I also wondered how sharp it is, but mostly out of curiosity rather than thinking it might be too dull to be useful.
Sharp is great while it lasts, but sharp is very ephemeral at best. For things like cutting tomato or other items with smooth skin, a blade has to be super sharp or it just begins to ride on the surface. A polished edge sharp enough to melt through tomato skin just doesn’t last. It soon rolls, and it doesn’t take much roll, before it starts that annoying riding on the surface.
I suspect that those blades work quite well, but as they mentioned in the video they are plated with toothy and cannot be sharpened while still keeping the toothy, or as they call it “jaggedness”. I wonder how long they perform well before having to be sent back to Japan for replating.
An interesting idea and I have to applaud their quest for everlasting toothiness. It would be fun to have one to try. Thanks for posting that.
