check out my 2nd channel here ^^ link in description

I like to imagine this entire channel is just an excuse for Tyler to make fruit salad every few weeks.

One thing I'd love to see in viral knife reviews is to buy a $3-5 super cheap chef knife to see how it compares with the same stuff.

I’m so glad channels like this exist. I’m so easily persuaded but watching these reviews keep me level-headed.

Tyler - It might not be a bad idea to wear some eye protection during these tests. Blades can snap when hacking stuff and fly across in a random direction.

Ever notice how a knife that can cut through anything never cuts through its sheath?

Hi Tyler. I gotta say, I never expected this video to go so crazy!! This was a rehearsal take with no teleprompter. The verbiage got cleaned up for the final production copy, but this was fun to post because it was just one take.....pretty rare in this line of work with that sort of setup. So I can assure everyone of two things, 1....I know drain gutters are not steel....like I said....rehearsal, and 2....Like it or not, that was done in 1 solid take.....no cuts....same knife. Keep up the good work brother!! -Dude in the video.

Back in 1976 I sold Cutco cutlery to pay for tuition. The "Double-D" knife demonstration was virtually identical to this test, minus the pineapple. We carried ropes and belts and challenged potential buyers to bring out their best knife for comparison. Like you said, a straight edge can't compete in these scenarios. Some things just never change.

The steel flexible hose he was talking about is used for gas installations in homes and businesses. It's a spiral steel "hose" with a rubber coating on the outside, but it's normally yellow and also doesn't have preinstalled end connections. The hose he cut in the video just looked like a regular garden hose and not a flexline gas pipe.

"And you know your husband's gonna try to cut tree branches outside with it". No. No he's not. That is a knife. We have saws for trees.

I like how on the add it said it could cut through steel and it was an aluminum downspout for a gutter . Not steel 🤣

I think a good general rule of thumb is "do not buy the viral TikTok anything." My dad is a master German cutlery maker, 3rd generation. A real test for sharpness isn't a freaking pineapple. It would be cutting something with tons of give like a tomato, very fine, without mushing it. Another good test is holding a paper up. If the knife cuts through paper without ANY resistance or tearing whatever, you have yourself a good knife. Guys, if you're in the market for an amazing knife, go with Wüsthof. Chef Ramsay uses them, not some random bozos on the internet. They've been around for hundreds of years.

I think "flex steel reinforced waterhose" is one of those waterhoses that have like steel mesh wrapped around it. We have those at home because it prevents kinks really well.

It would be interesting to see the sharpness after each challenge so we can see how it changes, and what really effects the sharpness

The sponsor segment was weird in this video. Hearing Tyler, a man who happily drinks Mountain Lightning and Sam's Cola, complain about artificial sweeteners and say he doesn't like putting them in his drinks...it just sounds wrong

9:10 _“nice! your fruit killing skills are remarkable! captain price wants to see you.”_ - gaz

That water bottle idea is pretty genius actually using air to scent the water. I've actually noticed when drinking from my water bottle after I've eaten something or even just if my breath kinda reeks it would actually flavor the water if I just let it sit for awhile, which is why I always waterfall the water into my mouth to not change the flavor too much. I wish I thought of that idea!

Some hoses have steel chicken wire to reinforce them. I also completely agreed with your serration point. Only the tips are being screwed up. Eventually the entire edge profile will be flat and ruined.

Always love the chopping the pineapple bit. I have knives that I have used for a decade without a single sharpening that can do that without an issue. But they won't cut the skin on my hand without a fair amount of pressure and actually slicing it.

Every couple of years a knife goes "viral" and I mean going back to when I was a kid in the 80's (infomercials). Buy yourself a 10-dollar 2-in-1 whetstone and save yourself 50 bucks by just sharpening any junk knife you already have. I'm not even close to "good" at sharpening a knife and I've had guests use my kitchen knives and gush over how high quality the knife must be only for me to tell them it is one of those 50 dollars for a set of 6 wallmart deals that I sharpen once a year. I'm sure a 500-dollar forged in the heart of mt. fukkisaka and quenched in the blood of virgin knives is better but really my junk knife can cut a ripe tomato just fine and I don't cry if my wife uses it to pry open a can or something silly.

Some of those gutters and downspouts especially older ones can be made from a little thicker galvanized steel. But i think you're right the one he had definitely looked like just the cheap aluminum downspout

That “steel” was an aluminum gutter downspout!

Why would anyone do this stuff to a poor knife anyway? Would love to see how it holds up being just used like you normally would. Though I found my brand of knives: Kiwi Super sharp. Budget friendly, too. The largest cost me less than $15 and is still as good as new after 1 year of normal use. It would probably be dead after cutting the "steel", though

the "flex steel hose" is like a hose with a wire mesh or wire binding inside so that it can do sharp bends and it will not kink as the wire inside holds the form of the hose. kind of like putting a spring inside a hose and bending it.

