IS THERE A BEST TEST FOR YOUR KNIFE?!

We've tried lots of different ways to test a knife. From hard dense veg, soft fleshed tough skin veg, fish, meat, all kinds of paper, shaving our arms/faces and even a a specialized tool! And while all these tests DO show a part of the knifes performance, I don't think theres any one single BEST test other than just making dinner!

Go through a heavy root veg for roasting and soups? After some experimentation you may find the 1/4" thick bone cleaver probably isn't the best tool for the job even though it scored sub 50 on the BESS edge tester.

And a thin knife that flies through sweet potatoes with a mediocre edge isn't going to do you any favours when you're trying to thinly slice a tomato for a sandwich.

These tools and tests have their merit, and they're all fun to play with. But nothing is as important as the tasks you're actually doing to test a knife!
