Thank you for making the bismuth knife. arigato
Kiwami NOTICED IT!
Good job
Hello. TH-cam brought us both together today it seems.
dude has 3.43 million subs and they haven’t given him a checkmark??
Just realize this was yesterday.
Nilered: we lost exactly 5 milligrams in the process, a real shame
Nileblue: ooh my gloves are smoking
ahahahah-
Lol
Came here looking for this comment
The thing that I find the most hilarious is that, while they're the same person, they feel like two completely different people.
@@refrigeratorNO yeah
Nile Red: I needed to do it safely, so i waited a couple days
Nile Blue: _flips a knife and catches it bare handed, spills liquid metal on the floor, touches metal after it was just blowtorched bare handed_

27:17 "the cucumber is scratching the knife" might be one of my favourite Nile phrases ever. The way he says it like a disappointed father always gets me 😂
"You know what, let's go with a Japanese Knife."
*proceeds to print out a picture of a german knife*
What fits is that he is both Japanese and German
The difference between goofing around and science is documentation.
Yep
He documented that he can flip an open knife at least once
So....Jackass with proper lab procedure is suddenly Mythbusters?
Okay - I'll buy it.

Seriously, I was like "at least put a plastic sheet down to catch some of that to use later..."
i know your memeing but the thing is that most impurities in metal melts off in the slag and skimmed off sorta how water leaves behind stuff when it evaporates
Nile Red: Makes a superconductor.
Nile Blue: Tutorial on how to use every tool the wrong way.
He even uses the knife wrong at the end
The duality of man
Chemist's aren't tradesmen
practical science vs impromptu science
When he stated to file and said "you definitely need one that grinds off more than this" my entire body cringed. He is using the damn thing sideways
NileBlue being the last person NileRed wants in the lab is amazing
LMAO PERFECTLY SAID
nile: has all types of cool axes, hammers angle grinders and stuff

Dude handled that knife like someone who has never held one a single time in their entire life.
He didn't own a knife before this; he literally had to purchase one to trace. So I'm assuming he wanted to make this so he would own a knife now LOL.
Why is no one talking about the fact that the safety master himself just spun a knife 360 in the air and caught it bare handed
yes on my loose memory he was like SAFETY and now lol

Thats exactly how i feel rn
Im not a blacksmith, but I collect and repurpose old knifes. I have multiple Whetstones and multiple sharpeners...I will tell you
It hurt me seeing what he did

@@kleboskjervold-david8549 well thats the worst part...you think it cant possibly get worse...
My dad is an offshore diver/hobbyist blacksmith so I know a little bit about this stuff and yeah... It hurt

NileRed: Let's always be safe
NileBlue: Let's flip a sharp knife
This guy is so ridiculously risk averse and then he does that! 😆
It always surprises me when people do that. My friend is super risk averse and then asks me to dangle her over the edge of over water with sharp barnacles and shit.
Nile blue is his safety flouting alter ego. The evil twin.

Missed opportunity for a "Let's get down to bismuth"
Steven universe reference, whoop whoop!
it'd probably be too predictable honestly, I seem to remember back in the day, you couldn't turn a corner without seeing a bunch of people spamming it, so it's for the better that it was left out
NileRed: I did 10 washings to make sure it was very pure.
NileBlue: Oh, yeah, let's just scoop up the dust from the floor and put it in the middle.
Just realized that now.
@TacticalMoonstone anyone that i’ve seen commented here that i really like:

Just flash back to all of the violent metal scraping and grinding noises
@Peter Rabbit I think you might be mistaken, it is your neurons that are giving you error 504, so sorry, but you can't haz nerd.
I like that at 10:06 Nile acknowledges the obvious thing I‘ve been mentally shouting at my screen the entire time
For anyone watching who plan on doing something similar, theres a specialty file for actually cutting down large areas of metal called a Vixen File, if they had used a vixen file they could have saved a significant amount of time on the initial cutting down of the blade
Or they could have just molded it

@@rustymustard7798 sorry for you.. His main channel is still cool
I love the dynamic between Nile and his friend,, it adds a full element to the video!!
I believe its his brother
the element was bismuth
LOL@@olliesstopmotion6481
The black flattening stone you were using to try and flatten the blade, is actually for flattening the sharpening stones to make sure they are perfectly flat for use, you also have to soak the stones in water for about 5 minutes before use, put the 800 grit stone into the rubber base squares and then put the whole thing into the wooden base. What I should point out is that these stones are for sharpening hardened steel knifes and not a soft metal like Bismuth, you will probably just end up clogging the stones. To hack away the amount of metal you need to remove you need a belt sander.
As a blacksmith, I'm torn between laughter and crying
Why do you have to be black? Why can't you just be a smith?
coal reasons
Bruv I just watch blacksmith videos and I feel the same XD
A blacksmith works non-precious metals. A silversmith works silver. A goldsmith works gold. A tinsmith works tin.
@@lindzeesouperocd7558 - in context a smith is a synonym for blacksmith.
Watching you using hand tools is the equivalent to watching a tool machinist do chemistry.

So true. This is painful to watch

Im convinced nilered put all his brain points into chemistry and nothing else on the character creation screen.
Watch a scientist use every tool in his lab like a chimpanzee figuring out a water bottle.

It’s a nerds first project at gunsmithing school.

@@encryptedmaze both are bad but come on, surely you also died inside when he did that
This is the first video of his I've ever watched. I was really hoping he'd read the instructions for sharpening. It hurt to watch.
My bones cried out in horror and anguish. I've never known such a terrible sight.
Your brother adds the perfect amount of comedy. Love to see more from ya'll!!
Unlike a few commenters I’m not super experienced in metal work and whatnot but I have used tools many of which Neil uses here and let me tell you, I feel like an expert because watching him made me laugh and cringe and feel things I can only describe as confusion and concern combined

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.
