I thought the same thing, I used to cut shapes out of paper from the center when I was still little. My father used to scold me on how much that leads to wastage, since then, if anything needs cutting, it goes as close to the edge as possible.
@@variable_theyou can still use the leftover shapes though?

When you live in a country with universal health care you can do stupid things like that. If you look real close at his wrist you can see where the scar goes around from the transplant. He was really lucky to get a donor hand with almost the same pigmentation as his original hand. The first he tried that trick it didn't go so well and we're all so proud of the hard work he's done in his recovery. Niles Blue is so brave to to try the same trick again so soon after recovery.
It felt as though my soul left my body when you brought out the whetstone and proceeded to make the most horrid attempt of sharpening that I’ve ever seen. Didn’t even put water on it, you just dove right in. Actually impressive.
Its even better because he also used the flattening stone meant for flattening your whetstone surface for the knife. Admittedly using it for the correct purpose but on the wrong thing.

It's funny. NileRed is Nile's Blue Oni, while Nileblue is Nile's Red Oni.
"What?? The cucumber is scratching the knife.....now way."
This shit broke me into laughter💀
I'm not going to lie it's mildly amusing to watch smarter people than myself struggle with basic hand tools
It's messing me up thinking he could kill you with an invisible cloud but made it look so hard to make a weapon out of a hunk of metal.
Thank you for saying it
it's the one hope we have that this kid won't turn into a super villain.. he can make a new recipe for cancer-aids but wouldn't know how to open the box if I put a padlock on it.
That's putting it nicely
@Google User What are you going on about dude?
NileRed: safety is important and shouldn't be ignored
NileBlue: "do we risk it?" *Throws unsheathed knife in the air and attempts to catch the handle*
When you live in a country with universal health care you can do stupid things like that. If you look real close at his wrist you can see where the scar goes around from the transplant. He was really lucky to get a donor hand with almost the same pigmentation as his original hand. The first he tried that trick it didn't go so well and we're all so proud of the hard work he's done in his recovery. Niles Blue is so brave to to try the same trick again so soon after recovery.
@@capitalinventor4823 wait what
Remember kids, a falling knife has no handle.
Rusty Cage: ❓🤔🧐⁉️
15:04 "Oh yeah, weren't we supposed to do this in the fume hood?"
It felt as though my soul left my body when you brought out the whetstone and proceeded to make the most horrid attempt of sharpening that I’ve ever seen. Didn’t even put water on it, you just dove right in. Actually impressive.
yeah that was. A lot. This man is a goblin :D
Its even better because he also used the flattening stone meant for flattening your whetstone surface for the knife. Admittedly using it for the correct purpose but on the wrong thing.
@@Spooon10 "Failed Successfully"
@@Spooon10 thank god i wasn't the only person who noticed that lol
Please tell me you also noticed him blatantly using the file in every direction except the right one
3:23 the music is fire 🔥🔥🔥
Only the most technologically advanced labs have 3 kinds of hammers and an axe sitting in a drawer.
And no knife
Especially the Titanium hammer 🔨💪
This is definitely full of "I saw it on TH-cam, how hard can it possibly be?" vibes. Everything always goes perfect on TH-cam, unless it's a Nile video. This realism is what we're here for.
Not me! I am here for that voice, and Bromine! "Bromine Bromine Bromine!" haha 😜
This is big bismuth right here.
Realism? Nileism lol
That knife looked so pretty -- I want one like that!
But they need to stop throwing things around or being mean to things -- it's very disrespectful to nature...
“The cucumber is scratching the knife.”
Nobody in history has ever said it before this guy.

Thanks for making videos nile, it took me 29:56 min. To watch the complete video.
The hammer selection process felt a lot like a serial killer showing off his favourite instruments.
Or torture scene
Lmao im glad someone else noticed
Or a lil kid showing off his nerf guns
"heres my guitar my flute and how could i forget, my banjo
Omg i said this b4 i saw your comment! 🤣
Glad you remade it, super cool! Didn’t realize it would polish so well!!
ah, they replied!

Read that like the country poland and I was confused
As a mechanic, I never took the time to think about all the stuff I know about how to use tools, until this video.
Watching him use the file drove me insane
@@crabmanster Oh my god same. It hurt to watch. Also the angles he was cutting with the hacksaw. Why wouldn’t you cut downwards instead of sideways. And as a blade smith the way he was using the whetstone
@@cooperbrahmsteadt5123 He's basically a kid still as most people in their early 20s and late teens lol. He's just having fun with hands on learning and experience
@@yahya2925 I know I’m not trying to put him down. Obviously it takes time to learn these things and no ones gonna be good at it right away.
OMG, same here!
Watching you make this knife was hilarious, and using it on a floppy cucumber was the best test for a knife I think I've ever seen.
Kiwami watching like "they're so cute maybe I'll make a knife out of them"
sharpest human knife
@@mrkiky sharpest chemistry youtuber knife would give him more opportunity for future human knives in the future, like maybe making a "sharpest horny politician knife" from Shinzo Abe, or "Sharpest supervillain knife" from Bezos or Musk, many opportunities
Kiwami means extreme

