleading sales tactics SHOULD be called out.
”神话” - Simplified Chinese characters, it is not Japanese Kanji. QOD.
Previous words were still a little more difficult to distinguish whether it is Japanese or not.
And ”宮原春彦 鍛冶", ”宮原春彦 包丁", ”宮原春彦 日本刀", ”宮原春彦 刃物" was not hit with Japanese search engine.
In my opinion, nobody has ever cooperated and/or certified as a blacksmith to make this product.
And to think my favorite kitchen knife I have is my Grandmothers 12” 90 year old Carbon Steel KaBar. That knife holds an edge better than any other knife in my kitchen. Only down side is you better clean and dry throughly or it stains and rusts.
I trust supermarket own brands to use better steel in their knives than these wannabe fashion brands.
Edit: I'll double down. I, an unemployed alcoholic with 6 months experience on a welder, could make a better kitchen knife with an angle grinder and the first piece of scrap tool steel I find.
Yup. Protip, use a leaf spring. High carbon content, preferred steel for many blacksmiths.
I wanna see that. If you do make sure to post it and put that shit thru the ringer. I will be waiting.
Use spring steel as it will hold an edge really well
So youtube doesn't let you appeal the decision?!? That's freaking ridiculous.
2nd video ive seen of this channel. The reasoning for this knife being garbage are all valid. Crappy knife, looks cool. Piggybacking on Japanese building Quality is absolutely deplorable. There's a reason that they don't brag about being made in japan.
Victorinox kitchen knives are in almost every restaurant kitchen in the world.
Man I literally thought this was made in Japan, I was about to purchase !! Thank you for pointing out that the company uses fraudulent tactics to promote this piece of junk. Unbelievable… looks like high quality Damascus. These guys should refund each and every customer of their purchase. Talk about false advertising ! These guys take the cake.
Mess with the bull you get the horns. You are the horns Pete and I love it! Seriously, I bet if they just made a halfway decent knife in the first place and then marketed the heck out of it you would have hardly noticed. I hate marketing fraud. It’s gotten to where I see a product showing up in adds everywhere and I just assume it’s probably junk. Pretty safe bet.
Thank you for honest OPINION of Huusk knife. I have plenty high end kitchen knives but I often reach for my Victorinox. Great call.
"...silly holes"
**sad spyderco noises**
America’s Test Kitchen has rated that Victorinox as their best knife and best value for years.
Here is a good example of what Huusk is all about: I work at a university. My institutional user account and email has all these codes, firewalls and logon verification systems, and a lot of the functions you have to be physically on campus to use. It generally works pretty good in terms of eliminating scammers and spammers. Still every once in a while something, particularly persistent slips through net. One more recent one, which not surprisingly turned up after I watched some critical videos about this abominable product - was a sales pitch for Huusk knives, proclaiming them to be among the best kitchen knives in the world. Clearly a piece of modern literature that every educator needs in their institutional inbox on a regular basis. An effing Huusk knife ad. Right now on the Spam & Scam top 10 - it’s between that, an automated audio-transcriber that looks like a cheap Casio keyboard from the early 80s - and a set of lovingly crafted hearing aids from, India - Jewel of the Empire.
It IS disingenuous. It IS dishonest, and now it IS definitely malicious. Bad product and bad marketing is bad product and bad marketing.
Good work bro
I had the ''privilige'' of holding two of their knives in my hands at the same time, a friend of mine bought two since the second one was heavily discounted and she wanted to give one as a present to a friend, I compared the ''forge'' marks and ic confirmed my suspicion. It was identical, meaning the forge marks are embossed by dye.
''Japanese'' knives, sold by Lithuanian company, made in China. Disclaimer, Made in China doesn't necessarily mean it must be bad, they make some pretty decent stuff.
Clearly a scam.
Literally everything single selling point for Huusk knives is false. The fake “forged” look, the fake Japanese marketing. They couldn’t even be bothered to use a decent blade steel. 100% scam of a company.
That aggressive recurve line with a finger hole to lock the knife into your hand looks like it could be a decent close quarters fighting/slashing knife… if the materials were decent quality.
Love this follow up to the letter. as always we appreciate your opinion based on your many years of experience
I own this knife. It was $20. The shape is awkward for a kitchen knife. It’s better as a camp knife or something it doesn’t bother you to abuse.
