That $159 knife is waaaaaaaaay nicer and waaaaay more worth it than the $800 one.
Nathan Carrille I know. I don’t understand why everyone wants to pay 800$ for a knife make from scrap. As a knife maker I could make the exact same product as her and I wouldn’t sell it for more than 150$ maximum. If I pay 800$ for a knife I want one made from new steel and probably from Damascus.
Hipsters ruin everything
White girl tends to overvalue their products, in Japan $800 usd could get you a blue steel knife crafted by a legendary blacksmith.

Actually for $159, you can get a hand forged knife made by a Japanese smith. Look at Japanese Knife Imports or Chef Knives to Go.

She made a knife from a piece of scrap metal. No forge, no tempering/ Damascus patterns, nothing that you’d expect from a standard knife making process. Just a plasma cutter, a bench grinder, and a belt sander. $800??? Think of what that means relative to the Japanese knife too. That means it’s literally six times more expensive than the Japanese knife. Now I don’t know about anybody else, but if someone offered me a horse rasp knife clearly made in someone’s backyard vs. 6 super high quality Japanese made kitchen knives, it’s not even a question about what I’d choose.
Cool video though.
Ikr "hey look at this barely high carbon steel that's super used and has a ton of stresses, you know what's that great for? Knives"
Supply and demand I guess. I would never pay $800 for a knife like that, but it looks interesting and if people are willing to pay for it - then that's on them.
@@temlan3042 Virtually everything you said is wrong and/or irrelevant. Farrier's rasps are extremely hard - I know, I've ground a few, in fact I've got 3 sitting here - SaveEdge, BlackMaster, and a Heller. Definitely over 60-61 HRC - so they're certainly high carbon steel. Much talk on BladeForums about that. They also agree (as do I!) they don't make great knives, at least not chef knives - but not for THAT reason, OR your others for that matter. So what if it's used, and/or "has a ton of stresses" (which I kind of doubt, but doesn't matter anyhow)? She DOES heat treat them -- you, CookerSeven4 and a bunch of other folks here just assumed she doesn't because it wasn't in THIS video - but you dint KNOW, didja. (Look on her website under Video, e.g. the Budweiser video at 1:33). AGAIN - I'm not a big fan of her knives, and I'm not saying they're great - I'm just saying that most of the dissing here of her knives is pretty amateur armchair criticism from people who don't know what they're talking about.
OMG exactly!!
Also not a massive fan of that knife, but I feel I should point out that some of the top handmade Japanese knives are literally made in the creator's back yard. Some of these guys don't make very much money at all. I think the thing is that you can buy a ridiculously good factory made knife in Japan for about $100 US. It will last you your entire life if you take care of it. In terms of utility, spending more won't get you a better knife, though people always have their preferences. If you buy a handmade knife, the money is going to the craft person. It's a piece of art. They have a limit to how many they can make in a year and so have to charge more. Whether or not it's worth it to you depends on how much it speaks to you. Again, if you think of it as a 1 time only lifetime purchase, probably any good knife you can buy is worth the price.
When they cut that onion with the $800 knife it didnt go through easily.
Probably the most dangerous knife out of all of them.

I remember hearing a quote from a long time ago. “A smith can go to hell for two reasons; for hitting cold iron and and for not charging enough.” This is the perfect example of someone who should probably go to hell for scamming people out of hard made cash.

