    Yeah. I’d walk out. I know Bell peppers can be hard for knives to cut but someone is literally going to lose a finger with those knives.

    My credit card cuts better than this knife

  3. I mean, thats so dull it wont spread butter evenly…

    I will literally never use a house knife. I bring my own and maintain them myself.

    This reminds me of the stark contrast between my current job and an old one from years ago. My current one gets the knives professionally sharpened twice a month.

    The old job would get them sharpened twice a year…

    What’s with gloves? Ventilated for cooler hands?

    At that point tear it apart with your hands and call it rustic

    The house knives are always shit. If you’re a chef, you should have your own and maintain your own. Just like a guitarist in a band brings their own instrument when they go to perform. My two cents anyway.

    I like it! It’s sharp like my mind

    I started bringing my own knives for this exact reason. We currently use a sharpening service but I am convinced that he just drives the knives to a hidden location and rubs them on the pavement a bit. We are unfortunately tethered to this service by ownership so now the whole staff brings their own. I have repeatedly explained how fucking DANGEROUS dull knives are, but for some reason that particular piece of information falls on deaf ears at a lot of places.

  11. Run the knife through the dishwasher and bang it against the table so it cracks the blade and gives you a serrated edge. 👍

    I’ve ruined lots of watches at work, also what’s with wearing gloves with holes in them, for bell peppers.this whole thing seems a bit weird

    A bad knife is more of a hazard than a good knife

  14. bigmedallas

    What are you doing with my mom’s knives?

  15. dick_hallorans_ghost

    I’ve seen suburban sixth graders with more of an edge than that

    One place I worked at, there was this generic crappy chef knife with a brown handle. When our knives went dull, we’d use that knife as a last resort, and it managed to be somewhat sharp. Despite going through the dishwasher twice a day. Got us all scratching our heads.

    It’s fucked up that your restaurant is serving bell peppers made of concrete

  18. this-is-NOT-the-way1

    I’m surprised the pepper didn’t cut the knife

  19. you can probably use the strap on the royale and it’ll cut better than that brick

  20. HindleMcCrindleberry

    TIL… Smithfield ham company makes knives.

    Use tip to stab slits spaces to desired size, place edge in slits, slice.

    I’ve been badgering my sous to get the manager to order some cheap whetstones and he keeps hesitating.

    I’m like bruh you don’t like the house knives, I don’t like the house knives, even the breakfast people hate them with a passion and they keep asking us for our personal knives!

    I don’t want to keep lugging my stones here for you guys! Get a damn whetstone!

  23. Legitimate-Log-6542

    Either that knife is shit or that bell pepper is made of wood

    Buy a knife. Hear me out, I promise I’m only slightly crazy but this isn’t why. Buy a GOOD KNIFE. Sure, your job has house knives; some places even pay their bills and sometimes those house knives are sharp. But if you buy a good knife, 80$, and maintain it, you can use that good knife at ANY and EVERY restaurant you work at.

    I looked for this knife and found a nice looking maker out of England: https://www.smithfieldknives.co.uk/

    …these are NOT their knives. Very different branding.

    This appears to be some promotional junk from Smithfield Foods: https://smithfield.sfdbrands.com/en-us/

    Frankly, if I were Smithfield Knives, I’d consider a Cease & Desist letter. Or, minimally, I’d send over a menacing Will Smith to yell at the execs: “Keep our knives’ name out your damn mouth!”

    Black gloves, and it would have been one pass.
    Blue gloves dull knives within proximity.
    Hot pink sharpens.

  27. ThinInvestigator4953

    Thats obviously the most powerful yellow bell pepper known to man.

  28. clogstomper

    Jesus christ replace that cutting board!

  29. RepostFrom4chan

    Shapen them? Would probably take less time than it did for you to record the video and post this.

  30. AdKind841

    the knife didn’t actually cut it, the pepper just felt bad for you

  31. Affectionate_Pool_37

    if the knife is sharp you might cut you’r self

  32. ReverendDerp

    Nothing beats one of my coworkers sharpening the dull side of a house knife so well, it was better than the original side.

  33. DNNSBRKR

    A dull knife is more dangerous than a sharp one. This video gave me whatever the opposite of satisfaction is.

    My tummy is upset and I’m mad about how dull this knife is.

    Some Hollywood film studio is wondering where their prop knives got shipped to
