So Huusk basically did a sprint run of an actual knife 😂. You can't make up a plot twist this good. Also I love how this is pretty much a docu-series at this point.

I watched this video while taking a Huusk this morning. I find that getting enough fiber in my diet helps me Huusk regularly, but sometimes after a particularly big Huusk, I have to use the plunger, and leave the bathroom fan on for a good 30 mins while warning everyone in the house to stay away until the Huusk fumes have ventilated.

Blink twice if they're holding you against your will!

Pete, you do realise that you're their best repeat customer right? You've lived long enough to become the villain.

I laughed way too hard at “Huusk Breaker”

Maybe run the same test with a knife NOT sourced from the maker? As a chef, the ergonomics of the knife are imbecilic. The reverse-pointing hook at the handle end of the blade edge promises a freshly cut hand every day.

You've been very fair to them. And you've been scrupulously honest too. Now, if this means they've improved the product then good on them. They could stand to lose all the horseshit advertising for their product.

For a brief moment in time you made a difference. You moved the soulless husks at Huusk to, at least temporarily, sell passable knives. You also improved the lives of all those who received the passable Huusk knives. Congratulations are in order.

This is the funniest shit ever. This company presumably running a trashy drop shipping scam, but after getting called out, instead of taking the money and running they doubled down like "we’ll show you Pete! We’re going to become a real knife company! You’ll see- YOU’LL ALL SEE!” 😂

"Brickardo" - incredible 😂 as a note on 420J2, i think this is typically your "surgical stainless" steel. It's the steel used for disposable blades knives like you would for field dressing big game if you didn't know anything about knives or how to sharpen. a typical example is the Outdoor Edge Razor. I think the idea is that it is suitable for the manufacturer to get a razor sharp edge. but it isn't suitable for maintaining an edge and is expected to be thrown away rather than resharpened. I'd really love to see you but a Huusk knife on a KME and resharpen and retest the knife and get your thoughts on the experience of sharpening this 420J2. Anything expected to be used more than once should be at a minimum 420hc (usa), 8cr13mov (china), or aus8 (japan) as far as stainless steel edge-holding materials are concerned. as a point of reference, a 6-pack of 420J2 5-inch replacement blades is 14.95 usd direct from Outdoor Edge, so i gauge the value of the Huusk knife with respect to this

A most transparent attempt by Huusk at can evasion.

Husk is the Tommy wiseau of the knife community. I love these videos. I hope this saga continues. Thank you brother

Pete you are the S tier knife nerd I consult for information when thinking of buying a knife. Out of all your videos I watched this is another one. 10 thumbs up for the thorough bin testing segment.

I love how all my favourite knifeguys on youtube are pals.

Next Nick Shabazz is gonna receive a MagnaCut Z-Hunter in the mail that actually locks and has no blade play. The world has turned upside down! The Husk saga continues...

The twists and turns this Huusk saga has taken is more entertaining than any anime I’ve seen this year

I paused the video to read about the poop knife. I couldn’t stop laughing and felt like I was turning into a psychotic mad scientist as my laughter turned into the neighborhood hearing me howl like a hyena for 10 minutes.

The suffering of blacksmiths of ye olde times was a hard one when they moved from hammering wrought iron and carbon steels to whacking on 420 stainless.

I'm surprised not only at the steel but that they actually went to the trouble of heat treating it.

Imagine using a steel so bad that 3cr is a significant upgrade. Well done, HUUSK. Well done. Edit: "steel"

That Brickardo is always the voice of reason.......they technically owe you royalties now...

Where’s the MagnaCut Husk at?

Good for you for being so honest Sir!. Excellent and fair review.

If you asked a 12 year old what his ideal chef knife would look like this would be it. I have to say though that this is at least, is a serviceable tool once you grind off that reverse point that threatens to poke your finger every time you try to wield it.

Always keen to see new products from high-end knife companies like Huusk! 😉😁🤪

From pot metal to a butter knife steel lol

1:08 I can't be the only one at a glance thought they are advertising their new blade material IN HUGE FONTS in that pic right?

Fast forward one year’s time and Pete has a guest in his house….a rep from Huusk, trying to justify the “now” greatly upgraded HUUSK kitchen knife and the guy has a broken japanese accent and also is wearing a t-shirt with an old Ginzu logo on it….? Whaaaat?

Those fake hammer marks are ridiculous. I own a hand forged kitchen knife and the hammer marks are barely noticeable. Such crude hammer marks would be a indication of poor workmanship. Besides, they don't even go behind the hole on the huusk.

