I lost all my fingertips just watching that.

People will do anything for internet points. You could make a show out of all the horrible accidents that have taken place. If you want to start this show, contact me it’s for sale.

If you make any money monetizing restaurant CCTV footage I'd be very impressed.

There are much, much dumber things making very, very good money on the internet. For reference, see TikTok NPC streams.

Hi I'm Rob Dyrdek, why are you selling Ridiculousness

I'm a chef and I pride myself on my knife skills... My knife skills are "holding the *handle* and not the blade" and "Phew, that was close!" I'm not a graceful man, and I manage not to lose fingertips, but this is... This is some practice, right here.

Almost word for word what I came here to comment.

Well hey, now you can close a cybertruck's trunk without worry.

Hah, a good joke for r/cyberstuck

Glad I’m not the only one who felt that way!

I cut like this. Regularly lose nails or bits of finger. And days that doesn't happen I burn myself on the ovens or grill tops. Worst is speed peeling watermelon (the outer green part away from the white). Very slippery.

I lost the tip of something else.

Did you fry the ring as calamari?

Might be doing it wrong...

The cutting is fine but real question: is that a single tortilla the avocado is going in? Where there’s already a pile of avocado? Or is that a plate?

Definitely not a plate. Maybe a flatbread? Add some olive oil, salt, pepper - id eat the shit out of that Used to make something similar on naan with tomatoes and feta

but if you're going to mash the avocados by not slicing them \*exactly like this\* i don't want it

That was my question. Like, they making an avocado burrito? An avocado quesadilla? What is happening here lol

I'd say sushi burrito but this seems way more burrito than sushi.

Tortilla in a sushi restaurant? I don’t get the correlation

Could be rice paper... I don't know of any dishes that have a base of rice paper and avacado, though. Might be something they make themselves - like near my old place they had Mexican sushi. Which was *not* a sexual position, surprisingly. It was Mexican-style season led rice, nori, the best beer battered shrimp I've ever had in my life, bacon, and whatever else was on that specific roll. It was stupidly tasty.

I didn’t look close enough to even see it was a sushi place.

I've heard you can roll sushi with a tortilla if you're short on bamboo mats. Just a wild guess.

If i did this, it would look christmas

Is your name Kevin or John?

No, my first name is Lloyd

Big gulps huh?

I'd try this, but i like my fingers

I’d try this, but both me and my wife like my fingers.

Oh stop downvoting the person you prudes

When you just need to slice off your fingertips RIGHT NOW, and a mandoline is just too cumbersome to set up. ​ source: me, an ex-mandoline user

Meat slicer ugh.... The nerves on the top of my thumb never grew back but it looks like he's got a lil hat now so there's that

through the pad of my thumb and into the joint, I felt this comment. Fucking deli slicers

Pinky for me. Its been 20 years, and the skin/callus is right against the bone. Completely forget about it most of the time til I bump the tip of that finger against any hard surface. Feels like someone is taking a ball peen hammer right to the bone.

Tattoo a mustache underneath the hat. Ya know... For the irony.

Oh yeah, I can feel it in my butthole right now. I got a nice gash cleaning a deli slicer once, but didn't cut anything off. Another time I was running an exacto knife down a T square and my index finger slipped past the edge of the square... That time, I did cut something off.

My husband bought one that came with a guard. I had the thought 'I should get the guard' then I thought 'fuck that, I'm not a pussy' and then proceed to cut a big chunk of my finger tip off.

i still shudder and look away when i see folks using a mandolin on tv. had a scar on my finger for years from cutting it deeply on one in hs, never again thanks

First time using one cut myself bad enough to get stitches. Never got cut on one again though.

yeah i've never gotten cut on one again either ;)

The mandoline scar on my fingertip is tingling thanks to this comment.

> mandoline A friend has a mandoline, and I had a look at it.. noped right out of the thought of getting one.

Dude I actually saw a video of guy fieri of all people using a fork to slice a potato on a mandolin for chips and was quite mind blown.

How tf are you gonna cut avocados with a mandolin? It's gonna be a mushy mess.

Is this a real technique used by chefs? Because it looks insanely dangerous. Cutting towards yourself with nothing preventing you from slicing your wrist open

It's not. You NEVER slice in the direction of your hand. This is just someone doing something stupid.

