I hate onions.

I like how many layers there are to this review.

The title made me a little skeptical. But this truly was the most interesting Endela review I've ever watched. My grandfather used to grow onions in the alley. A tradition my brother still does. You're absolutely correct about onions being easy to grow. Whilst planting them in the alley, my other brother started chucking little bulbs at him & many of those onions survived.

Guy gets 50 thousand subs and figures he's some big timer who can do onion videos now.

This review brought a tear to my eye.

Fantastic Pete. Currently I’m growing some black onions. They have serrated leaves and in some parts of the world are known as ‘Tactical Onions’.

OMG, finally! I subbed to this channel years ago, and kept suffering through countless "knife" videos, all the while telling myself "It's an outdoors channel, he has to review outdoor onion growing at some point". I doubted my decision to sub many times, but today my perseverance pays off!!

I did NOT expect the old Thames production clip! I haven't seen that in decades! Funny, funny stuff, Pete!

Latterly, ‘onion holding capacity’ has also become a useful means of standardising and communicating about the size of caps, bags and sacks.

I noticed the add directly following this interesting onion film, was an ad for tomatos. I’m wondering how you feel about this micro aggression from the tomato conglomerate?

Came for the knife review, stayed for the onions 🧅

I’ve never wanted to purchase a Kershaw Leek more than I do right now. Excellent review.

Well, here is a comparative onion-growing presentation: My grandmother and my father grew their onions from "sets" or tiny bulblets most of the time for yellow (brown) onions, and from "slips" or matchstick size tiny plants sold in bundles of 100 for white onions. However, in order to have onions to store for later use, the ancestors put youngsters (me) to work. I was to dig or lift the entire onion plant from the soil, lay plants out to dry for a few days till tops were browning, then tie the onions into bunches of 5 or 6, leaving enough string to attach to a nail in a basement rafter. The tops were left to dangle as dried wisps. Bulbs were cut from the bunch as needed. If the tops were suitable, I sometimes braided the onions into strands and hung those from the basement rafters. Actually, I suppose, they were joists. But pay no mind. I am Southern, and we digress quite freely. I would think cutting open so much of the flesh of the bulbs as you show would allow much of the remaining exposed flesh to dry out and prevent long storage. Are onions different in the Southern Hemisphere? Or do you pickle your onions, perhaps, in order to preserve them?

Proposal: my wife, who does not watch knife videos, will watch a knife video. Hypothesis: if the knife video is about gardening, she will watch it. Results: she watched the video. I learned about onions. She learned about Spyderco.

This made my day! Excellent review!

That Thames logo at the end. Reminded me of watching Benny Hill with my dad

Garlic is a great homestead root too for its medicinal and epicurean uses. Shallot… now there is the king of roots.

Best knife review ever. Please make all of ur reviews like this

I have this knife, Endela in K390. It is a very good Spyderco that I had completely overlooked, and I’m glad I have it. THAT SAID, the Stretch 2 K390 is very similar but strictly better, imo. In FF Tactics Pete would be an Onion Knight, apparently.

Your onions came out great. Nice job, man. Well done.

I liked the bit about onions. Have several growing currently

I'll be honest, I was hoping for one Ken Onion reference here. Otherwise, good review.

G'day Pete, I mix it up with garlic and shallots too. All the same family means same soil and other growing conditions does the lot. Cheers Duke.

This is the best Endela review I’ve watched all morning.

Thanks for peeling away at that mystery.

As someone who always gets extra onions on my burger, this was absolutely an amazing Endela review!

Shrek would be pleased

This review brought me to tears 🧅

I'm more of a garlic man myself. Grow about 1,000 hands a year, and eat about three a day. Cooked or raw. Don't for get to prune the scapes, plus they're great for chewing on.

Great job!

You’re like a dryer longer winded discount Ryan Reynolds 🤣

Excellent review of Spyderco Onion in K390.

FYI Spyderco has a very generous Mil/LE program for those in the US. VERY generous.

A review so good it brought me to tears

I love onions! I put them on/in, literally everything I eat. And after watching your “knife review”, I’m gonna have to go buy an Endela so I can grow my own lol

This "knife" review was absolutely, amazingly informative. Perhaps in your top 10 of all time. Thank you & goodnight....

Thanks for the info now I want an Endela, and a Salad for some reason.

I use red (but actually purple) onion for everything now. Doesn't matter what the recipe calls for, I use a red onion. Gets just as sweet when caramelized and isn't as pungent when used raw. Vidalias are good when you can get them but red onions are available year round. Also I wish Spyderco would offer the super pointy tips again on the Endura/Endela/Delica line like they did in previous generations.

Excellent. Thank you

I reground my K390 Endela to 0.015" BTE, and sharpened it at 30 deg. inclusive. It is good, and I am happy.

I occasionally mull over picking something out from the Delica-Endela-Endura continuum, but my mind is never far from onions. 👍

I was pretty excited for the serated onions but seems they are very hard to grow in Australia.

There are a lot of farmers in my area that farm onions (they usually rotate their crops from onions to corn to potatoes and sometimes sugar beets) and they usually dry their onions by putting them in a burlap sack and hanging them on a rack (outside when it’s dry weather and inside when it’s not)

Gotta love that k390. I've been using my k390 endura like crazy

YES, more gardening content, please! I like the Byrd Cara Cara Rescue in the garden… hopefully they bring back the Spyderhawk.

I put a mustard patina on my K390 Endela. It looks cool.