I’m at work and my company blocked the website due to potential phishing 😂 hahaha

It'd be something of a happy ending if they stuck with making the "good" version but if it's already gone in lieu of the shit version it almost seems like a semi-genius ploy to make a few good ones to revamp their reputation before going back to scamming.

Those high-speed kitchen goggles though! You reminded me of this bizarre comedy movie from the 80's: How to Get Ahead in Advertising.

I've had one of the little Buck canoe knives for a while, the 420j has honestly been 'just fine' for my uses with that knife. Doesn't pull chicks though.

This knife could be a decent pizza cutter. If only they would sell it as a pizza cutter and not a luxury cheff knife..

Don’t get too excited - the rope cuts expended the number magical charges artificially powering the knife - which should consequently be back at its normal level of functioning i.e. that of a recently unearthed, late WWII, bent spoon. You can recharge it of course, for a fee, at any Magical Tim’s Shoppe, however that particular franchise does not operate outside of Narnia and it will cost you about twice the price of a new Huusk knife and you will suffer the obligatory, debilitating effects of Tim’s complimentary “noisy knees” spell for a few weeks following the purchase, that’s just the way Tim rolls and his word that he is NOT receiving any form of special financial support from Huusk is good enough for me.

Nice! No they simple need to get rid of the faux out of the forge finish (this black coating/paint, is it even FOOD SAFE? ), make a normal looking kitchen blade knife. ,; completely chanthe geometry to a full flat grind, And they'll have an acceptable and unremarkable, generic 20dollar kitchen knife. This is probably were the issue lies and why the "company" lies.

Huusk. Bricky. The Bin. **chef’s kiss**

Prop . . . One day someone will make an adventure parody or satire and THESE knives will be real props! By the way, my preferred stainless for pots and silverware is 18/10. Makes a terrific spoon!

You sir are the sole reason why this is a "better knife"... HUZZAH to you mate.

So Ive been watching & completely agreeing with you & that junk they call a knife, but the other week I went to my boss's house & he had one in his house! Then asked if I could sharpen it for him... yea I politely said even if I do it will be dull before I leave even if you don't use it & then pointed him to your videos. Thanx!

What we're not seeing is the Huusk representative holding a rifle on Pete just off camera 😅

Some of the best bin action ever. Good job remaining impartial and fair, Pete.

420 J2 is what Rada uses for their kitchen knives. For a basic kitchen steel, it seems to work adequately. I have a ton of customers who swear by Rada.

It's still an eye sore. 😅

Try the Babbish Knives next, to see if an influencer can make a good knife.

The saga continues, even when nobody expects it to, time and time again. 😂 But more importantly, WHAT ON EARTH IS A POOP KNIFE. 😮

At this Point Binny needs a personality 😂

The saga continues... 😂

Still holding out for the K390 version 🤞🏻 😂😂😂

@20:21 Chef Endrizzi says "The blade has a good curve, allowing you to rest your middle finger on it comfortably." when you think about it, is there _any_ viable knife grip where your middle finger rests on the blade? granted, a top knuckle of the support hand (on the food) is commonly used to guide the blade in kitchen uses. but this is hindered by excessive blade curvature. you really don't want an upswept or trailing-point design in the kitchen, once you get fast with knives. i'm probably overthinking it though. i mean, there is no Chef Endrizzi.

Will you be putting on a new edge, and retesting? I’d be interested in seeing that. I still won’t buy one, but I’m interested. Lol. I just bought a few Vosteed chef knives, and they are great…..and cheap.

Im here for the crono trigger soundtrack 😂

I personally wouldn’t support a scammy company like that unless the knife was PERFECT in every freaking way

Please update your "what exercises do I do" video to include "bin throwing" as a valid and worthwhile life improvement activity!

HUUSK BREAKER, TO ME! 😂

Someday, just like in Shawshank, when you are older and can escape the world of shitty knives, you shall dig up the coordinates to see your long lost friend. And you will walk up the beach of Zihuatanejo and Bernard shall be there waiting for you with a smile on his face.

Well done for continuing on your adventure. It looks like Huusk, are demonstrating the 'conservation of misery'. Like energy, misery can't be created or destroyed. It can only be converted into a different shape and dumped elsewhere. That hooky little finger slicer is probably how the misery was rebalanced to compensate for using steel. I wonder how many manufacturing steps, and how much energy, and pollution they'd save by not painting it? Best Wishes for 2024. ☮ PS Came from 'Honed' to support you.

