Well jack, 2 things.
1: It's not steel, it's ceramic. Yes, it broke, but you can't blame the knife because you were cutting wood.
2: When have you ever cut a food that is as hard as wood? The knife won't break in food.
"Ever cut a food that's as hard as wood?"
Spaghetti squash.
***** the whole point is that ceramic blades aren't built for cutting hard materials. It should be kept to cutting fruits and vegetables. No matter if it's the Yoshi blade or any ceramic blade, they aren't made for hard materials.
***** haha your right. I have a ceramic knife and it works great but it's too limited to what I can use it for.
***** Do you use a sledge hammer to drive in a penny nail to hang a picture? Correct tool for the right job...
Fair enough.
I own both and use them for their proper uses.
Wasn't trying to start a war of words...
it's a ceramic blade!!!!!!!!! not for cutting wood 🙈
+Jason Esquibel Dohh! - YES!! :/ *disaster*
+Jason Esquibel Thank you. You can't dull those knives, but you can break them. There's like a basic knowledge of how these products work, and that knowledge is completely missing. :p
even so they crack on regular use too, we have like 5 ceramic knifes and all of them chipped pretty badly
+Martin Lindgren u can dull them they are like all knives they need to be sharpened
"This things breaking like crazy, maybe it wasn't such a good idea to cut wood with it" *keeps cutting wood with it* 😑😑😑😑
+Umbreen Fatmah Yea - not for the wood! It's NOT!! ...duhh.
You can't blame the knife because it doesn't work at things it's not designed to. That's like saying a car is shit because it can't float
In defense of the Yoshi blade, trying to dull the knife wasn't very smart. lol. Even high quality ceramic blades would chip or even shatter under such abuse. Under normal, non-abusive, circumstances, the blade should last for years.
Is this a joke channel? Like the onion but more subtle and for cooking?
WHY WOULD YOU DEMO A KNIFE TO CUT A WOODEN HANDLE..... I dont think my damascus knife would make it through that thing...
it's in the instruction that you are not suppose to cut bones or hard items or drop it, it's ceramic
I think the funniest thing is that both the warning sign AND the usage booklet would have told this guy that ceramic blades are extremely brittle and that you shouldn't apply unnecessary pressure to them. But oh well. To each their own, I suppose.
*breaks knife*
*notices he broke knife*
*continues to break knife*
"Uh, looks like that wasn't the best idea."
C'mon Jack.
well last time i checked chef knives are for food, not wood why do we care if it doesnt cut through wood :/
You should probably learn how to use a knife correctly..
Hurts my eyes everytime
MrClorkie Suddenly, Mario Profile Picture.
This give me a fantastic new recipe idea; celery salad with toasted wooden croutons !!! Garnished with the finest fragments of a ceramic knife.
XD
0 knife skills. -1 if it was possible.
9:08 jack learns how to use a peeler correctly
It is ceramic, of course it will break if you try to cut wood with it! jajaja
Problem comes down to lying. If your advert shows it doing something, it better will do it.
JamesCizuz Does the yoshi blade say it cuts through wood? probably not because it's not a saw, its a knife, unless it was maybe serrated, no knife will cut through wood. Because it's no designed to. Anyway don't trust Jack, his reviews will always go beyond what they're meant to, because he doesn't like the product. His metal knife wasn't shaping up to well against the yoshi blade , so he has to think of something that will definitely make his knife look good. He's biased.
Jrenyar I'm not defending jack but yeah it does say it can go through wood. If you say or show a product doing something; it better do it.
JamesCizuz Where does it say that? Show me a source and I'll believe you, because I doubt people who make ceramic knives are stupid enough to say that. (FYI I've seen the advert and it doesn't say/show cutting wood anywhere)
you say it's a fail even though it's your fault for using it on wood.
did you also try to peel the spoon?
"The peeler seems to work nicely, so let's douse it in gasoline, set it ablaze, and run it over with a truck".
I have had a Yoshi knife ever since they first came out. Still have it and with a little knowledge you can sharpen them, but I'd suggest that you understand what your doing first.
First off, its a CERAMIC blade, that means NOT STEEL!!!! There are limitations to this type of knife. And if you'd care to watch the video again, you can cut just about anything with a ceramic blade that you canna steel blade.
I don't know many people that would try to cut a bone (or wooden spoon: ie; dumbass) with a steel knife let alone a ceramic one. Goes back to the old saying, "use the right tool for the job". You wouldn't try to put out a house fire with a fly swatter so why use a knife to try to cut through a bone. That's why the " cleaver" was invented.
