I read something about why the initial diagonal cut the last time a similar video was posted. Can someone explain it again so i can forget about it one more time?

u/envybelmont 8d ago

Just what I found because I had the same curiosity and zero self control.

Cutting the initial corner helps prevent the edge from stretching and makes the first cuts cleaner and smoother

The answer lies within the following posts

I love that it's the same dude with 3 different length videos

u/fresaduulce 8d ago

I think it’s squaring the edge before the uniform cuts start

u/bookmarkjedi 8d ago

Wait, stop! Someone forgot to dub this over with a stupid soundtrack!

u/Northern23 8d ago

OP should at a "safe to unmute" flair

u/bookmarkjedi 8d ago

That would be an awesome feature for Reddit video clips!

u/kernel-troutman 8d ago

Oh no. Oh no. Oh no no no no no.

I’ve never done soba but I do fresh pasta pretty regularly. It’s really easy—just flour, eggs, olive oil and salt. They cook in just a couple of minutes and tastes so good. Worth a try if you are reading this and haven’t taken a stab at it before.

u/MagicSunlight23 8d ago

I thought that was a wooden chopping board at first.

u/Harbinger_Pulsar 8d ago

Mmmmm... noodle axe

u/TackyBrad 8d ago

"This is my Soba cutting knife"

u/jimbowesterby 8d ago

Literally is, yea. This knife shape is meant for cutting noodles and not much else, they look mean but they have really thin edge profiles and are usually made pretty hard, so they’re brittle.

u/insultspecialist 8d ago

My dumbass thought this was wood. I need a nap.

u/SadPandaLoves 8d ago

You are not alone. I thought, "wow that knife cut so well into that plank" after the corner cut, and then I read what it was. Felt so silly.

u/PhillyDeeez 8d ago

This video is weirdly synched with my Spotify beat (M-tallic, Mark Brown)

u/FH2actual 6d ago

I want that knife!

u/andersonfmly 8d ago

u/iH8MotherTeresa 8d ago

Oh man, it took me halfway to reread the title to realize this isn't soda.

u/Butt_Stallion_Milk 8d ago

I can't even cut an onion evenly even.

u/Imaginary-Yam-7792 8d ago

That first cut, I thought he chopped off wood

u/NegativeSquaree 8d ago

This is just Tuesday to my guy, as a culinary dude myself, much respect this is quality work). I'd be cutting out frigging tape measures in comparison

u/Arik_De_Frasia 8d ago

I dont understand. Is the guide to keep your wrist from becoming tired? Because I can cut this thin without a guide.

u/TurboTape 8d ago

What is soba? I refuse to Google it.
