Can anyone identify this type of knife he uses?

If you look at the embossing on the knife cover it says 'Almazan Kitchen'. a quick googling comes up with the following website.

https://almazanknives.com/

it's $89.


edit: hold on a sec.. The entire youtube page is Almazan kitchen. it's their page. The description even says where you can buy it from them

The style of knife is called a Santoku

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Santoku

Its a Japanese knife designed for slicing, chopping and dicing. Great knives but a huge PITA to keep sharp as they blunt very easily.

You can get them from £10 upwards.

It's not really a Santuko the blade is far too tall, sort of Santuko/cleaver hybrid. Looks like one of those knives that people who like to show off at barbeques twice a year would get .

You can get Chinese cleavers that'll do the same job for a fraction of the price.

Google 'Chuletera'

A decent well sharpened small cleaver will do the same job.

I get it though. If he pulled out his generic plastic handled commercial chefs knife to make this video, it wouldn't look half as cool.

I had to laugh, I clicked the link and saw that straight away and was wondering if I'd missed something.... Good detective skills though

Honestly think that knife is just too pointlessly high, why make your life more difficult?

It's the whole outdoors, rustic old knife, sharpened on a whetstone, campfire cooking, kill your dinner/cut your hair/shave your face/chop firewood with my grandad's old knife, owned by 5 generations of slack jawed yocals look.

Who cares if it's any good for the job.