As far as sharpening one, you have to get a stone that's specifically made to sharpen ceramic in order to do so. Knowing this idiot, he'd probably use a regular sharpening stone on this, or worse yet, one of those "quick sharpening" deals, you know, the one with the little steel blades in it that you either run your knife across, or you run it across your knife.. You know, the one he said he used to sharpen a surrated knife. Come on, most people know that if your going to sharpen a surrated blade knife, you take it to someone that has a machine specifically designed to sharpen it. And if your going to sharpen a steel bladed knife, please at least practice on a blade that you can throw away if your skills aren't up to the test.
I don't know everything, OK! But I've been sharpening knives now for about 50 years. It took me about a year to really get REAL good at it. And yes Jackie, there's more to sharpening a blade than just dragging it across a stone. If you think otherwise, I don't want you near my blades.
I'm glad he actually took the time to bend over and get the care instructions for the Yoshi. They are a great knife, once you learn the limits of it. Like I said, I cut everything with mine except for rocks, firewood and dinosaur bones.
louis porcellini A little knowledge goes a long way!
some ways of preparing chickens have you pushing the blade down through several ribs. The warning about boneless is hopefully to prevent people from doing that
He is so bad, that im starting to think that he is Trolling...
it makes me cringe 😭
I've had a yoshi knife for several years and it is still very sharp. It is used everyday. However, I've never used it to saw wood. The comparison knife is cheap and I wouldn't allow it in my kitchen. Mine came with the peeler and it worked very well, but I prefer my old fashioned stainless steel peeler that must've cost $.75 when I bought it 40 years ago. To sharpen it I run the slit of the blade over the tip of the butchers steel.
Anybody else cringe watching him slice?
I laughed my ass off every time he chipped some of the knife off. XD
Sorry Jack, but your knife skills scare me 🙈
Can't believe he used a ceramic knife on wood and was surprised when it broke
Heh, as soon as he said 'I'm going to try to dull it' I said 'he's going to chip it!' Ceramic knives are not like steel knives! They are super super hard and you can not use them on hard things that would seriously dull steel knives. You're not supposed to use them on glass cutting boards either or, they say, with meat with bones... I don't have one (yet, I want one) but I am guessing the boned meat is only a problem if you actually hit the bone... I've never tried to slice through bone with any knife, and I'd use a boning knife to debone stuff anyway.
I can't recall using a slice of wood on any of my sandwiches.
If you've never had a wood sandwich, you're missing out.
Personally, I prefer a wood burrito.
...try a saw if your into cutting wood.
you're*
Diamond whetstones will sharpen that blade. It is made from transformation toughened zirconium oxide so, it is about 8.5 on the Moh's scale of hardness, where diamond is 10.
Yeah but using a stone mangles your blade more than it does sharpen it. A tump will sharpen the hell out of almost anything, and without mutilating it. But they're also expensive and not easy to use.
Why are you slicing the sausage while it is in the plastic...
A lot of people do that. I think its just easier than removing all of the plastic from the sausage. If you think about it, it also keeps the sausage "Fresher" because you still have about 90% of the original vaccum sealed package on it.
Really?! I would think the plastic would be harder to remove this way! That's interesting, I'll have to try it that way then. :)
It is kinda weird when you think about it..... I'm not sure which way is "Better" but I've always seen people cut through sausage and cheese with the plastic still on them. Hm, wonder who first thought of that idea.....
Ceramic is harder than steel, which also means its more brittle. Since its so sharp, a ceramic blade rarely(possibly never) needs to be honed or sharpened. Ceramic has to be sharpened with diamond. Since its so brittle, cutting something hard could break the blade. Don't cut bones, frozen foods, or anything hard. They make a good knife for processing vegetables and fruits, but I'd stray away from using it to carve or debone.
That is pretty stupid. You have to use a tool, for what it is made for. Ceramic knives (even the expensive ones) are amazing to cut fruit (acidity usually degrade metal and makes knives dull), vegetables, meat... for hard cheeses (or soft cheeses), wood (wtf!!!) and other things, you use a different knife!
Yes - this knife is not made for morons. And if anyone believes that a knife is staying sharp forever... well I don’t know about this person...
I’m watching old videos but the are still great. I use ceramic knives also. I love the sharpness but I dropped one on the floor and it shattered so I wasn’t surprised when your broke
*warning! read before opening!*
"pfff. stupid."
*slice*
"ooh there goes my thumb."
A much better test would be a quality PROPERLY sharpened straight edge knife VS the Yoshi blade. The yoshi may be sharp out of the box, but i would imagine it wouldn't stand up to a decent stainless steel knife that is properly maintained. It seems the target market for the yoshi is people who don't know how to care for a knife. Those are the kind of people that will end up chipping the blade. I am sure most yoshi owners put their knife in the dishwater.