I've been a professional cook for 20yrs. The most comfortable, and best all around knives for the money: Fibrox Pro by Victorinox. Super comfortable, Razor sharp edge that keeps for a long time, and made of quality steel. Cheers
I know this numbskull isn't the originator of this opinion or even this posting but "cultural appropriation" some people are saying. "Cultural appropriation" is bad speak. Some people are saying.
Thank for for sticking with it brother. Effing brilliant. I'm glad you found your new groove. It's tough turning a hobby into a job.
AKB seemed to be having a rut in time with you and his new push is refreshing and entertaining.
Thank you sir.
Holy crap, I have that knife, the victornox one. Bought it used off EBay for 20$. Sharpened up great and makes a fine camp kitchen knife. Money well spent. That huusk thing looks awful.
I bought a couple cheap victorinox utility/steak knives for about $8 each off eBay for camping. A brilliant sharp knife for its price and can be used to cut/slice just about anything.
Thank you for saving my broke self from getting lured to buy this knife when I don’t even cook
I am glad that you are holding strong against them. I am so annoyed by the flood of shitty knife advertisements on UA-cam. For me as a knowledgeable knife enthusiast i can detect those shitty knives from miles away but many just have to trust what they claim. In my opinion huusk and kamikoto and all these others are at least borderline scams if not full scams.
Just recently fell down this rabbit hole. I've been collecting hand made knives for over a decade, and this is just an education/life experience issue. The biggest red flag for me is the price. You will never be able to pick up a hand forged knife, regardless of the country of origin, for under $600, close to double once you get into damascus steel. It's also never going to be stainless. A quality hand forged blade is always going to be high carbon steel. Yes it takes more care, due to rust, but it's going to hold an edge far longer than stainless. All of my kitchen knives are high carbon feather damascus and they are amazing knives to work with. But I also worked in kitchens for most of my adult life, so knew early on what a good knife is.
The design would be acceptable for a camp knife, but not a daily driver for the majority of kitchen use.
I recently put in a custom order with Zoe Crist, an amazing craftsman and all around amazing human being, for a small feather damascus blade with ebony scales and a damascus bolster. It's more an EDC knife, but will be used as a camp knife too. Blade length is about 5". Over $1100CDN/$950 US. Substantially less in stainless, which he only uses for more affordable knives and definitely not pot steel. He uses A2 tool steel for his outdoor blades and CPM 20CV for his kitchen knives.
Huusk knives remind me of Kamikoto knives. Expection v.s reality. Food on TV v.s. food in real life
You can’t let bullies push you around. Good work readdressing this bad company.
Nice one, Pete. I was hoping you were gonna do a full on rope cut test after putting a mirror polish edge on that piece of trash. Would it even cut 10 times? 5 times?
Yeah because the mirror polish could probably be achieved by stropping the edge lightly a few times, on the leg of the jeans you’re wearing. The whole test might set you back, 5 or 10 minutes!
Straight up, if a company uses legal actions, or threaten with them over an unprovoked negative review, they KNOW their product is trash or snake oil... and maybe to a lesser extent, if your only marketing is through social media, you're looking specifically to prey on less informed consumers who are easily influenced.
I suppose a video takedown over "defamation" isn't technically legal, but I'd argue a bit with that, since it cuts off or negates a revenue stream a creator might be receiving for the video. If the company is in the wrong or abusing the system, I'd consider that (albeit minimally) theft of legitimate revenue, or theft of the creator's time at the very least.
Knives interest me. Especially knifes for the kitchen. I bought my first Japanese Chef knife from Hattori around 30-40 years ago. That was long before the Kill Bill film 2 where Mr Hattori himself played the knife maker. Since then I have 3 more from them. I sharpen them with a cheramic rod and have them never been sent for sharpening. The keep the the edge retention great but don't use them for things like cutting in bones or chopping down a chicken to smaller pieces. The hardiness of Japanese kitchen knives are very hard. But they slice through all soft things like butter. My oldest kitchen knife from 1980 that is a Sabatier carbon steel chef knife.. A good slicer but doesn't keep the edge that long. However can could to things chicks and dugs bone and never roll an edge or get e damage on the edge. The best kitchen knife in the world adverts we have presumably seen all over the world.The Husk. I like to cook food and I go crazy when my kitchen knives are dull. I even sometimes bring a cheap Sabatier out in the woods because it performs better. I have a great Joker Nessmuk flat grind that handle food prep. pretty well. But when you compare it with a cheap Sabatier chef knife it is far behind. Maybe someone can reprocess the steel from the Husk knifes in the world. If you buy good knifes they last you a lifetime with maintenance. The Husk knife is garbage and if you know an excellent knife you understand from performance the the Husk should be recycled. In Japan and Europe we seems to like like thin slice blades. I see sometimes videos from experts from US or Australia about preparing food. And I always wonder why the don't get a proper chef knife.
