It’s a 2.2 on the Moh’s scale of hardness. Your fingernail (if particularly solid) could absolutely scratch it. A penny could scratch it. A piece of glass could scratch it, is my point. It’s incredibly soft.
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
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? It’s not really waste if you know how to cut little shapes out of the edges (I hated cutting stuff in the center of pages because I have poor fine motor skills due to dysgraphia and a neurological tremor (I don’t have any weird disease, it’s just a genetic tremor. My grandfather had one, my father has it, and so do most of my cousins) and teachers used to straight up SCREAM at me for not cutting straight. So maybe stuff should just be cut as close to the side in general because it makes less waste and makes ten times better results for people who struggle to cut straight. I honestly hate cutting shapes with scissors so I’ve invested in xacto knives. They are dangerous but much easier for me to control. My dad turned me onto them.

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
To anyone interested why it took Nile so long: 1) Stones aren't for grinding, they are for sharpening and polishing 2) When filing, you never want to go across the file, you always want to go along the file 3) Use both hands when sawing. One pushes and the other pulls... it's almost like half of the effort 4) Also when sawing huge chunks, try to saw vertically, so you have your bodyweight to help you
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

This is definitely full of "I saw it on RUclips, how hard can it possibly be?" vibes. Everything always goes perfect on RUclips, unless it's a Nile video. This realism is what we're here for.
NileRed : (powdering gold) we lost about 0.01 grams which is okayish, but not that good. NileBlue : Yeah working with bromine, bismuth spilling, eating bird stop, is all good.
NileRed: So the transparent wood wasn’t invisible, so we have to start again. Nileblue: ..can we just glue crystals onto the knife? that’s counts right?
The fact that the scale has been laying on the same spot on the ground for all these days of filming is killing me. Sometimes you can even see Nile steping over it.
Nile Red = "Here's how we're going to ensure complete safety and make sure that nothing bad could happen" Nile Blue = Aight imma flip this knife real quick :^)
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.
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: Carefully narrated and serious explanation of the process. NileBlue upon catching the brand new kitchen knife he had just thrown spinning in the air: "I did it!"

Watching Nile transition from chemistry to smithing is like watching a skateboarder try paragliding for the first time. I lost all faith that he had a clue what he was doing when he used the file horizontally haha.
As someone who watches a lot of knife making/blacksmithing videos I was laughing the entire time and it reminds me of a comment on one of your other videos that said “you can tell this man is a brilliant chemist by the way he operates that table saw” Tools and craftsmanship isn’t everyone’s forte, that’s a given, but the most important thing about making something is to have fun doing it and to reap the rewards of your efforts. That being said I consider this knife a huge success, you couldn’t stop smiling the entire time and that’s what made this fun to watch.
Exactly, also it's not like a Bismuth knife was gonna be usable anyways, but like nileblue said, it's more like a decorative knife you put in your studio/office wall
You can tell this man is a *sloppy* chemist by the fact that he hasn't informed himself about the exact characteristics of this element :D "Elemental bismuth is denser in the liquid phase than the solid, a characteristic it shares with germanium, silicon, gallium, and water. Bismuth expands 3.32% on solidification; therefore, it was long a component of low-melting typesetting alloys, where it compensated for the contraction of the other alloying components[15][21][22][23] to form almost isostatic bismuth-lead eutectic alloys." So heating it up was about the worst thing to do for getting it out of that metal thingy ^^
@@thedemes1364 Don't forget the sanding block things. Those ones that are shown when he tries using the whet stone, off in the background. They're around the top left of the screen in a few bags.

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.
Nile Red = "Here's how we're going to ensure complete safety and make sure that nothing bad could happen"
Nile Blue = Aight imma flip this knife real quick :^)
it's cool, he had his labcoat on
Red is just Jekyll and Blue is Hyde
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.

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

After listening to him say so many words I don’t understand and explain so many concepts that go over my head, it made me feel better when he didn’t know what to call the hacksaw

As someone who watches a lot of knife making/blacksmithing videos I was laughing the entire time and it reminds me of a comment on one of your other videos that said “you can tell this man is a brilliant chemist by the way he operates that table saw”
Tools and craftsmanship isn’t everyone’s forte, that’s a given, but the most important thing about making something is to have fun doing it and to reap the rewards of your efforts. That being said I consider this knife a huge success, you couldn’t stop smiling the entire time and that’s what made this fun to watch.
The important part about a hobby is having fun. So they’re doing it right.
Exactly, also it's not like a Bismuth knife was gonna be usable anyways, but like nileblue said, it's more like a decorative knife you put in your studio/office wall
Same when I saw him try to polish it with the wet stones I was crying I left a whole comment on how he should sharpen it with the wet stones
You can tell this man is a *sloppy* chemist by the fact that he hasn't informed himself about the exact characteristics of this element :D
"Elemental bismuth is denser in the liquid phase than the solid, a characteristic it shares with germanium, silicon, gallium, and water. Bismuth expands 3.32% on solidification; therefore, it was long a component of low-melting typesetting alloys, where it compensated for the contraction of the other alloying components[15][21][22][23] to form almost isostatic bismuth-lead eutectic alloys."
So heating it up was about the worst thing to do for getting it out of that metal thingy ^^
your metalworking "skills" make me cry XD The way you use the files ... gold! Love your vids!
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.