Ah, I see...
You’re a person of culture as well...
What about his watering cow
I like his video where he rehabs a rusty knife and then buys one at a dollar store. My knives are nothing special. They're ultra cheap Seki Ryu knives that I got on clearance. I learned how to sharpen them and the Korin videos are pretty good and so is Jun's. My sharpness test is similar to Korin's but I have to sharpen mine more often than a really good knife.
I used to work on knives actually! Chelsea is scamming you guys, I wouldn’t charge that much for a knife unless it was made from high quality materials. Let alone a horseshoe grinder, I’m not even sure if she tempered those knives or not. Korin is absolutely the way to go in terms of value here.
Not to mention she didn't even make the effort to at least re-forge them into a regular knife blade, its an insanely cheap, low quality knife that she made out of the scraps of her father's yard.
Actually one of the advantages with using a rasp or file is that you don't have to temper it, if you know what you're doing... She obviously doesn't, she ruined the temper with the plasma cutter, but still.. 🥲😂
I can easily get to the Korin store myself so I may consider going there just to visit. Of course, I myself use cheap af knives from Mercer.
On her site, she says the blades are heat treated..
@@phillipvansickle4220 I was going by what I saw in the video at the time, and she may have started heat treating them now but this video is old lmao.
$800 for a knife made via stock removal?
What a rip off.
There’s plenty of blacksmiths that make great forged knives for half that much.
Also Rie is totally the most worth it thing in this video!
$800 for a re-purposed horseshoe grinder....
re using the metal isnt the bad part, the bad part is that she doesnt work it out to make a piece of art... man, even legendary knife smiths doesnt charge that much on their knifes
Danilo Espinoza Pino I knifesmith would probably charge like 80$.
Her process was messy and didn’t put any time. It was just a knife.
@@hazardous458 indeed
Danilo Espinoza Pino Knives that cost that much are usually art pieces that look spectacular, a lot of craftsmanship and good quality materials.
@@daniloespinozapino4865 I dunno I think my great uncle Dwight Towell's "knives"(daggers) went for around that price range. But then those are acid etched blades, with stone and/or gold inlaid handles and are actual pieces of fine craftsmanship.
that $800 knife was straight disrespect
@Zhenjun Wang A knife is a tool, and apparently she is too.
the lady is softening (annealing) her knife when she uses bench grinder and belt sanders to sharpen her knife. There is a reason the japanese use waterstones to sharpen their blade is to keep them cool while sharpening.
@@Ken-nv2hl That is not entirely true. They use water and oil stones to achieve the best abrasion properties of the whole sharpening process. It also keeps the knives cooled as well.
Yes, the hipster has no idea what is going metallurgically by judging the way she sharpens those "onion files"
@@Ken-nv2hl You do understand that knife was also sharpened on a wetstone right? You should do some research into the making of knives. Lot's of cool vids on youtube.
@@willem2099 Please show me when she said that she used one. Whetstone and waterstones are the same thing.

I'm with you there, bro! Ree-freaking-diculous!

I’m trading a hand made high carbon steel knife for some deer antler
@Daniel S. Wow. You know enough to identify 1095 steel (which is what is commonly used in good files and rasps) but then you call it a "low carbon steel"?! You are showing a bit of ignorance - 1095 is actually a high carbon steel and considered an excellent choice for cutlery (if you are going non-stainless).
There are other issues (in my opinion) with the $800 Chelsea Miller custom, but the choice of steel is not one of them.
Yeah, in the grand scheme of steel, "low carbon" steels are practically useless for making knives or other tools. From my understanding, a low carbon steel won't even harden properly and even the cheapest knives are technically made from "high carbon" steel.
"People want a handmade knife so they know what went into the process from start to finish"
Proceeds to grind on materials that are made decades ago.
I know right? Like The only thing she does is cut and grind. You can do it too with a youtube tutorial and a bit of practice
I make knifes and that’s how most hand made knifes are made or they are forged but people who make a lot of knifes quickly will cut them out with a NCN or water jet and then have the bevels ground etc anyway a lot of people use recycled materials to make knifes because it’s much cheaper and better for the planet
@@georgeporter1295 nothing wrong with stock removal, but her grinds are absolute dogwater. I mean genuinely awful, I’d give her a B - in a high school shop class for that work
if want handmade cheap but perfect good knife travel to chinese and search some knife shop then know how cheap all have here, europe same knifes cost 200 x more. someone thief lot money idiot buy knifes . cheapen have fly japan or chinese and go buy good knifes in shop. less than 200$ can buy ALL knife set and lot better guality handmade have than all europe seller ower price 500-800$ knifes. idiot waste money knife lot, 10$ knife can cut all what kitchen need cut. why waste 800$ knife ??? only idiot can.
the $800 hipster knife is insanely overpriced.
Aubrey Berry I know right
It's made by a wamen ! Thinking it's overpriced is misoginy !
@@phyllishahart6111 She's actually old news around knife/blade forums. Spectacular rubbish her knives are. Her whole marketing package back in 2015(?) or so was 'i am female blacksmith'. Therefore it justifies her pricing. The technical breakdown of everything's that's lacking at that price point have already been argued over and settled.
There's a number of female custom knife smiths out there and some are charging similar prices for much smaller fold-able knives ie. Judy Gottage where last search could set you back by as much as 700 dollars. But none have drawn any ire whatsoever as opposed to this person selling scrap metal to fools.

Also, wouldn't high carbon steel like the one in a horseshoe filer be pretty terrible for a knife blade because those tend to be brittle which means a knife that is more likely to microfracture and lose it edge?