"never needs sharpening" is just marketing BS. ALL knives will dull at some point. It's best to stay away from gimmicks and get a real knife and learn how to maintain it.
You should ditch the silly serrated knife for a good/decent plain edge knife and a good sharpening system. I use a honing steel and spyderco triangle sharpmaker to maintain my knives. Works great.
Yeah, ceramic blades are extremely sharp and they have ridiculously good edge retention. However, they're not very easy or smooth to sharpen, should the blade dull. Thankfully that's not likely.
So hostile for what reason.
why so cocky
the problem is with such a thin edge, the chip VERY easily even on things they were made to cut
The knife didn't break but because you put it in the groove in the wooden spoon and the slight bend of the knife will cause it to chip as it is a ceramic knife. Its like when you drop your ceramic mug and it chips, your putting a force on the ceramic and causes it to chip.
Of course it broke. It's ceramic. It is very brittle and can't withstand what a steel blade could handle.
Ceramic blades are not designed to cut wood. That’s why they’re not used in survival knives.
Ahahahaha i really think its funny that hes trying to cut like a profesionall all fast and atuff but he cant and hes just messing up. Dude, slow down.
@MrMichael520 why. It doesn't really matter any more after the first break. 1 break or 5 breaks and it's still useless.
Someone get this guy out of the kitchen, forever.
RapiDSpacE13 His knowledge of cooking devices surpasses mine but as to his culinary skills, I can honestly say I am unsure who would be more adept. Granted my knowledge has been imparted from various sources including family, friends, and professional chefs.
Clarification: I am not saying that I, by any means, am anything more than an amateur; I am merely implying that I have been watching and learning from several sources. Lol
SS4Xanatos
Unrelated question, but does SS4 in your name represent anything?
RapiDSpacE13 Lol. Yeah. I created this name back in 2007 during my Freshman year of college. I am a big fan of both the Dragonball series and Star Wars. The SS4 stands for Super Saiyan 4. Xanatos is the Jedi-turned-Dark-Jedi Apprentice of Qui-Gon Jinn before he took Obi-Wan Kenobi as his Apprentice in lieu of Xanatos. :D
I knew it! Super Saiyan 4. DBZ for lyfe! Or GT, as you know, SS4.
RapiDSpacE13 :D
And when I say I am a Star Wars fan, I want to say I am a TRUE Star Wars fan - meaning a fan of what is now considered to be non-canon...97% of the storyline - the Expanded Universe. What Disney has managed to destroy/remake into their image, I consider to be an alternate timeline (it's the only way I can watch it and still be a fan of the franchise without raging over everything that was lost).
@SkateBoardingIsGnarr this house was build in the 60's and that was when women stayed home and cooked, cleaned and did laundry. They felt that this was convenient for the women to not have to leave the kitchen when they cooked or cleaned. All the houses in my neighborhood are build this way. Some have remodeled them and moved them somewhere else.
You can't cut diamonds with it?! What a piece of crap.
So what was the point with the knife cutting on wood?? And he scammed Wallmart.
idk how I ended up here but all these comments about the wood cutting thing have you ever seen commercials for these kind of knives? They show people cutting wood, or like this one did a pineapple, and then right to something soft like tomatoes. He was replicating the way the commercials show the knives and also in the very beginning he said "I don't know the best test for knives" so ....
They didn't show the Yoshi blade cutting wood. a Ceramic blade is good because it stays sharp and if you take care of it it won't break.
***** yes they did wen the yoshi blade`s first comershial
Well yeah but they don't do it with CERAMIC KNIVES, any half wit wouldn't do that.
GamerGirl do you have a link to it on youtube? The only ones i found showed the blade taking filings off a sharpening(straightening) steel. i can't find it ever being used on wood.
oh ill find it for you
Those Ceramic pans seem to be pretty worthless also. At least I have not had any luck with them. All of mine started sticking after a while.
hmm, if that leaves shards of sharp material when it breaks, it's not safe for food use... it could kill you if it chips off into some food and you don't notice in time.
I can assure you that it will not leave shards of sharp metal if it breaks (since it is a ceramic knife)
haha, point taken... but if it leaves shards of sharp *anything* it's not suitable for use with food
I don't think you will be cutting wood to eat so I wouldn't worry about it breaking
Might be cutting meat with a bone.
Good point but you should really be using a boning knife
I have had my Yoshi blade for years. If you read the instructions it tells you not to use it on marble and other products. I love it and this is the knife I use on everything. You can even use it on meats with bones.
