Low Budget Knife Skills (video)

At my publisher's suggestion ("We understand the Interwebs are very popular today"), I'm doing a series of basic knife skills videos. Fellini it ain't.

 Nice of you to notice. I was wondering if anyone would catch that it was a Nenox. The sad truth of it is that it's the only 8" chefs/gyuto that I use regularly. I generally use a 240mm (9.5") or 270mm (10.5") knife, but they don't fit into the shot as well. You can't see both hands.
I love the ergonomics of the Nenox line. I also have a 270mm Corian handled gyuto, a 300mm quince gyuto, a 100mm petty/parer and a 285mm slicer from them. All are truly excellent knives. Of course I buy them used from people who suddenly realize what they paid for them and can't justify it,  so the price isn't such a shock.

Good stuff. Look forward to more. Had a friend trying to convince me to buy a set of German knives a coupla weeks ago. One of my main points of reluctance is my lack of basic skills . . . something I'm very aware of every time I cook.

Cool. I'm international now!
I'd forgotten that Jen was going to Yerp. I hope she's having a fun and safe trip.

You guys are obviously chefs. A meat cutter wouldn't go near a knife like that. That big fat blade would just get in my way. Doesn't make it wrong, just different.

Really nice video, Chad. I have some good kitchen knives at home, but never really thought about the best way to use them - so thanks for sharing.
In future episodes, are you going to show us how to correctly stab badass dudes?