Yeah it's kind of a shame to spend that much on a knife made of junk steel if you're planning to use it in the kitchen... more of a decorative piece than anything. Knives made from aogami super can be had for well under $200 and will take and hold an edge far better. I'm guessing that the middle knife in this video was easily the best performer here.

"Sharp knives don't make you cry"
It's like fierce phrase said by badass medieval bandit
It is easier to scam people than convince people that they are scammed. I’ve been scammed before too buying knife on amazon. Strictly talking about Chelsea Miller knife, let’s talk design not just steel. This knife would grate all my ingredients to a pulp with all juices run all over the cutting board. It’s like a food processor except has no place in the kitchen. I would not pay $10 for it unless am looking to give my horse 1 last pedicure right before I stab it to death. The point of a knife is to cut food so cleanly to preserve the essence of the ingredient, avoid destroying/crushing as much tissue as possible so the flavor is preserved and not all over the cutting board. And the knife with a good steel good tempering would hold it a edge for days or weeks before needing touch up. What’s kind of steel or heat treatment do these horse rasps have? There are laser cut knife non forged knife but they still heat treat/ temper it after because cutting the steel and grind it subject it to unnecessary heat that requires the steel to be tempered so the steel is tougher/ less brittle but retain its edge longer. Like baking, It is a very precise and controlled process. Even large manufacturers have trouble, i.e some have better heat treatments than others. She did none of that process. The horse rasp probably made from tool steel which is a decent option for knife if forge/heat treat correctly, except it rust and will requires extra care comparing to stainless alloy, I can go in depth with the tried and true stainless or carbon steel but too much. How you even clean the knife probably with all the nooks and crannies it have on the sides, room for bacteria to get in and be imparted in your food and moisture the remain and rust the knife. There is much more I can say but it will become an essay.
"1 last pedicure before I stab it to death" lol

Seriously, horseshoe filing steel? What the hell is that, expensive knives from high end companies like miyabi and wusthoff have millions of dollars of r&d put into their steel to sell it for 200$. Just grabbing scrap steel lying around is not how you make an expensive knife.
Theres no attention to the composition of the steel, it's not forged, the tempering process is just half assed. What a crappy overpriced knife.
dos Santos not to mention the material she use is crap, Japanese knife would be using high end white or blue steel knife and be like ¥30000 ($300) at most
Right! Where is the heating process, the bevel forming, and the quenching?
Seriously. For 800 bucks it better be forged Damascus and purpleheart handle with a full flat grind and drop point sharpened to 10,000 grit.
She's actually pretty smart IMO. She's riding on the current "repurpose" trends hence made a business out of it. From the metal to even the wood, everything was more or less garbage and remade for hipsters to froth over. I wouldn't be surprised in the next year, the handles will be made of ocean plastics to ride on that trend.
It was never about the knife quality, since the customer that will be buying it rarely cooks, more about being trendy

I guess it's just a hazard of the free market, because a rising tide raises all ships people like Miller have the same opportunity to find a market as all the dedicated knife makers and blade smiths out there who are slaving away in their forges or experimenting to get better and better heat treatment with modern steels. If some fools in Brooklyn want to waste $800 hopefully people with more sense will still be able to get functional knives from real artists, usually for cheaper.

