    That was a good demonstration of how to julienne a carrot. I always tried doing it while it was round and without much success. Thanks for the video.

    No chef will use 2 knives on an onion i dont like how he held the knife make ppl get up on the blade with their thumb and index finger

    If he’s been sharpening knives for years why does he think the blade needs a 45degree angle on each side?

    Plenty of chefs think they know how to sharpen a knife but they don’t. Steels DO NOT sharpen the knife they hone and realign the edge….!

    Why use 2 knives to chop an onion? Waste of time in a busy kitchen IMO.

    Not the worst knife skills vid I’ve seen though.

    After seeing Chef Todd Mohr’s Cooking Coarse videos, everything else looks inappropriate (and boring)!!!

    Right and like u are so pro..pro enough to be in a show? U have to know the show has to assume its audience have no idea how to do it and have to learn from scratch and i think he did alright..

    Read what I said dude…..!

    Fine, go ahead, sharpen your knives with a 45 degree angle on each side…..!

    I don’t disagree whith what you said and I didn’t think this was a bad vid but people shouldn’t talk about things they don’t know about, that’s my point….!

    Oh and btw…..

    When it comes to sharpening blades I’am considered a pro amongst my piers and customers *winks*…..!

    He keeps repeating “45 degrees” but in fact, he’s holding it at the proper angle 10-20 degrees). The problem is not that he doesn’t know how to sharpen- he just doesn’t know his geometry.
