Transcript

I just got this knife for my birthday. It's the 8 inch Miyabi chef knife. We are going to cut all this produce and put it to the test. We have a zucchini. We have an onion. Look at that. Next we have an orange. Too easy. Next a grapefruit. Last the toughest one, a sweet potato. And this is my old knife. It was sharpened not too long ago. Let's try the sweet potato. I don't have to say anything else.