I can confirm that any expensive knife I work with feels so much better, it's hard to explain to someone the feel of a good knife vs a cheap knife, the feel of a good knife is orgasmic the balance thr sharpness generally just a really good feel, my school I went to my chef had a few knives that were roughly $200-$400 ea and were just top tier feel especially compared to our $200 knife kit knives or the $50 ea class knives
that 800 knife is bogus... Not even forged... Just stock removal. You can get so much better for eve cheaper almost anywhere
the $159 Knife was a better knife in literally every aspect than the $800 one. Imagine the bacterial growth in all these little holes from the rasp
That 800 dollar knife was garbage. Just cutting steel and putting a handle on it. U could tell itvwasnt even that sharp when they tried to cut the onion lol
@@ruben247 Exactly! Must be such a pain to clean everytime!
Forging the metal for a knife stresses the metal, hence the tempering aspect of the forging process to allow the structure of the metal to conform causing it to have better hardness and toughness. The more you mess with the metal temperature (hence cutting out of steal instead of forging) the more likely the structure will be less uniform. So unless you are and word class blacksmith with the highest degree of extremely expensive tools it is almost always better to cut out the knife from high quality steel. But I do agree the $800 price tag is not even close to being what it should be sold for because she doesn't seem like a world class blacksmith with world class tools.
It's not a knife for the masses. It's for with too much money and want their friends to ask about their knife so they can tell the story about. Literally exactly what she said they're for. It's the same market as people buying that goop nonsense.
"Everybody needs a Rie in their life"
That's some of the realest sh*t I've heard someone say in my life.
Japanese knives just cuts so smooth. I've spent 200 on an atmuthentic Japanese knife and I've been using that same knife for ten years.
Honestly this show has just proved that keeping life at a medium is the best.
It reminds me of jun sharpening his knives like a pro
How's Jun?
@@sherinevictoria Jun's doing great lol
@@aki9530 lolol 😂 I meant Who 🤦♀️
Is it just me but after Jun cleaned and sharpened the knife I just felt satisfied
@@sherinevictoria Search up Jun's kitchen. Be prepared to be fascinated
The woman in the bamboo one looks so happy just look at that beautiful smile
💋 Reminds me of ME
7:54 I hope Steven's new cooking show would look something like that, love Steven's smile btw.
I just watch this to know where Lady (rie's knife) is having Spa day
The voice of the guy from totally bamboo tho
2:01 - 2:09 feels like I was watching a historical documentary
Ofc you bring Rie, she said she loves knifes in make it fancy 😂😂
I remember the “you bring your own knife?”
“You don’t?” 😂😂
That’s why I clicked on this! “I brought my own knife, don’t you?”
I'm probably not the only one, but Rie reminds me of the woman in Ratatouille.
She dressed up as that for this Halloween
Rie is so anxious with how he was waving the knife around 😂😂😂
I loved Rie being afraid of standing close to Steven while he's holding a knife. She is very wise
Rie's visible anxiety when Steven was talking and holding the Japanese knife is my anxiety at all times.
Gj youre special
@@Green-pq2jk Good job, you're a dick
@@alexiswiggins7224 Triggered😂😂
Investing in a good knife is life changing. Cooking becomes a joy instead of a chore, and it’ll last your lifetime. A rare one of my young adult life purchases I don’t regret👍🏼
Got my hopes up not gonna lie was expecting way more work put into the $800 knife.
Saaaaaaame
I expect a golden knife with black truffle hilt.
There *is* a lot more work that goes into her knives, but this wasn't a tutorial on knife making. TBH for that kind of money I too would prefer a Murray Carter or equivalent, but Mario Batali has said he covets her work, so good for her.
I think this had less to do with finding the ultimate knife and more to do with BuzzFeed's budget. Oh Hey, while we're in NYC, lets talk to this one person who makes expensive knives. Instead of flying someone to Germany or Japan or any other bonafide knife maker.
That $800 knife is a joke. There's no metallurgy or forging technique. Give me a real master bladesmith.
My thoughts exactly. Overpriced.
@@TheMisterPvp
😁 People that pay THAT are idiots
Should have put ilya's work from awe me
Bob Kramer all the way
@@gedeyogam9096 you could maybe even get it engraved by him
No way, the random dude who doesn’t know anything about knives can also grind just as good as Chelsea. Really shows how good of a “blacksmith” she is
You mean Steven? He was doing a horizontal hollow grind of sorts, while Chelsea’s footage seemed to show a linear grind. Just gonna say this outright, the way she taught Steven to grip the knife is more unstable than a college student’s finances. That jittering on the blade was terrifying. The back end of the knife must be braced by the off hand in such a way that it’s like you’re holding a loose fist with your thumb over the side of your index finger (like you’re handing your boss a piece of paper with one hand). Keeping your fingers as far from the grinder as possible is a recipe for an unstable grip on the knife and therefore an unstable grind. Her grind is admittedly more stable than Steven’s, but her grip is still absolutely terrifying.
@@adlirez her grinding technique is the stupidest thing i have ever seen, the plunge lines are non-existent so she cant do flat grinds and none of her lines are gonna be straight at all. I'm a knifemaker and i can confidently say that my first knife looks very similar to her work. id value her knives at around $60 but honestly, i wouldn't sell that crap to anyone
@@leostraker3494 bruhhhhhhh I’m glad I’m not alone with that analysis, and from an actual knife maker! Glad everyone agrees that Chelsea’s knife is bust.
4:29 - “In the medieval age, people ate their daggers.”😂😂
Bleeps out YoYo Ma's name. Perfectly describes him anyway
Why did they bleep it out?
I thought they were being sarcastic with the descriptions.