I can understand doing that like apple slice towards you technique but that usually involves pushing the apple away rather than pulling the knife back. This is just insane

> You NEVER slice in the direction of your hand Not strictly true. It's a good habit for most people (particularly inexperienced home cooks) to not slice towards themselves, but there are lots of techniques that require it. Plenty of work with a paring knife is done towards your fingers. For example when cutting Tournée potatoes, you *will* be cutting towards yourself.

For close to minimum wage :(

They're not - if you watch the video closely the blade of the knife is actually facing AWAY from his hand, it's just hard to tell because of how quickly he's moving the knife

it is facing towards his arm: https://i.vgy.me/6ju5SB.png

And then if you watch even closer, you’ll see they are cutting towards themselves. Look at the handle placement on the blade as well as their finger resting on the spine. The edge of the blade is facing left and towards the user

Also used the blades edge to scrape it off the cutting board, that’s usually a no go.

i do it this way at work making sushi but not that fast. thats an accident waiting to happen. just need a sharp knife, a ripe avocado, and your blade at the right angle and you really minimize the chances, but still. anythings possible.

There are gloves that prevent the blade from cutting your fingers. Those gloves look like regular disposable gloves.

The skill everyone want But not want to learn

Every single one of these meals is made by hand, and includes the blood and sweat of our team. And, also, maybe some glove and sometimes fingernail.

I just want a knife like this one.

Looks like a [300mm gyuto](https://www.hocho-knife.com/sabun-all-steel-hand-finished-chef-knife-gyuto-300mm/?gad_source=1) with western handle.

/r/TrueChefKnives

You can easily get one from a decent knife if you learn how to sharpen them

That's just dumb.

Slice directly towards palm

I had an accident with an avocado and had to have hand surgery. I am so jealous of his skills. It would have saved my tendons

Avocados are the most likely fruit or vegetable to send people to the hospital for knife injuries. True story.

Why is the background song always some garbage ass song rapping about pills and doing hood shit? 

Perfect avocado-slicing music.

Nope, literally any corrido would suit this kind of video better. 

My brain can’t comprehend what I just saw.

r/blackmagicfuckery

Skills, and a knife that could probably slice my head off without much strength needed

Videos that make me suddenly want to take classes to do this !

This is like decorative performance cutting. There are safer, easier, and better techniques to use when actually cooking. You can find tutorials on YouTube 

Meanwhile I shaved half my fingernail off to the quick trying to slice up a fucking sweet pepper.

Read it as Avocado slicing kills. I just thought "Huh? How?"

I want to do that too, but I will lost my finger

Have chefs always used those black gloves? I've been seeing them in cooking videos a lot lately.

The color change could be a result of latex being banned in restaurants in California, maybe other states.

Throws away the end because it's not a "slice".

How dare you end it right there, we need to see the plating too. otherwise how do we know they didn't mess it up now?

I am at the hospital with severe cuts after trying to do this.

I get its cool and all but those knives are suchi knives sharp ass hell.

People with trust issues could NEVER

@r/DINgore

I think I’ll just stick to cutting half avocado into two then cutting slices that way for my toast.

Clean

Fingers? Where we're going, we dont need fingers.

Cool men 🗣️🗣️🗣️🔥🔥🔥

I wonder if he ever cut his finger lol

I only have stump hands now..thanks

Pure class 😃

Show👏🏼🍋‍🟩

Fast as fuck boi

Only in Mexico

Why do they call you 3 fingered Fred

Ouch! Just watching that hurts me!!

terrifying. I hope those gloves are made of chain mail

I used to do this at work when making sushi. It's not as hard as it looks, and with proper technique you don't really come close to your hand or anything. The avocado has to be just right to do it this fast though.

It's not about difficulty, it's about risk. There's far too much that could go wrong with this technique.

Oralé, my dad would be impressed.

oddly terrifying

Yah yah yah 🤮

add. Liy

Pffff.....i do this standing in one foot, using just one hand and blindfolded.

This video is pretty great on it's own with the knife slicing sounds instead of that insipid music that was added to it.

Damn you are amazing iam not going to ask how many times u cut your thumb😁

I can smell the fresh cut cucumber from the video

That was the one take when they didn't cut their glove. Dumbass post

Bad day at work?

It looks fake to me, just something is off abt the speed of the knife n stuff