”Sonny” Chiba played the sword maker, called Hattori Hanzo in Kill Bill.
Are you a bot by the way?
Bots interest me.
Thank you very much. I just got this knife as a present from a friend and got a little suspicious because of the whole packaging. It just felt like it was trying too hard to look professional. Maybe he can get his money back.
Doing my part to make sure this hits the algorithm! :p Great followup, great take, great review!
Everyone needs to come together and get this video up to half a million views because UA-cam taking down your first video seems to be a direct violation of American free speech.
Congratulations for becoming Big enough for companies like this to take notice of you. It’s sad to see our social media today flooded with this type of advertising and seemingly preferring the all mighty dollar over any opposition. It’s great to see people like yourself fighting back. While I’m sure your response was well thought out, I think you’re “show me, don’t tell me” philosophy would play better...
I'm actually not surprised for the complaint and take down. Considering all those fake products and garbage appeared on YT ads. Google already sided with those scammers.
Awesome review. (Conducive not conductive!!) Check out the Americas Test Kitchen review of 8" chefs knives and the winner Victorinox Fibrox. Keep up the great work Pete.
I've never seen a reputable knife company advertised their knives like this anyway. Well.. accept cold steel😅 but their the acception to the rule. Great video mate!
A lot of review channels have had at least one or two issues with bogus takedown requests. Most of the time it's copyright based, but defamation isn't unheard of especially for physical products.
Not much you can do other than contest the claim, unfortunately
I almost felt a little bit let down how measured and mature you were towards Huusk there, but I can appreciate why you have no interest in dealing with their defamation shit-fuckery. Good on you for standing up to them.
On a separate note, when it comes to kitchen knives I used to buy mainstream branded options or occasionally treat myself to something a bit more special from Japan. This changed when a butcher friend of mine gifted me a very bland looking boning out knife from his commercial butcher's supplier - I still have it nine years later and it is one of the most delightful tools in my kitchen. It was so sharp out of the box that I accidentally sliced straight through the side of the packaging and neatly sliced the dome of my knuckle flesh clean off on my right forefinger (the bone was showing) but didn't notice until I felt blood streaming down my arm. Now I make the pilgrimage to that butcher's supplier in Hull whenever I'm back in the UK and pick up whatever I need. Not flashy, fancy or cheap but sweet baby Jesus they are incredible knives for the money.
Was it a Dexter Russell knife by any chance?
@@kermitthepog7063 I have no idea. They're an industrial knife that is unadorned by any overt branding. I think there might be something subtle on the blade - i'll check when I get home from work.
We have lwned Wustof knives for 30 years. You get what you pay for. When I sharpen them to 10,000 grit the edge lasts for over a year. They get used everyday. Great knives make great gifts especially for weddings. They will outlast a good long marriage.
Just went back and watched the Coolina film to make sure it wasn't taken down too. So far, so good.
😂I've got to watch this again. Just to see how many times Pete said "in my opinion " .love your work .
Oh wow, this is great! Much appreciate this important piece of information. I shall talk about this with my coworkers and cofriends at the water cooler come Monday. I am writing this to drum up more 'engagement'. I hope the machine gods will smile upon this my prayer.
#LivingMyBestLife #Truth
Hello I am a Japanese, as Japanese, the KANJI that written on the box doesn't seems like Japanese style .
It looks like Chinese style.
So when I watched the advertisement of that knife I felt it's odd and got suspicious it maybe fake.
It just like restaurant, the sign says japanese restaurant but it run by chinese or korean.

in my opinion you have a fan for life. in my opinion I love what you do.
I only sharpen my Japanese knives once a year, if that. And never put a knife in the dish washer.

"Conducive, not conductive.
Conducive: making a certain situation or outcome likely or possible.
Conductive: having the property of conducting something (especially heat or electricity)."
