HUUSK vs even the most basic cutlery steels

They're remarketing them as Viking style chefs knives now lol

This content in beautiful

That is pure looks. Sadly most will never know the truth and will buy these. What a slab of scrap metal. Looks alone are nothing. Performance was not in the design.

You have the quirkiest, funniest knife channel while at the same time remaining informative and fairly scientific. Thank you for the content, love it.

The cruel truth.

Huusk knives: A Lithuanian company drop shipping cheap, pot metal Chinese knives, claiming to be "Japan knives" with what, a Finnish name? Did I get that about right?

Thanks for sharing

Huusk has a new review up that praises the knife and many many totally positive comments underneath. I am guessing it is fake/paid. Their ads are still popping up on my screen. There must be a lot of money to be made. They are claiming there are "fake" Huusk knives of low quality out there, LOL!

Hey Pete, where you at? We miss you!

Could you try to give them a better heat treatment? Or generally try to make it usable. You could call it "Husk to Hero"

CONDUCIVE not conductive. Sorry.

You should chop completely through a Huusk knife with a machete or hatchet lol

Huusk is a scam.
Cheap knives made in China as Japanese knives.
They have no shame.

Japan should sue huusk for defamation.

as some one looking at buying some decent knives, i'm very grateful

also, but no offence, vids of the kittens give me joy, love your work

Yes they are abolute rubbish.

Should do huusk vs a bronze knife since they should be pretty similar lol

While I fully agree that a Huusk is an overpriced hoax, I have to point out that your test is not entirely fair. Your knife isn't stainless, so it's not really comparable. Stainless steel is generally softer than carbon steel, its virtues being in rust resistance.
Furthermore, your knife looks thicker and heavier, an unfair match. The big guy beats the small guy.
I add that those notches on your knife aren't so easy to remove either. They'll take hard work and eat away much blade metal in the process.

Yes, I fell for this scam😢 I bought two huusk knives and leather pouches from their website, I just wish I’d read the reviews first, rather than the 70% saving they were offering.
I bought them a month ago, and they are still unopened. Guess I’ll put it down to late night shopping. £90 lost to the scammers 🤦‍♂️

Recommend gloves and glasses for your next test.

Outside the scope of knife snobism this is meaningless. I have a small victorinox can opener sharpened at 40° per side and paring knives thin as razor blades that won't withstand any abuse. Each one is fit for the job.

Please please please Pete can you baton through this Huusk POS with a Cold Steel SK-5 SRK or similar. I am certain everyone would appreciate that.

From the British Stainless Steel Association website:
"The austenitic and ferritic ’18/8′, ’18/10′ and ’18/0′ stainless steels cannot be hardened by heat treatment and so can only be used for knife handles, forks and spoons."
What you have there is a sharpened spoon handle.

Holy moly, I didn't expect to see getting so deep, with a good swing you should be able to cut the tip right off. Not a blade steel at all.

Forget The paper cut test The HUUSK cut test lol!

I'd like to see you guys expose other fake Japanese knife brands from China also. There are many of them (MITSUMOTO SAKARI for example).

From the get go, Huusk looks cheap!

Even if it was made out of a proper steel, the design of the blade is still atrocious for a cooking knife.

HUUSK is a scam!

I've cost huusk already a bunch of money by not recommending this shitty blade

What does everyone expect? It made in china, nothing good comes from communist china.

So husk knives are basically made of hardened tinfoil..

Great Stuff!

Yea when I get a knew knife I immediately go wack it with a different knife, lol what a fool.

He 3 finger swing a poket knife... it made a dent 😂

Sadly, my wife was fooled by the hype and bought me 2 Huusk knives.

I would never buy a Huusk personally but someone gave me one as a gift. I would never use it in some sort of knife fight, but it cuts onions and carrots ok.

Huusk says Japan . That’s not where is made. Made in China

Stop using Japan when you say the name...

19 Husk employees hate this vid.

I had a rare oportunity to hold two of these Huusk knives in my hands simultaneously and I compared the ''forge marks''. Their pattern is identical, meaning it is simply embossed, most likely by a roler.

Huusk such a giant scam. It's not Japanese, it's made in China. It's easy to go on tat websites and type "kitchen knife" and see exactly the same blade without the name, but clearly identical make and manufacture. So all they did is bulk purchase a bunch, slap together a fake backstory of it being "Japanese inspired" and laser etch a logo on it. Then sell it for 2x markup or more. It's not even a good knife, and even if it cut well, which it doesn't, those pits are actually unsanitary. Absolute scam.

I think I could cut a piece from a tin can, and it would cut as well as a Huusk.
OK, the can would rust. But if you’re saddled with a knife like a Huusk, do you really want it to last a lifetime??

so then it must be a real find on Temu, the rolls royce of internet retail quality. so i tried to see if a trail of tears buyers remorse could find a lawyer to reward them for their zealous purchases?

There should be severe penalties for outright scams and bs of this kind. Pretty easy to prove

So i guess u can lie your ass of when there is a great profit to be made from the gullible. Anyone say "safe and effective"?

That’s hilarious. I was gifted one of these a few years ago. I think they were selling for 17 or 19 bucks at the time at the most. I cleaned a couple deer with mine and I had chunks out of the blade when I was done. I just bought a couple of old carbon steel trade knives at the thrift store for a buck 75 for the pair. They are miles ahead in quality and durability.

Monkey metal!