Never seen such epic video about onions :)

Loving my endura K390. Have you tried a sweet white onion like the Maui onion? Great for pickling, raw on burgers and onion rings.

New Whang, MamaMax, AND Pete on the same day?! What a time to be alive lol.

i learned more from this review than anything else you have ever done

You certainly know your onions son.

I'm been trying to get a K390 one for a while now, but Norwegian retailers only carry the VG-10 ones that's also always out of stock. I probably just gonna order one from Finland since they are a lot cheaper there, but then there is the lovely 25% import tax we got + handling fees. But it still will probably be cheaper than to buy one in Norway (or about the same price). So I just have to bite the apple, since it's more than likely the fastest way to get one. Nothing against VG-10 but sometimes one just want to try something new and I currently don't own anything in K390,so that's another excuse for me to get one 😋

if you fail an erebus challenge in hades, zagreus is given onions as an ironic reward, which is odd to me because onions feature so commonly in mediterranean cuisine, which i assumed the divine denizens of the greco-roman underworld would enjoy regularly if not as their staple diet.

I hardly cried at all through this review.

Really struggling to choose my first k390 knife. I’m caught between the endura and the stretch 2. I like the look of the stretch far better, but the endura has a significant amount more of blade. A tough decision it will be. In the meantime, I’m gonna go buy some more onions!!!

Nice review, I’m off to buy some onions!

I hope we will get a video about green onions, chives and spring onions.

Have you tested the HRC of your onions? How is the edge retention?

Love onions and garlic, grow my own… endela and endura in k390 both amazing, can’t go wrong, but I still like my manix2 with rain drop cf scales best 🤗

Nicely done sir. You should warn consumers not to eat the onion with the blue handle/stem.

What no sweet onions? Here in the Pacific Northwest of the US the local sweet is the walla walla sweet. In Hawaii the Maui sweet seems to hold this niche. I’m sure NSW has there own tried and true sweet. A quick check on line shows seeds available for Vidalla and walla walla sweets. Your crop looked impressive for container grown veggies.

I used to categorically hate onions but I did find out that if they're crisped, they're good. It's a texture thing I guess.

Just got some titanium scales for mine. Really stepped up the overall feel of the knife. Absolutely love it now.🤙😎 Edit: thought it was Endura 4 in the thumbnail. Oops😅

So how versatile are black onions compared to the other ones on your diagram?

Have you ever tried growing Vidalia onions or Leeks? In my local area you can find wild leaks growing in places and wild onions too. The tops of young onions and the onions themselves we call Scallions or spring onions. Try making some onion pancakes they are pretty tasty.

Fascinating endella review. Also, onions......

Which onion is the Delica, which the Endura and which the Endela? Follow-up - which knife is best in salads?

Brown onions are great for salad bro, here in Greece we eat these both raw into the FAmous "Greek Salad" or we use them for Rabbit or Beef Stew, that we call Steefad(th)o (Στιφάδο).

10/10 would buy an Endela after this reciew.

True story my grandfather used to boil onions down into a syrup use that syrup for sickness couples tablespoons of that and any cold/sickness would just go away...

Best onion I mean Endela review!!!!

If you want to use a brown onion in a salad, after you've sliced it put it in a bowl of water for a bit. The water takes all the angry out of it.

I am dying to see you make a fixed and a folder knife. Don’t disappoint me.

Great work 😂

You've gotta try Vidalia onions. A sweet versatile onion.

How many cuts or sissel rope did it take before the Endela couldn't cut an onion?

I smoked some dope earlier on and clicked on a video about a spyderco knife. Wow, what a trip about onions.

Next up how many onions does it take a dull a k390 blade. I love the delica and endura might have to get me a endela

I always love watching an onion review right before Count Duckula.

1:00 can relate

What is the best way to grow a Spyderco Endela?

Awesome. That means your K390 Endela is worth about 66 kilos of onions (in $AUS). Unfortunately it also means that I will need to save up about 685 kilos of onions to buy that Rockstead I have my eyes on. From experience I know I can do about 5 kilos of onion a year in my veggie bed .... so only 137 years to go. Love the videos Pete.

Imagine cooking a meal without starting with onions. I mean an Endela? I mean onions. And also garlic.

These "onions" sound pretty good, but how many cuts of twisted sisal rope will they make before no longer reliably slicing a held sheet of paper?

Pickled red onions are amazing on burgers

Idk if it’s the onions, or the knife I like more in this review.

I came here interested in cutlery, and i leave interested in produce. Cool.

That endura review thooooo

Green onions are my favorite because they're the easiest to grow and use as a seasoning/garnish. Just put them in a cup of water or dirt after you buy em from the store! (Although they must still have the stems attatched)

Pete…Ok, Top 5 steels (or non steels) in order…Aaaaand, go!

Sure, white onions are versatile. But can they be used to slice a held sheet of paper?

Is it true that serrated onions taste stronger alongside the more fibrous vegetables than plain onions?

There are many layers to this review.

Per Gaye et al (1969), the world is just a great big onion. The conclusions drawn in that (non-peer reviewed) thesis are that we should plant love seeds. Evidence from the Magistrates Court suggests this is not a course of action to be followed on allotments.

Brilliant

Quite interesting Also, I love onions 🧅

The Endela is right in the Goldilocks zone for EDC. Really disappointed you didn’t baton up some of those onion stalks.

Truly an interesting review lol 😆

I learned somethign new, people refer to yellow onions as brown onions. I grow crates of them every year, and shallots, a whole nother review of course, and all my life they've been yellow onions, plus white and red.

Bravo!
