  • this goes back further than 2021. They started off calling them viking knives, to cash in on the viking craze around the show Vikings. Then they switched to calling them japanese knives, same knife. I think that was like 2013

    A rule of thumb or red flag if you wanna say it that way... is when someone offers to sell me knife saying it always stay sharp and never dulls i know they are full of shit.
  • @TheodoreM-wp6cs
    I was just gifted one of these along with my two brothers in law from my well meaning father. Everyone thought they were so cool but I knew right away when I saw them that they were junk. Oh well it’s the thought that matters!!!

    Dont defend those youtube influencers. They actually used the knife and you can clearly see them struggle to cut through bananas, tomatoes ect, i saw the car repair guy struggle to cut through packaging plastic with it. They obviously knew at that moment that the knife is not good yet they chose to continue. The harsh reality is that their honest opinion can be bought. Cant trust them after that. And you know whats worse? They have millions of subscribers, they would survive skipping one sponsor. But they didnt, because they value money more than integrity and they know thier subscribers are fools who will accept an apology video.

    Huusk again? I bought four of these in 2018 or 2019 for a costume gag I was doing. They are typical $10 fantasy knives widely available from China. The only thing wrong with them is all of the lies they tell to sell them, and the dopey multiple purchase discount. I am surprised so many people fall for it. That said, I think I paid $50 for the four of them. It saved me two or three hours of labor to make what I wanted out of aluminum. I still have them around somewhere. The wife uses one of them for digging in the garden.

    I made a knife out of O1 tool steel and....i couldn't even drill through the handle to attach a wooden grip, even using my milling machine with carbide drill bits. It never got dull because i hardened it so well. Consult your local knife maker or blacksmith instead of these large corporations pumping out garbage.
  • @cisco1138
    The packaging displays Japanese writing, I did a google image translation, in English it translates to "myth". That would be the only accurate statement huusk has made! 🤔
  • @ok4377
    Same as Coolina now- ads popping up everywhere. When a brand advertises knives as "Big, badass kitchen knives for men" and does not provide any info about the steel used, then you know what's up......
  • @SteelHex
    Upvoting and commenting so the algorithm will pick this up. Cedric and Ada is an outstanding channel, so this huusk scammer should not be getting away with it.
  • @Mat-kr1nf
    Really, why would anyone want to counterfeit that pile of crap?🤷‍♂️🤣🤣
  • @Krittercon
    One thing I find odd when I first saw Huusk appear was how similar it was to the Kamikoto scam... And yet out of the few videos I've seen of each knives, it feels as if these two knives, despite being practically the same scam, never gets mentioned as being a similar examples of each other... Granted, Kamikoto came in much earlier...
  • @dfailsthemost
    Yay, Pete. He doesn't lie for views. Youtube isn't how he pays his bills. Youtube is just how he pays for buying knives lol
  • @deanmerchant203
    I would never buy that crap. I like to cook and collect pretty decent knives. Too good to be true on the price. Thanks for the video. Calling out crap products is awesome to see
  • @jakekreeger5318
    Wait, people thought Huusk were anything other than cheap knives 😂😂😂 I have one, it’s a novelty, honestly I’m surprised that it was such a celebrity brand
  • @philsturgill3435
    Huusk knives is a totally unethical company. Back around 1999 or so I made the mistake of ordering one of their blades and they tried to make me pay for their “special” package where I was to “save” a great amount money so they sent me 8 of them and tried to make me pay for them. It took about a year to get them off my back and I had to threaten them with a federal fraud case before they just gave in and gave me the knives. It was a thoroughly disgusting experience. To boot, the blades are shyte.
  • @thomaslutro5560
    My dad fell for this a few years ago, and bought one each for my brother and me as a present. Ergonomics is s**t, the steel is s**t. These are even worse than the Rambo survival knives of the eighties (Be ware of cheap copies). I left a one star review on Trust pilot, which was taken down after a short while because I couldn't produce a receipt. That could be seen as fair in and of it self, but there's no way to justify removing negative reviews from customers who could produce a receipt (of which there must be thousands). Quoting Crocodile Dundee might be in place here: "That's not a knife."
  • @markwood8824
    I got stung by this scam. They had the nerve because they had my information to try to sell me more six months later. They were surprised at my response. I've noticed recently that they're selling under a new name now, and the scam continues
  • @artmcteagle
    I left a reasonably polite comment, critical (called it a scam) of the Lomi composter (sponsor on a YT channel) and got banned for a bit on YT for breaking their community guidelines! YT seems to censor anyone disrupting their bottom line (cash, baby!), so no, your advice about 'commenting' is a bit naive.
  • @tikkidaddy
    As Pete pointed out in his latest video, 420J2 has been used as a CLADDING steel for a very long time because of its toughness and rust resistance in San Mai style knives where the actual steel that forms the cutting edge is sandwiched in between 2 layers of it. Its not 1810 which is in fact a pot and pan stainless. 1810 heavy walled with a well attached encapsulated bottom on a pot or pan makes great everyday long use cookware, I have some that's over 30 years old . But its not knife steel. Its not even VG1 let alone Vg10. HUUSK is an IG rapid sale boot scraper knife brand sold to uninformed consumers. They sell the sizzle not the steak, and as we all know its Halloween season, but not even Michael Myers would be caught dead using it😂

    was gifted one for christmas a couple of years ago. at the time it was marketed as a butcher knife, which was more believable to me because the blade shape and finger hole grip could potentially aid in skinning and breaking down some meats. I raise meat rabbits on the property and can butcher them just fine, but i can do that just as well with any of my kitchen knives, or fixed blades for that matter. i could definitely tell it was a cheap scam knife when i got it and havent even used it enough to get dull. it's sitting in a box in the shed. i've seen the same knife advertised 100 different ways since then