:i dont know how this stuff works" ... its a knife and a peeler....
@ThorMaxx Yes. I will use this new one on veggies, but can I cut carrots, what if I hit the pit of an avacado. That's what bothers me. Not sure when it will chip.
Damascus chef's knives on ebay for $40, that's all you'll ever need. Learn to sharpen them and they'll serve you well for a good long time.
You were doing a pretty good job…but then you lost me when attempting to cut the wooden spoon.
You need one of those kid's safety knives. And a helmet.
@FrailShiver Glad you had a great Thanksgiving. Thanks for watching.
dem crazy knife skills tho
The reason it broke is because extreme tension is caused when sawing something like wood and you dont saw completely straight. Its the same reason the saw locks up when you're trying to saw and you accidently saw off in a slightly different direction. Metal just bends when this happens, this blade is ceramic, ceramic doesnt bend.
DSP of cooking
who that?
underrated comment, im sorry but I had to necro it
Sharp yet brittle. I don't know what you expected from ceramic. Even a diamond blade would have broken with the wood test.
I was watching Avengers Age of Ultron Trailer.... how did I ended up in here?
Was Ultron cutting Celery in the trailer?
***** Alahu Akhbar
end******
+Hal Jordan You were drunk FACEPALM!
Hard cheese = Parmesan, Romano, and the like, soft cheese = colby, cheddar, mozzarella, Swiss and the like... if you’ve spent time around food you don’t need to send cheese out to be tested to tell if it’s a hard cheese or not.
I wanna scream at you.
"The yoshi blade, stays sharp in your stomach"
ceramic not made to go through wood LEL
I bought a Yoshi Blade years ago and I hated it right out of the box. My #1 problem with the knife is the rubber handle material is molded around the heel of the blade. This means you can't get the blade flat on the cutting board. A rocking chop is impossible with this knife.
On the other hand, the peeler is absolutely amazing and works as well today as is did when I bought it. Since the peeler literally never comes into contact with anything but food (no cutting boards or anything) the blade stays perfect.
do you even know how to respect things even they dissapoint you, you dont respect the knife after its broke because your own unintellegent experiment with wood, you dont even know Mosh Scale, learn anything else except cooking
The Polish version of this product actually has in the instructions that if the knife chips even a little, you have to throw it out, because it becomes dangerous, as it can chip more in those places even on soft produce.
Stop doing this cause you cant handle food, and you are really bad handling the knifes and kitchen equipment overall lol
Itchio Bunghole k
I have a Yoshi Blade, I've had it for over 10 years and it cuts just like it did on day one. One of my favorites. I had the vegi peeler, but one of my kids dropped it on the floor and it shattered. The peeler was my favorite as well.
wow, imagine all the uncut wood in your house... sick
The amount of cringe here is amazing.
@PammieChan I was just using the wood to dull the blade.
well, probably never going to watch more from you...
ceramic knives are extremely brittle, yet very hard, the fact that they are very hard means that you will have a longer lasting edge under normal circumstances. however the knife's Achilles heel, is that it cannot bend particularly well, and it doesn't handle being used on bony meat, and other hard food that might bend it while you cut.
Sharpening a ceramic knife is no problem, its essentially the same process as sharpening steel blades, but since it is harder than steel you need something harder than a ordinary sharpening rod, you need one, either in a harder kind of ceramic, or one with tiny diamond particles. a diamond sharpening rod is better on a steel knife aswell.
Not a genius are you? It's ceramic! Not meant to cut wood. Mong!
dude why are you ackting like yo have never seen wood geting cut its not exsideing
lpskristen g If you could spell, I would graciously respond. But to that I say, asphinctersayswhat....
ok im just an littel kid
Where is your parents then little mong? They shouldn't be letting you scour the Internet at 5 years old!
Jack I like your vids, but it was quite a stupid idea to cut wood with a ceramic knife...
Ceramic blades suck. They are too fragile, and only idiots like them. If you drop it on the floor, it will break, or even shatter. On a good day, I'm really clumsy, and drop stuff all the time, so I'll take metal any day. I have knives that are decades old, and when properly sharpened with a stone and steel, they'll do just a good of a job, and do NOT fall apart.
Well, If you're not a clumsy idiot with knives, then it wouldn't shatter, now would it?
Kenny McCormick I'm not a clumsy idiot, just clumsy, because I have Rheumatoid Arthritis in my hands and wrists.
Wasn't saying you specifically.
Kenny McCormick No harm, no foul. Nice save. Let's work best with the things that work best for us. Perhaps I was too harsh in saying only idiots like them. I just have a need to rely on a knife that won't shatter when my hands stop working, and I can't hold on to things. I'm sorry if I offended you in my original statement.