Fan of the vids and glad this one got posted. I feel like an old man, but safety glasses in case one of these cheap products breaks during your testing and bam your eye ball

I use to be a fan of Tyler Tube but after watching this I'm a whole air conditioner.

This is the first video I have seen of this channel and I will say it was fun. That’s some quality stuff you make sir.

I 100% appreciate you testing this because I've been legitimately trying to look into this knife for the past 2 years

I love how so many of these knives always advertise the same things even though everyone knows it's just a regular ol kitchen knife and a huge load of false advertising

Tyler I'm so glad that you called him out on the downspout part. That part of the commercial really irritated me. lol I used to do residential construction and when he called that aluminum downspout steel it made me cringe so hard. 😂 And the explanation about the pineapple was on point. its exactly what I told my wife when you showed the commercial. Love the content man keep it up. You've saved me from buying a few pieces of junk with your reviews.

"not indistructable.... indistructable" 😂

“IS THAT A ROCK”, I can’t😂😂

I love how the spaghetti is still on the patreon wall, lol

“if you grind your knife on a rock you’re not gonna cut anything” good to know!

Mio: "lol flavor juice go brrrrr" Air up: "flavor scent"

i like the little ding sound it makes sounds like youre making successful parries in a video game lmao

How this guy hasn't done an update video from the hospital yet I'll never know.

I think he might have used a lime-stone that is much softer than Tyler's rock.

Just looking at that commercial reminded me of the commercials from the 80s selling knives like that. I immediately went "yeah, this is gonna be bullshit". Lol

"Cuts right through steel" lmao

"It can cut right through steel." Lol I lost it when he said that on the advertisement. It's a rain gutter spout and they are made of soft aluminum. You could do the exact same thing with an average knife, I wouldn't even doubt a butter knife could do it.

The lack of safety glasses worries me.

"Let's cut trough steel" Me: Then why are you bashing on thin hollow brass pipe ?! 🤣

When that guy said steel when he was whacking that aluminum downspout It made me wish that I wasn't so tired so I could laugh more, and that a knife existed that could do that to actual steel like it was nothing XD.

Can you see if you can make a knife out of the plastic beads that you used to make the shield and see how sharp you can get it ?

the way "I" look at knives, is that they are going to lose their edge over time and use...what I want to know is "How do you sharpen that blade?" with the serrations and all, do you flat grind one side only? If that had NOT been a serrated edge, can you imagine the destruction of that edge? It wouldn't have cut anything after the brutal test. Thankfully none of us are going to be cutting hose, rope or hacking a downspout in the kitchen during 'chefly duties'...so it would probably remain fairly sharp. On the other hand, no 'real' chef would be buying this brand of knife anyway.

That raw toast shirt gets me every time. Funniest shit ever.

LOL flex Seal! Its probably the same company that does the wild flex seal commercials 😂. Its a “flex seal re-enforced hose”

In my kitchen I never had to cut leather belts, hoses, 2x4s or thick ropes. XD Guess I'll just stay with my Wusthof Classics and be very happy with them. No magic involved, just great quality workhorses.

lol @ that pineapple that was already cut in half 🤣🤣🤣🤣

I remember when those papers were not on the garage door

Scraping it on the rock made me cringe, and I think my soul left my body.

I remember when you had around 10k subs and now look at you... well done bro keep up the good content

Woohoo! Another Tyler upload!! You should totally keep testing these viral gadgets!

You are so good at explaining things and going straight to the point. Love ur vids 🙂

Watched it on TikTok and came straight here because I knew you would have a video. Lmfao 🤣

i really like how the knife rings, i always thought it was just a movie thing where they added sound to portray blade as very sharp.

I can't believe how much you blew up since I found u 🙏 ever few months I come and binge watch every video I missed 🤣 Keep doing your thing bro! 💯

It'd be interesting to see how well it works as a chef knife after it gets a proper edge ground back onto it. The metal is probably so cheap that it wouldn't hold an edge even after normal use though.

Tyler: Its not physically adding anything to the water Chemistry: Hold my beer

You forgot the watermelon! LOL!

I wondered how long it was going to take before you mentioned it as having a surrated blade. Although serrations allow a blade to endure more, I would no try to shave with one... ever. The dude could have (I am not saying; did) easily switch knives after each function when needed and used a brand new knife.

Hey mate, Great video as always 😀 The "steel" hose; my guess is it would be a anti kink hose. Like That mesh style webbing they have in them.

TylerTube: "I like that ring that it has when it cuts Me: Dude i've been saying the same thing as soon as you slice that Water hose

Ohhhh it's the NicerDicer... This one's a legend in German Mediashop TV. Never knew it really existed 😂

I remember the guys demonstrating Gensu knives in grocery stores and at the state fairs years back. Their trick was they would focus all the abuse to the very back of the blade and then use the tip part of the blade to slice tomatoes so thin you could see through them. TAA DAA!!! Indestructible impossible to make it dull. Oh and obviously theyd use a new knife every demo.

