Scanpan looks like Wilfa Ego knife.

In my experience it depends on which company you buy a Finka from. If you get the large model made by a good company like Kizlyar etc then I would put it on a similar level as an American Ka-bar. Not bomb proof but good enough. Which "good enough" is usually what militaries are looking for in standard issue utility blades anyway. Lol

I inherited some Cutco knives from my mother who bought them from my brother when he was trying to sell them in college. They are junk - poorly balanced, weird handles, won't hold an edge. I bought a 10" Cutco Chef knife (MSRP $170) at Goodwill for $0.99. I use it for things I won't risk my good knives on. My "good" knives are all flea market/thrift store finds, including a Wusthoff slicer for $3. Don't waste your money on Cutco. The only things they can legitimately brag about are their warranty and their "Made in USA" label. The knives themselves are crap.

You're reviewing this for a friend? What do you do for your enemies? You convinced me NOT to buy one.

Holy crap, you are so figgity... Wow

Is it better than the victorinox?

Damn I just ordered a Zwilling pro 20cm. I paid 450 DKK which is just a bit over 60 EUR. Thanks to this video I now known to check if it it is warped, and if it is I'm going to return it.

It fit's the AR rifle and Carbine with a 14' barrel ok. I have a Mossberg 590A1 that came with an Ontario M9 bayonet.

I wonder wtf SOG was thinking?!

What sling attachment are you using

Christ bless you all, thank you for the info

Thanks for the update! I wish they had more options in this series. I’m not a big fan of the full bolster or the Santoku

$350 for x50 steel at 57 +/- 1 HRC, and some have that huge awful bolster. Watched a video on the making of a Wusthof, they are cut from stamped sheets and a machine drop forges the bolster to the handle. That's the 'forged' part. Wusthof is a big no from me.

These were the first Japanese knives I bought a long time ago, because of Bourdain's book. Had the 8" chef and the santoku with the dimples. I was happy with them for years, until I I couldn't stand the handles anymore. Too slippery when wet, especially when cutting meat. I then picked up a single blacksmith 210 gyuto with a blue 2 core, fell in love with wa handles.

Nice.

I like the design as it is comfortable and looks great. However, it's absolutely pain to sharpen on the stone. There is something off with the steel used.

Can you do an updated video on how you like the Performer? I’m thinking of purchasing it but would like an in depth review and can’t seem to find a very good one on KZfaq! Thanks in advance!

FYI, those cracked and broken handles should be covered by Zwillings lifetime warranty.

the way you flail around with the knives makes me get anxiety from the video

People be smart and listen, modern warfare went back in to trenches (look at whats happening in Ukraine...) in close quarters, like trenches, bayonets play an important role!!

I just realized that knife logos are not readable on the video, they all washed out.... anyway, another reminder what dishwasher does to your knives....

Both the big Germans, Wusthof and Zwilling, I dislike them. Generic x50 steel for such a high premium. A Victorinox 8" with its x55 and price and a muuuuuuch better grind and thinness is soo much better overall.

Not rounding the spine keeps the cost lower. If someone rounded the spines for comfort, it would probably cost significantly more because its an additional step in the process.

You should buy the product! It will change your mind. Besides that its a forever guaranteed product. Which means that if its lifetime ends, all you have to do is send the lifeless product to the costco replacement center and they will ship at your expense, a new identical replacement item even if you dont have a proof of purchase. Because its a forever gyaranteed product, its replaced at no cost to you. All you pay is the shipping. So why is the product forever guaranteed? Because it wont be necessary to be replaced for at least 40 years of use. And if a forever guaranteed product is not worth a one time spending a good amount, then, be my guest keeping replacing the cheap brands yearly at your own expense. And with all the specials and promotions and discounts plus payment plans at no interest charge, its worth every cent. One time spending what can be replaced for free forever , will save me more . Plus it feels great not to struggle with stubborn bent noncutting knives!

where can i buy this big ten year old knife?

Fair review. For the price that belly issue is not acceptable.

Why not cut something with each one for comparison - onions, peppers, leeks, or carrots?

My nr. one choose for small kitchen tasks are Pallares Solsona 7 and 10 cm Inox models. Fantastic ergo and cutting performance, only downside, i have to oil the back spring after use.

Sorry, I was wrong with the price, it is 145 USD now. I am not affiliated with that seller, it is just where I could quicky find it. It does not change my opinion anyway, Good knife if you are looking for a Blue Steel performance. :)

Wow, a green western handle, that looks great.

Придави рукоять к столу по другому

Would you say the 365 Santoku is better than the Briljera?

Great review thank you

I think if you put a washer between the treading and the cap it won’t be so loose

Take the sling swivel mount off the cap. Problem solved.

So many Cutco reps commenting trying to get sales hahahahaha.. You Reps are true pieces of dog waste.! I shouldn't insult dog waste that way either.!

Trust me, real khanjars aren't the best for your budget. I got mine for about 700, but it goes up to 50k.

Love my PM2 best knife I've ever owned !

The people who shop at IKEA don't want those "higher end-knives" so grab them quickly before they disappear.

I get a better grip with the half scales on mine , the full ones dont let my pinky get a good hold.

Выкрути антабку и вкрути её в отверстие на приливе крепления штык - ножа. Будет куда ремень прицепить если крепишь штык-нож. Тогда и чехол станет и можно одевать для безопасности. Второй вариант - выкрутить антабку и закрутить её наборот изнутри крышки магазина. И мешать не будет и отверстие в крышке закрыто. Не дякуй)

The, knife, is on the side of the cork?

I reccomend a file for g10 just go slow to not create dust

Can you present Spanish bushcraft knives and where to find them in Spain?

Finka LGBT

Do you only do cheap everyperson knife like Ikea and such, or are you open to fancier stuff like Takamura SG steel? which isn't even that fancy

UPDATE: This knife is gone as a gift to my friend. I recommend it as a gift if you want to do "Made in USA" type of message. Also Warther switched to Magnacut steel for most of their knives now, which is good. Maybe this one was also Magnacut, as markings were CPMMAG, I'd never know now... and the price now is 145 which is a bit higher now but still way better compared to other Made in USA knives with good steel. So please support Warther if you can. Stay sharp!

Really good review I'm shopping for knives, any recommendations under $150 210mm? Preferably one I can buy a 4" pairing knife from the same series. I prefer Micarta handle though

I inherited my Mom's set of Cutco. She got them back in the 70's or early 80's. I sent them once to have them sharpened. They work well. I've since gotten a manual sharpener and sharpen the ones I use a lot with that. Some say those sharpeners with kill the blade...I really don't know. It seems to work. I really can't complain about the performance. I was given a Wustoff offset serated knife which I love. But I still use my Cutco. Over time I'll probably upgrade as with remote work I do a lot more cooking. Ecellent information though.

Unfortunatly lamson knives are very poorly made
