Carrot Katsuramuki with Sugimoto Slicer, Global Yanagiba, and mini tip “How NOT to cut yourself”

“The purpose of art is to communicate what the artist is feeling through their medium of work” A lot of people start Youtube in order to boost their ego, in pursuit of money, fame, or maybe they didn’t start that way, but they run their channel that way. Look at so called online knife / EDC community. You see the endless list of similar contents. That’s because everybody is emulating, everyone is after view count. Because what they want is success. They are not artists. They are business people. They have nothing that they want to say, they want to share with you through this medium. So, instead of making the contents they want to make, they are making contents that will most likely get the audience attention, the video gets more views. I make videos the way I want to make. Sugimoto Slicer is highly recommended, if you want something high performance that is at reasonable price. NOT recommended if you want something collectable, something to look at. Perhaps, I've been watching too many Van Neistat's video... Carrots and cucumbers are easier to come by. And the condition is more consistent wherever I pick them up. Green onion (negi) is also easy to get. (Trader Joe's have them, for example.) They are better than tomato, for the knife "cutting performance test". (Tomato cutting actually doesn't tell you anything other than "initial bite" of the edge.) [Disclaimer] I take absolutely no responsibility if you cut yourself while trying to do katsuramuki with carrot, cucumber, daikon radish, or whatever. You try it with your own risk.