Thaneii It's fine. Sorry it seemed like a snapped.
when properly fired it can be nearly as hard as steel, but the point of ceramic knives isnt their blade strength its the fact that the edges never corrode.
@Msjanedoe124 neither are metal knives. It was the perfect dulling test.
yes it does because it states "Since they are brittle they may break if dropped on a hard surface,and cannot be used for chopping through bones,or frozen foods" and a wood spoon is just as hard as bone
It did not fail as a knife. He did say it cuts great. I have never ever tried cutting wood with a kitchen knife. That is why utility knifes are made from thicker steel.
The blade is ceramic, similar to porcelain. Obviously if you put enough pressure on it (seeing as how it's really thin) of course it's going to break especially with any stray from a truly straight cut. It says it'll dull slower than your average blade, and this is true, use it to cut many things that would normally dull an average blade, not a wooden spoon...
if you're cutting lettuce for example, it wont get brown in a day or two as it would had you cut it with a metal knife, ie it wont oxidize. that is what ceramic knives are good for.
@iLovemusic3124 it's ceramic. A brittle hard white very sharp stone material
Have not used it that much in the past year, about once a week mostly just to open small plastic bags that veggies come in. Quickly lost it sharpness to the point that I'm lucky if it just tears the bag.
I know people are talking about him trying to cut the wood, but I would be bothered with the constant impact of the knife on a wood, tile or metal surface. Even the smallest shard of that knife can cause internal bleeding if swallowed, and I wouldn't want to take that chance. Plus, I'm wondering how durable it is if dropped or knocked onto the floor or into a deep sink.
Ceramic knives will not corrode in harsh environments,are non magnetic,and do not conduct electricity at room temperature. Because of their resistance to strong acid and caustic substances,and their ability to retain a cutting edge longer than forged metal knives,ceramic knives are a much more suitable culinary tool for slicing boneless meat,vegetables, fruit and bread.Since they are brittle they may break if dropped on a hard surface,and cannot be used for chopping through bones,or frozen foods
I have this set. Have had it for years. Mine chipped several times and I can assure u I didn't cut wood or bone. Mine actually broke right in half this morning cutting squash. 🤷🏼♀️ My peelr also broke a while back. I won't purchase another one but I did love this knife. I'd love to know of a different brand I might love so I can replace this one.
I love my Yoshi Blade. It's the first knife I reach for. Worth the $15 I paid for it. Just take care of it, and it'll last a long time.
It has its own purpose. You wont buy a serrated bread knife to do fine cuts on vegetables, same for in the shop, you wouldn't buy a wrench to hammer in nails, even though it could, it'd probably break.
hey jack.i'm no scientist in any way,but i'm pretty sure the ceramic blade chipped because of the sudden heat caused by the friction of cutting through wood.stones exploding and cracking in a campfire is a similar example.
"Hey, look at this, read before opening" "Stupid..."
Flicks it away. Friggin' hysterical.
@Jonesman08 I will start wearing it again if you want. the other one was bigger, but now I am losing weight, I will go back to the sauce apron. :D
I really hope people understand that ceramic knives are not meant to cut hard ideams. Even says so on the package but I guess if you just toss them aside you can blame the knife
@kenziekae02 to dull the blade. it claims it stays sharp forever.
Ceramic is much stronger than steel, which also means it is more rigid and inflexible (brittle) so it wont fair well if you drop it. I'm not sold on the Yoshi blade, but Kyocera makes pretty good ceramic knives. The downside is that you have to send it in to get resharpened and are expensive.
Knives I found whether $1 or $100 will dull in time...the basic difference is how long it will take to dull it...even the Miracle Blades. Further, I've had 2 of these knives...one cracked when I drop it and the other's handle came loose from the blade.
Ceramic blades can be resharpened, I believe Kyocera (sp?) of Japan has a lifetime guarantee on their knives, as well as a sharpening service specifically for the knives they sell. As far as ceramic blades go they are the top of the line, but again you are not going to find one of their knives on sale at WalMart for $20.00, either. Most Kyocera's I have seen begin at over $100.00 and up.
i have had several ceramic knives and love them they stay sharp and yes you can't cut frozen or bony meats but i would use a butter knife to cut steak. all knives have a purpose and not all knives can do everything.
The knife is good for what it was designed to do... but if you read the care & maintenance guide he tossed out, it's for slicing, not for cutting hard cheese or carving with meat/poultry with bones, etc.
I wold say it passed the test, for what it supposed to do.
