Scott Heimendinger conducted an extensive analysis of 21 chef's knives using a robot arm to gather data on cutting efficiency. Named the Quantified Knife Project, the experiment involved slicing five different foods multiple times to generate a total of 100,000 data points. This data was used to create a ranking of the knives based on their performance. Heimendinger is also developing an ultrasonic knife designed for significant efficacy in home kitchens, set to release in 2025. The project exemplifies innovative approaches to culinary tools through technology.
Heimendinger has created the Quantified Knife Project, buying 21 chef's knives, testing them with a robot arm, and collecting 100,000 data points to rank their cutting efficiency.
The testing involved running each knife over five different foods, executing 525 individual cuts to accumulate extensive data for a comprehensive food cutting rank.