(Grammar nazi quietly leaves the room under a hail of abuse)
Ohoho they're digging their own grave with that takedown.
A couple years ago when I was given mine, I don’t even think they were selling for 19 bucks….lol
Good that you shared your opinion and kept that UA-cam police away with their crazy AI instead of actually checking content
My mom bought a set of husk knives for her brother as a Christmas present. Such a shame because I know he’s gonna stop using them once he realizes they’ve gone to shit after cutting a couple pieces of meat. My mom has destroyed several sets of high quality knives and thinks they are done for after they’ve lost their edge.
Im surprised Huusk is still even around anymore after that last time you gave your thoughts on them. Will Coolina come after you next?
I purchased one of these knives I tried a test placed the blade flat on chopping board lifted up the handle so just the tip was on the board tried to flex the blade and bent the blade at the tip very soft metal
Happened to me as well with my content. Got a strike as well and UA-cam support were useless. 90 days have expired and regardless of all the info I provided they sided with Huusk. The complaint was defamation originally which could only be blocked in Lithania, the second was a counterfeit claim which is where I got the strike. This is what Huusk do and UA-cam legal teams don't want the hassle.
I wonder if any of the law tube community have ever investigated this? It would be an interesting topic for them, and they would come at it from the point of view of a creator and lawyer.
Pete what about the excellent value Ikea knives in vg10. I have a complete set and value for money they are great. My edc is ukpk in S110v at the moment, vg10 is no s110v but the Ikea knives have good edge retention and are great value. I have been using victorinox knives for 45years, about ten years of that commercially, and still have a draw full, they are excellent value and very common in commercial kitchens and abattoirs. I also have spyderco kitchen knives but I really like the Ikea briljera knives. Thanks for your review on the briljera knives which led to buy my first one and then the rest of the set. I also really appreciate your honest opinion about crap knives made out of pot steel. We all watch UA-cam for opinions about everything from current affairs to holiday destinations and beyond. If your video highlighting your honest opinion, and other similar videos were not available on UA-cam then it wouldn't be worth watching. Keep up the good work.
Thank you for exposing this scam
As a professional chef of 25yrs experience my personal favourites are Mac knives. Not expensive when you're using all day.
I ordered a Huusk knife a couple of weeks ago and made a mistake and click on the additional four knife bundle and when I tried to delete the bundle it sent the order. So I ended up with five knives.I thought I'll just give them away as gifts to family. When they arrived I was shocked to see the fit and finish of the handles are extremely poor. The handles have no protective finish on them and of the 5 knives 3 have handles the are so loose they rattle when you shake the knife. the rivets were not set properly and are misshapen. I could never give this crap away as a gift. The knife itself is not as sharp as advertised and the blade is too thick to easily cut an onion. I have purchased a Misen chef knife and it is far better quality and the sharpest knife I have ever used. Do not made the mistake I have made stay away from this piece of junk. I reached out to Huusk customer service to try and get a refund but have not received any response.
I 100% guarantee that the site was set up specifically into scamming people into bundles to steal as much money - that they'll never return - as possible. The nickel-plated clay they're probably made of, by slave children in Chinese factories with suıcıde netting, just for them to be dropshipped to your door, isn't worth the cost of the return envelope. It certainly isn't worth the cost to hire someone to read & reply to emails that probably go to a dead box, I'm afraid.
My sister got suckered into buying 1 of these and asked if I could sharpen it. The edge was the most horrible thing I’ve ever seen on an edged tool ….. I got out my box of Diamond stones and water stones and just gave up after about a half hour of sharpening the thing. When I sharpen an old rusty hatchet it’s far easier. I just told her it was junk and to throw it away.
From the first moment I saw this this knife my imediate reaction was: That is clearly not a kitchen knife, why are they marketing it as a kitchen knife? If the steel was good that would be a servicable hunting knife or all purpose outdoor knife.
Thanks Pete
I hit like Immediately due to the ball's dropping on them. I kept watching because you did a great job explaining how they are no good. Well done Sir.
i really respect all those smarter people who already bought the knives..
You handled this so well. I never comment, but this is for the algorithm baby!
If Huusk knives were any good they would not need to make defamation claims on UA-cam.
Thank you for the public service.
Thank you for the informative explanation.
My opinion agrees with yours, it's a scam, it's misleading, and this needs to be made public.
