Handmade Kitchen Knife Reviews

[CarveKnives]

Hi all! I just wanted to put out a quick message regarding my new YouTube channel. It is called "Carve" and it is a channel where I will unbox/review/showcase handmade kitchen knives. I am a former knifemaker myself, but due to a lack of talent I have decided my time is better spent praising the real makers and what they can produce via my channel.

If anyone is interested in having your handmade kitchen knife showcased in a video, please feel free to message me here, or email carveknives@gmail.com, or message me on instagram C CarveKnives . I just want to make it clear, my sole purpose here is to make videos about these works of art that I'm absolutely obsessed with, and in no way am I looking for free knives or payment in any way whatsoever. In fact, my preferred approach once a maker contacts me is to provide full payment for the knife which the maker can then hold in good faith until they receive the knife back from me in the same condition in which I received it.

You can't really test a kitchen knife, or any knife for that matter, and return it in bnib condition.

Agreed. Just thinking about a kitchen knife in carbon steel like 52100. Let's say I made one and sent it to you. You use it, the patina forms, get scratches on the 800 grit hand rubbed finish (that takes a LOT of time and is achieved in a certain way for a certain look), and YOU are going to clean all that up and return it EXACTLY like it was NIB? Not going to happen.

But maybe you have no intention of actually using it, rather just "showcasing" the knife to show off its overall look. Not sure why I would want to send it to you, tho.
