A test

~A Test~

Hello!

Well, usually my blog is full of pictures and less words, so now I'll put more words and less pictures.

At least for this post. =D

I wanna talk a bit about knives.

Yes.

The favorite weapon of killers in slasher flicks! Haha. That bloody, sharp, offensive... Just joking.

I'm currently about to run a test of "cutting ability". I believe that a well sharpened plain edge (the normal type of edge, which is the part u cut with) cuts tomatoes and bread better than a normal serrated edge (the type that most bread and tomato knives are, with teeth).

Anyone wants to argue?

Here are the candidates:

On top we have the RM36 IKEA 365+ Ginstra bread knife, featuring serrated edge.

And at the bottom we have the US$ 9.90 (RM 30.626 but costs me ~RM 65 after transport and tax) Kai PureKomachi2 Chef's knife, featuring plain edge hand honed by ME! Haha!

And to test, these are going to a friend who baked bread. She will use them exclusively for bread only and let me know the results! They will go out tonight!

I hope the purple one wins cos I LOVE purple! Silver is overrated! HAha!!

Feel free to debate. =D

i think you may be right that the plain edge will beat the serrated in cutting bread, but that's only with a very sharp and well maintained plain edge. A serrated edge will cut well for a longer period of time with minimal maintenance. cheers! :P

Sweet!
Plain 1 - Serrated 0

And the verdict is!! A plain edge is better!!

"pinky gives a very easy slice, with less see-saw motion effort to cut through
and it creates less crumbs, and has a very nice, clean edge
the ikea one, is not so nice performing i guess. but when u touch d edge, it is less sharp. it's action is dependent on the serrated edge i guess. more crumbs fell out
but it cuts equally well la
maybe gotta press a bit more and see saw a bit more that's all"
