    How to not suck at this:
    1. Choose a knife with Thin blade stock
    2. Also look for something Thin behind the edge
    3. Sharpened to really high grit for enhanced push cutting
    4. Cut close to where you are pinching the paper
    5.Utilize a slicing motion through the paper
    6. If all else fails ask to borrow the winners knife

    56 is insane, especially with how close Cole was shaving the paper too. Brilliant technique, excellent knife and clearly fantastic sharpness. That man knows his stuff.

    • @KatanaKamisama

      If you can manage to not "run out" the edge, I think cutting closer is better. Because the cut off has less total weight, and thus sags less during the cut.

    Is it just printer paper? How wide was it? Id like to know so i can see how well i can do. This is a great challenge because its a mix of knife sharpness, edge angle and geometry as well as technique. You can have a very sharp knife but if you haven't cut a lot of paper you won't do that well.
    Prop to the winner for getting 27 and then coming back and doubling his result even when he didn't need to. 55 push cuts without messing up is really impressive.

    just gotta put it out there that the way they gauge the sharpness in this video is really not... good. The fact they have to cut that shape of paper at that angle and it has to go completely parallel to the short side is just not reasonable. also doing it in one really long, smooth, along the edge, SLOWLY?! that is asking for the paper to fold before you can cut it.
    use phonebook paper instead of printer, then tell someone to create itty bitty little shavings really quickly, and then cut a standing paper, folded 4 times, and that right there would be a much better contest to actually test someone being good with a knife and its edge.
    still really enjoyable, keep it goin zac.
