Post what you got anons. Received this "premium control" knife from my grandparents, I think they got swindled.
>>21798190why does the edge of that blade already appear dulled and, well, ruined?pics need to be supplied for additional closer inspection anon
>>21798190>Inspired by japanese knife traditionsAnd you come out with that??
>>21798190Handle in the style of the shittiest steak knives lmao
Giving a knife is bad luckthey should take it back
>>21798197second thing, why does the wood appear so unfinished and rough, as if both the front and back of the wood handle look like they've been smashed / dinged upwtf is going on with that knife OP
This is a meme knife advertised on TikTok that’s useless for cooking. Was really popular about 2 years ago. Friend of mine got one and it’s shit. Edge profile is garbage for chopping due to its curvature, blade is ridiculously thick, and the finger hole is both rough and harsh and doesn’t work unless your hand is a specific size. For only a few dollars more you could get a nice gyuto or santoku that’s actually made by real Japanese knifemakers.
>>21798190>matsato>huusk goes by many brand names, shilled on social mediapoor grandparents got scammed by ads
>>21798190Holy shit it's the knife from those fucking scam Instagram ads! I need to know how bad it is OP. "Cryohardened" edge they say
>>21798190that's an ancient klingon m'k leth, treat it with respect hughmahn
>>21798190I got one of those for free. It was fine and kinda nice for hacking up chicken and shit. I wouldn't pay more than 40$ for one though
My future wife got me a sweet caste iron pan
>>21798652What if she dies before the wedding
It will be tested this afternoon carving up Prime rib.
>>21798653Then I develop a severe alcohol addiction and follow her
>>21798190Amazon trash
>>21798655Based
Smooth grips are garbage. A knife should be usable with oiled hands, otherwise it is FUCKING USELESS.
>>21798840what kind of no grip limp wrist pussy are you?
>>21798190>话Dead giveaway.Sorry for your loss, OP.
>>21798245Really?
>>21798190My folks got kinda ripped off on a knife for me too, bought a hunting/fishing knife from a friend who's a "knifemaker" but at most I think he just did the handles and sheath (which is also left-handed for some reason), the blade is an off the shelf one that says "Pakistan" right on it.
>>21798190Is the hole in the middle for spinning it around your finger like a cowboy?
>>21799192>around your fingerno, try again
>>21799187>breedlovenice.
>>21799196pffft, pussy
>>21799201Yeah, I got it from their factory sale, since I live pretty close. It's an import model but I really like it so far, paid $400 and it's way nicer than the entry-level Taylors and Martins I've tried.
I got one of these, what am I in for
>>21799224nasty watery coffee
>>21799225So it's just normal coffee
>>21799227No, worse actually. The grounds don't have enough time sitting in the water to brew properly and it ends up not tasting as good.
>>21799227no, poorover is not normal coffee
>>21799171Nta, but my father says the same. You should have them return it or you symbolically buy it from them (i.e. Pay them 1¢ for it). Considering it's a bad knife they might as well return it.
>>21799252I know there's a special way to brew it, but is it that bad
>>21798840What are you cutting while greased up?
>>21799570MEAT
>>21798190I received a pizza cutter from my mom
>>21798197>>21798336someone is jealous :)
I got two deluxe edition signed limited hardbooks
>>21798190Looks like hot trash
>>21798190OP if you try to murder me with your gay japan knife I will literally pepper spray you in the face and shoot you
>>21798459>>21798641looks like one of those coolina knives spammed all over facebook with the fat rapey looking homosexual advertising them
>>21799187oh wow you have a guitaryou must be so interesting
>>21798190I've been getting ads for those things on YT for years whenever Google figures out how to get past my adblockers, they're a manosphere tacticool version of the old "it can cut a can then slice a tomato" knife commercials that used to play late at night.>>21799187That's really common, you used to see tables with "handmade" knives at gun shows and you'd see like 3 of the same "handmade" knife on different tables at the same show. The modern equivalent is selling "handmade" stuff on Etsy/Amazon/etc. I can practically guarantee the sheath is from the internet and there's a good chance that the scales came with the knife if not already on it. Frankly I'd reconsider how much I trust that friend. Do you know how much they paid for it?
>>21800348it was my main Christmas present to myself>>21800361>Do you know how much they paid for it?Way too much, enough to get a very decent production knife. The guy is my parents' good friend's boyfriend, but not close himself. I have, for what it's worth, talked knifemaking with him before and he mentioned putting handles on blanks so I assume that's the deal, especially because the scales are noticeably nicer than what I'd expect for the blade - I've seen those show booths so I know what you typically get.
got a Brita water filter, herbal tea, Dots honey mustard pretzels, peanuts, two bags of coffee, swiss miss, chocolate stirring spoons, a spice rack (although garlic is missing for some reason) and a coffee bean grinder
>>21798190my uncle fell for this meme and got me one of these. the blade's sharp enough right now, but most new knives are.what's the hole for? i tried putting my finger in it and it had jagged edges that could definitely draw blood if i used it long enough. my uncle says it's for hanging it somewhere. i thouth it'd be for control since the handle is pretty thin and flimsy
>>21800988>I thought it'd be for controlAnd you'd be right. You sometimes see it on /k/ and /out/ knives and that's the image they're trying to present which is why their marketing is "bad ass" and rugged guys with beards, at least from what I've seen. Hell, someone mentioned Coolina Knives earlier ITT and that's a name I haven't yet seen these knives marketed under so I went to their site and I'm seeing stuff that looks like copies of common mallninja shit presented as kitchen knives. They also definitely used to sell the knife in OP's pic, it's in some of their pics but no longer on their site. Those things seem to be sold under like half a dozen names, I had no idea this was so widespread.