Worlds greatest cellist
Maybe they meant one of the other famous Asian cellists.
5:00 Rie definitely said that she sold the knife to Yo Yo Ma, one of the greatest cellists of all time.
Daniel Park ikr
Why did they censor it?
Kyle Jharry Santos it’s illegal to make transactions Public
Ohhh thank you!
Kyle Jharry Santos no prob 😀
In the medieval age, people ATE their daggers. You know, just chuck them in their mouths.
If anyone was wondering, the reason non-metal lettuce knives are a thing is because the ph level of lettuce will cause it to react to the metal in certain knives and cause oxidation in the knife and browning in the lettuce
This 800$ "knife" is an insult to every knife maker. 800$ can get you a custom chef knife out of highest end steels if we talk stock removal or blades forged by a master like Murray Carter. Should have visited Murray Carter instead. ...this "knife" has poor geometry, the rasp pattern can trap food (hygiene issue!!) and I wonder if the "'blade" has even been heat treated...
Yeah only people who know nothing about knives will buy that. Any professional chef will go with Japanese knives or Macs/Wusthof/Zwilling.
@@Ben-kp1dh Yeah man; japanese knives all the way imho. Maybe Wüsthoff for big kitchens. 800$ Can get you either a VERY fancy japanese knife or an entire Wüsthoff block, fine cutting board and an apron lol.
@@Ben-kp1dh I'm a pro chef and I'm seriously considering a Chelsea Miller Knife, just because of how much it triggers you guys.
@@raizumichin I too have 800 dollars lying around. Might as well buy a leather case for 130 USD. Add in that 2 weeks delivery for 400 USD. Over 1300 USD for just a knife and leather saya. LOL. And its not even a good knife.
Thing is that rasp was rusted, that means the knife will rust if it touches salt, vinegar or if it's not dried fast enough
Tom (co-owner of Totaly Bamboo) should start reading audio books or do ASMR.
He sounds like Daddy Bob Ross.
Joe Dick gah why is there always people like you in the comments?
@Joe Dick why tf you want to kill someone
I have a set of Sabatier and Henkel in my kitchen. I have cooked for 50yrs and DO NOT work with dull knives. My blades are all SHARP and cooking is a pleasure. I go to friends kitchens and invariably they are cooking with dull knives. Always you can see shiny spots on the blades and I will sharpen them before I use them. Some water and the bottom of a ceramic mug will do as a wet stone.
"the way you're holding knife scares me".. Rie's motherly Instinct kicks in 😂
$800 for a recycled piece? Too expensive. Better get a Shun, cheaper, has lifetime warranty and lifetime sharpening.
Preach
Honesty, shun is over-priced as well.
Dain McIlroy not their forged ones
Yeah, Shun is also overpriced. The steel they use at the price point they sell is quite the ripoff.
Wusthof is a great brand and really well priced! I know they’re German blades and not as thin as Shun or Miyabi but they’re really good and they’ll last you forever!
'My name is Chelsea Miller and I'm a scammer'
What a fun and informative video thank you. You are sweet folks. Love to get Rie’s thought on my expensive vast knife collection
My worth it winner, is Victorinox restaurant knives. $30 give or take gets you comfortable, utilitarian, and sharp knives. So cheap even if you break one or don't want to bother sharpening them you can replace them without any pain.

Yo-yo ma? HAHA
Caroline Chrislie thought the same:)
Right? I was like why bother bleeping. :)
Ok I dont get it lol
The least subtle name drop.
rie sold a knife that now belongs to yo-yo ma.
what a legend
Damn the way Rie say knife fact is so cutely satisfying I love her smile
i don't really want to share my opinion about chelsea's knife, cuz it saddens me a bit, to see someone overprice a cut hand grinder that much, but i do want to talk about korin's knife, i recently bought a japanese gyuto knife, and it's incredible, how every detail is there on purpouse, for example, there's no edge line in my knife, it goes all the way to back of the knife, making the cut silkier, or how the hexagonal handle is made so it's easier to hold with the fingers on the blade, or the fact that the point of the knife is thinner than the base, close to the handle i mean, there's just so many details that make the knife unique and really worth it's value, that just doesn't leave space for questions.
It bothers me that this knife is being pretended as what a 800 knife looks like which is basically a scam. Look up Maumasi knives or Haburn Knives for some actually high end kitchen knives to see that they are actually worth it. This looks like a school workshop project
