This Guy Made a Functional Kitchen Knife Out of Aluminum Foil in His Kitchen!
…and without using a single power tool
This is total zombie apocalypse stuff. Let's say the world's ending, there's no more electricity and you need a knife. But all you've got are a roll of aluminum foil, a source of open flame and some unpowered hand tools. What do you do?
In short, this:

I also love the Shiba-Inu- and cow-shaped precision-spout water dispensers he used for the diamond plates:

I was intrigued by the Headline But after he started work hardening the foil, it came back to me that is just aluminium in foil and this is very possible, at the very least as a Jeweller and Industrial designer this makes total sense.
looks cool, but a bit misleading from where I'm sitting. a knife only becomes a knife and not simply a sharpened piece of metal once the blade has been hardened and tempered allowing it to keep an edge.
So Interesting, the guy doesnt own a drill, his tool shop is his kitchen counter. Yet he owns a sharpening set worthy of a fine woodworking contributor. Maybe its a japanese thing. Btw, check his other videos, he also makes a knife out of pasta.
Very cool. I just kept screaming at the video everytime he went to a finer grit stone; 2000!! Wait, 12000!!! 30,000!?!?!
Juan I laughed out loud at your comment!