So Bernard Descoteaux not only endorses Huusk knives, he endorses Huusk-esque knives?

I sincerely mean it when I say that this is one of the greatest product reviews ever. Truly epic!

Keep fighting the good fight, Pete! Kudos to you for being neutral on the materials. I don’t think I would have been so fair.

Thanks for an honest review! I hate Youtue for all the fake reviews on scam items like the Husk knife. But you being honest makes a huge difference! Keep up the good work. Btw. the nearest a Husk knife I've ever been is sharpening one and I'm still laughting at the burr going back and forth and refuses to go away. I think my frying pan has better steel than this... And oh yeah, it's made of aluminium (the frying pan)....

"Blacksmith heritage 420J2” 😂

Wow ... is that comparable to well made, and expertly tempered 1060 steel?

The drama! The intrigue! The reveals! The Chefs!!!! What an emotional rollercoaster!

Finally you got a non-counterfeit huusk!

A very common entry level steel in european kitchen knives is 1.4116/X50CrMov15 (0.45% - 0.55% carbon content). In comparison 420J2 (0.32% carbon) has slightly lower carbon content, but the difference is not huge. The maximum hardness of 420J2 is 56Hrc, wich is the hardness of most european knives in 1.4116. The similarity in performance might be explained by the similar hardness, since Cr content is basically the same (same edge retention from carbides).

every time this guy uses chrono trigger music it gets me so good i smile everytime

I bought a Fubinati brand kitchen / outdoor knife from Amazon after some wine one evening a while back and it looks VERY similar to these Huusk ones...

magnacut/15v huusk sprint run next lets go!!

Mora petty knife, never knew of that. Must buy.

Now I wait for them to use a screenshot of 14:54 as endorsement.

your videos always go down like warm oil. thank you.

I am so grateful for your continued top-notch content. "You put the whip in Cooooool Whip, mate"

Japanese Pete and his Japanese Huusk just Japanesing 😂

@pete does the box say "traditional San Mai style steel" anywhere on it? lol

Love these bad knife videos. You are quite funny

Big knife got to Pete

Im never going to buy these knives. Ever look into Dalstrong knives? As a chef I was looking for kitchen knives that actually have a NSF stamp on them, and the amount of "Japanese" and "German style" brand of knives with a NSF label that are actually made in China, blew me away! Are these knives actually getting NSF certified? Or are they just slapping the label on there? Ended up getting some Mercer Culinary Knives, the Genesis series, made in Taiwan.

Good job Pete, now that you have so many husks.. how about some abusive destruction…. Can a husk knife split a bullet…. Or just shoot/blow them up.

A ‘steal upgrade’

420J2 SUPER STEEL SPRINT RUUUUUN!!! 🤣😂🤣

Marked this video as "watch later", but then realized I might not get a chance later.

M390?

13:40 what snes game did you swipe thr music off of?

Huusk: the undisputed masters of 420j2

What was the one used to cut open the package? THAT looks like a good one.

Hmm, the name "Descoteaux" is suspiciously similar to the French words meaning, "some knives".

That is a real compliment to the Japanese, when most scams pretend the products are from Japan.

Thank you for making realize i can reverse image search reviewers to see if theyre fake

Maybe they do a small batch of "real" knives for reviewers, seeding a new Amazon listing with good reviews, etc.

The internet....... is broken..... 😂

They have one on Amazon that claims to be a titanium blade.

Fwiw, Cold steel makes their click and cut "disposable" blades from 420j2. It's really easy to sharpen , just saying !

Looks like they dun shut you up lol

At least Huusk are shipping their knives. If you’re after some knife scammers then tell the story of Survive knives. There’s a thread on blade forums to get you started.

Des couteaux??? For the francophones out there: "of knives." bahahahahahahahahahaha

Good gravy

POOP KNIFE 😂😂😂😂😂

Always blindly smite, no hesitation and no regrets.

I’m 99.899% sure that Huusk buys these knives premade, and sells them after putting their brand on blanks I’m also 99.799% sure that Huusk doesn’t own, or even have a stake in the manufacturer that makes these knives I’m also 100% sure that other brands buy these knives to sell themselves And I’m 99.5999% sure that the manufacturer just uses whatever steel they can get their hands on to produce these knives, thus the major humongous difference in quality, size, shape and overall look of the knives It honestly wouldn’t surprise me to see a 5cr blade end up in a Huusk run of these knives
