Facebook / Fruit Fruits 88 Despite having grown up eating durians, many Southeast Asians are still utterly clueless about battling its mercilessly spiky husk with thorns sharp enough to pierce even the most calloused hands. But to this Australian man, cutting open the “king of fruits” is no biggie. On Nov 21, Fruity Fruits 88 – a fruit store in Woodville, South Australia – posted a video on its Facebook page featuring salesman Simon. In the video, Simon effortlessly cut open a durian, which – according to him – was a Malaysian variety grown in Darwin. “Just find the end here…” he said as he inserted a knife into the bottom of the durian, right in the middle. Facebook / Fruit Fruits 88 “…and then you can just pry it open like so,” he continued as he twisted the knife with minimal strength. In less than 10 seconds, Simon had already sliced the husk almost halfway through.

In a YouTube video, knife maker Walter Sorrells says the knife steel is more of a “tune up” tool between sharpenings that can make a knife cut better by scratching up the edge and raising “microscopic teeth” along the blade. But overuse will round the edge too much and will require more sharpening on a stone-like surface.With that in mind, we tried some hacks … [Read more...] about How to sharpen a knife with household objects