Hahahaah
It’s a nerds first project at gunsmithing school.
Thats oddly specific
Nile: We take safety very seriously
Also Nile: Plays with molten metal & throws a knife in the air
also nile: "oh look at that, my gloves are smoking"
Doesnt ware a mask when grinding metal
Masks aren’t required for bismuth cause it isn’t toxic to us
@@skuqre its 4th not 4rd if u want a rd then its 3rd
@@velmi. just because you can injest small amounts doesnt mean you can breath it... it's still metal.
NileRed: It's very important that I don't over heat this and make sure to keep it at a stable temperature.
NileBlue: yo i'd look sick dual wielding these blow torches
i like how on nile red he’s super serious, but here he’s just like “we got a donut hotwheels car” and throws and catches a knife
It's like Nilered is a super serious chemist and Nileblue is his reckless, mad-scientist twin.
@@endlesswanderer1753 frrrr
I couldnt tell that there was a plastic cover on the knife so when he just rapidly pulled it off I thought he made a major oopsie
I read this comment when he said that
Kiwami makes everything look effortless. These guys are the reality. Broken blades, hard work... Achy arms...

To be fair, they are also spectacularly disorganized.
I love the formal, almost documentary like format of NileRed. But the "we don't know what we're doing" format on NileBlue is so much more entertaining
I agree
I am more of a blacksmith but i have done a few swords and knives for commissions and any that has done the work knows the aeons you spend behind the file and sandpaper :P... and yeah this one hurt at times, ehehehe but atleast he was giving it a crack@@nadineaymel-sherif
him flipping a knife without the cover on, i love it
@@Defectionistsyeah that was actually insane lol. Also trying it out on spoiled veggies after completely skipping any sort of sharpening.
@@Hawk7886 they did sharpen it. they say it themselves thats why they were grinding it. after the crystals form and before the polishing. it was just difficult with tools he had so he didnt make it that sharp
NileBlue is the channel where kitchen appliances are tested to the limits and beyond.
Anybody else getting the “smartest dumb person I know” thoughts throughout this entire video.
Hey, it's me !
He's a dumb smartass not a smart dumbass
YES
I get a "damn kids stopped playing Fortnite to go ruin dad's tools trying to imitate a youtube video" vibe. I didn't see any smart, just a lot of dumb, lazy and cringey. I could only get through half the vid, i hate this new format of half the video just being absolute nonsesne. There's like 5 minutes of knifemaking to every 10 minutes of jackassery.
@@rustymustard7798 sorry for you.. His main channel is still cool
NileBlue: Needs safety glasses on everything happening.
also NileBlue: Tosses around new kitchen knife.
You made my day. Thanks! :D
His eyes where safe though
That really scared me. Please don't do that.
I mean, when working with hot or reactive liquids there is actually a chance it will get in your eyes.
A knife that could melt during the dishwasher drying cycle, a knife that everyone needs.
You shouldn't put knives in the dishwasher unless you want to dull them
@@antagonisticaido oh so that’s why my cool knife doesn’t work anymore
@@antagonisticaido Thank you. I hand wash mine.
And sharpen them of course.

your metalworking "skills" make me cry XD The way you use the files ... gold! Love your vids!
Kiwami’s video: calm, methodical, asmr knifemaking
Nileblue: it needs to be blasted a little more.
The hacksaw paradox: unable to cut curves, impossible to cut straight lines.
Underrated comment
you can definitely cut very straight with them if you aren't handling them like a cro-magnon
@@SuperAWaC thats less funny though
@@SuperAWaC cro-magnons were pretty smart
@@Kyle-gw6qpThey were able to make better knives than this.

Well to be fair the knife would be a physical reaction, not a chemical reaction.
*Hits a brittle and toxic material without dust protection*
@@marysue9661 toxic? You can ingest fair quantities of bismuth. It's also used in pepto bismol. It has some anti-microbial properties so bismuth dust will probably protect you from the coof. Just don't snort it through a coke straw.
NileBlue and NileRed is like the Google vs Bing of chemistry.
This is the best comment I've read in a while

Okay so when cutting something with a knife, you're supposed to slice it, as in hold the vegetable/meat in place and move the knife forward/backward instead of just pushing it through
NileRed is like an actual chemistry teacher who puts safety first and is careful,
Meanwhile NileBlue: *dual wielding blowtorches* ”oh look at that, my gloves are smoking”

Nilered and nileblue are hosted by the same person there just different channels
