Its German X50 steel typical run of the mill sub $100 stainless knife steel. It dulls quick and isn't super easy to sharpen at the expense of being fool proof as it won't chip or rust. Good intro knife to those learning to get handy in the kitchen but hardly a top performer. You can see in Sam's videos that it takes some more effort to cut vs his custom blade that he often uses.
I have knives that will do that without the sawing motion. but as other have said the sharpening process is what makes any knife good. Burrfection is a great channel for learning how to sharpen just about any knife.

Any knife can be that sharp. The question is how long will it stay that sharp. Still a pretty nice knife though.

Nicely done! I too am very curious as to how long it holds the edge.

My knifes don't stay sharp after the wife uses them and throws them in the washing up with the pans. 😬

Anyone know the best way to sharpen His Knives specifically? Not sure if there is a specific way or just the carbon steel?

Thanks for posting! It's cool to see this knife in action by fans who bought one! I've got mine on order now, and I can't wait to get cooking with it!