Watching these videos always gives me anxiety bc i feel u get to comfortable around sharp things. Be safe tyler remember we are soft bodies critters

That air up what a joke was that 🤣🤣🤣

dude in advertisement really called that ALUMINUM down spout, steel.... LOL

Cool video, but when you're hacking things, you should keep the blade in line with your swing. I did something similar with a titanium coated fancy pants knife and it snapped and impaled my leg. Fun times.

Love the vids man. Are you still a Diesel mechanic or have you switched to doing KZfaq full time?

I used to work at a roll-forming factory. There are in fact steel downspouts that get made. I hated them because the 80's vintage machines hated putting that many bends into steel and not absolutely crumpling the part lol.

Hahahahahahahaha "I don't like the chemicals in juice, but the chemicals in Scent Pods™ are ok by me"

you know, nicer dicer is actually a bigger name then the magic knife x'D so getting that was....an interestingly better brand choice even

Would have been funny as hell if this was sponsored my magic cut

This is the modern day chef tony and his miracle blades all over again lol. Nothing new.

Not sure if anyone else has mentioned it, but the flex steel part you talk about was actually flex seal, which is some sort of quick setting rubber sealant/adhesive fluid product from the same company that made flex tape

Yeah those very sharp, serrated blades are pretty incredible... until they dull.

Any product that shows how sharp it is on certain objects. Then damage is done to it and they don’t go back to the original objects it was cutting to prove its sharpness is a total sham. Every paid advertisement relies on people being total fools to sell most of these products. Good for you Tyler on showing people so they don’t get scammed. 👍👍👍👍

I got a drinking game... take a shot everytime Tyler says "So"

Very enjoyable presentation. Years ago, there was this knife, I think it was the Ronco brand. While the 'salesman' was comparing it to another knife, if you had watched very carefully, he would literally press down hard on the tomato when showing how dull the competitor's knife was, thus giving the illusion that the competitor's knife was dull.

Only thing I have is that there is indeed steel reinforced hoses on the interent to buy. Nothing special or sacred about it, just a simple garden hose reinforced with mesh steel on an inside layer. Just search for "steel reinforced garden hose" and you'll find exactly that. But the knife would ofcourse cut through that easily as it's just mesh steel and the blade of the knife is serrated.

In Germany we know "Nicer Dicer" as the container with the blades you can use to make square pieces out of fruits (like apples). Probably a product from the same company.

"Look, I made a video about a shitty product that nobody needs" --> proceeds to do a 2 minute ad for a sponsor that is nothing but a cash grab

Everyone called out the video though 😂😂

Would like to see you test a Gosun cooker to see if they work.

This just kinda sounds like I need one for my camping kit. I could use it as a tent stake.

7:23 maybe some safety glasses my friend lol

This guy really trying to sell us scented waterbottles.

I call limestone or another soft " stone" they used just like the " steel" 😂😂

Test 2 Miracle Blades. Put one in a vice blade up now take the second knife and try and cut threw it length ways so it’s blade to blade. It should make a break in the time space continuum because they can cut threw anything and never get dull so they should be able to cut threw each other at the same time as not taking damage to the blade. BOOM time travel.

This reminds me of the old "Wizard of Id" comic, where the wizard's wife Blanche when into "Ye Ol Knife Shoppe" and asked for the infomercial knife that would cut up bricks. Then she asked: "Will this knife really cut up brick in my kitchen?" Salesman ask: "It depends. How many bricks do you plan to serve?"

My mom has one of those infomercial knives from the 90's and it's genuinely the sharpest knife we have in our knife drawer. From what i can see with my bare eye's the serrated edge is fully sharp and has no damage after all these year's. We've definitely never tried cutting a rock but it's lived up to it's life time warranty so far

i'm not sure if anybody already told (i couldn't find it) but you can get flexible garden hoses that are reinforced with small steel wires. i think that's what hes talking about. not that i think it would do the biggest difference. ps. love your videos keep up the good work🤩

I don't watch TikTok.

The whole 'cutting through a pineapple ' thing reminds me of a comic juggler who made fun of how jugglers show how sharp their knives are by cutting a carrot in half with a knife... the comic swung a carrot at the cylindrical microphone stand, which cleanly cut the carrot in 2...

Man i really like this guy #nohomo , the energy the beard the funny sarcasm just all very positive , great channel bro👍

You should do a Jay Neilson, Forged in Fire, strength test.

I was at a store in Iowa holding a demonstration with my girlfriend at the time 22 years ago with a knife as seen on tv. It looked impressive, and I asked her if we should get one. So I did, I got home and opened the box, to my surprise, it was the one she used for the demonstration, what a piece of junk!! I was so pissed off!!!!!! Never would i buy these "MAGIC" knives nor would anyone who uses them for cooking put them through this type of torture. You might as well sharpen a flat screwdriver and use it as a chisel.

"Don't buy this knife I'm telling you I'm about to review, but definitely buy this fucking water bottle. Now that I've gotten paid for advertising, here is a different product, but similar enough, that I will arbitrarily destroy for the sake of false commentary." Lolol. Wtf is this.
