After the fifth tomato, I had to know how my knife did. Without a decision, Hemjar announced that he “kept the second in the second to the second.” I felt the responsibility of this knife, and a little embarrassment, unless I remember that his knife came out of the box straight and without a factory. On the other hand, my knife, my test was regularly used in the kitchen for more than six months, which was only occasionally honored. In addition, I noted protectively that these tomatoes appear to be larger than those who use their test during the main battery.
It continued the other four foods: potatoes, cheese cubes, babies carrots, and Kings Hawaii rolls, the latter was selected for their most uniform entry.

Bread rolls were also used in testing.

The thing to understand is, my knife was not particularly good, but I was able to get praise for the process of scout testing and data collection.
Even with the robot, it took a long time to collect data of this quantity. Every piece of food was packed and removed, the knife is wiped out, cleaned and dried after each stroke, staying cool in the room, all this is happening during the weekend.
Once he got all that data and made dozens and dozens of charts and graphs, what did he learn?
“How scattered the results.”
According to this test, the knife of the three chefs was quite amazingly terrific, performing well in the board: a spine classic hollow edge, a maratka hamuno, and a tojero professional. The number four was weird: $ 300 Westhovs (very similar to their wonderful classic but with a different bolster and handle) accelerated everything other than carrots, in which it was bad. The last two slots, 20 and 21, also a Henkels Classic and the $ 18 Zoling solution were well protected by the fine edge.
Nevertheless, more than two-thirds of the test group, from the middle to 19, mentioned when he said that “scattered”, performing well in a category and performing poorly in the other.
“You think an excellent tomato knife will make an excellent knife of potatoes,” he said before noting that it was not necessary. “It’s bananas.”
Tomatoes are a real test of slicing capacity.

In the upper part of its rating, they feel like three knives as a safe stream. Even I would feel great about lumping there. And if I was considering buying one of the two down the list, I would give up the idea. But in the middle of the 15th? What do they think about?
For his part, Scott appreciated his lack of prediction.
“No one has made such a diagnosis,” he said. This may be the first time that we can understand that what is important for tomatoes is different, which is important for potatoes. ” “When you get such answers in science, these are the most interesting.”
So what Is Best for tomatoes?
I thought he was going to make the blades public, but instead he told Vasthef Amisi, which, especially the well -driven peak, which has been cut for only one time.
