@@danielabreuleyba3994 Eso me llamo particularmente la atención, pero se me fue el asombro cuando me acordé que uso un pollo como pincel para el polvo.
This is one of the strangest videos I've ever seen. I honestly didn't understand a good portion of the fabrication techniques, yet it was thoroughly interesting and entertaining. I like it.
Most of the videos was hinge refining things. The power he adds to the knife are… completely forgot.. but carbonates and the Green stuff was some form of copper. And of course glass.
I completely forgot he was making a knife until he started shaping the iron into an edge. I legit thought he was just making glass using sand and a microwave for 90% of the video. I kept thinking to myself “this is a lot of steps for glass”
No one's talking about how this guy over here literally just picked out tiny individual grains of silica from all of that sand, he has to be the most patient person in the universe
@@norwegiansmores811 Well, he took crushed glass, gathered all the materials to make clear glass, made clear glass, then crushed the glass, then made glass again, then crushed the glass, then made glass again, then crushed the glass then put it in a resin container. It is glass, just really small glass.
this man's videos are basically just moments that make you say "what does this have to do with anything" and whether you find out or not by the end is a 50/50
Did you miss the portion where he manually separated the iron from the sand, created carbon, forged steel, heat treated it, etc, all with household appliances?
As was I.... The edge of the knife was made from the sand and that is all... I was thinking the knife itself would be made of glass.... But still cool....
I didn't understand a single thing that was going on, but that 5 second timer was insanely cool and I like this guy's editing style and sense of humour.
I love that he always titles his videos “worlds sharpest” like there’s some other guy out there making knives out of the same increasingly stranger materials, stamping his foot in rage as his dull blades are once again outmatched by Kiwami’s superior sharpening methods.
To be fair, that's true of American sports as well. That's why American football teams are always the "World Champions". It's easy when nobody else in the world plays.
I came to watch a knife, finished ordering a chemistry set, small hammer, some ceramic crucible, morter and pestal set all from Amazon prime. Thanks alot man...
Your art is so beautifully functional, amusingly disturbing, and I mean both the video AND the knife. Please never stop creating in your microcraftsman way.
i'm inclined to say you're woefully inexperienced with microwave abuse. just so you know. the microwave is doing just fine here. there are people out there doing much worse things.
Yes i think so, i literally but i mean LITERALLY spent 15 minutes of my life. That i will never get back watching pointless sands being turned into rocks -_-
Jimmy Palafox no..that was just the process to making a badass knife. Did you see it? That shit was clean asf 😍 like damn I want a glass knife now, it looks so good
I did that at home too, u can buy special pots to melt sand in a micro wave. But idk what they cost, have them cause my mom is an glas artist, we also have big ovens but that is definetly cooler than using a big oven.
This lad is insane. The videos aren't of this reality. The cleanliness of the space, the blankness of it. The silence of the audio, except for that which is necessary. The roboticness of it all. I feel like I've been given access to a window into an alternate dimension.
Sand and metal get melt around 800-1200 deg C, it's really danger heating up with home microwave oven. The home microwave oven is not designed for such high temperature.
all his videos have me like “so how does this contribute to making a knife??” until i forget that he’s making a knife, and then suddenly he’s got a finished knife.
Once again, here's what's going on for you curious people : Sand (at least in japan) frequently contain tiny specks of magnetite, which chemically speaking is Iron oxide (Fe3O4). As the name states, it has magnetic properties, so you can separate from sand easily with a magnet. Sand in general is made of a lot of stuff, part of it is made trough rock erosion, and an other part is shell fragments. most rocky stuff are Silica Oxide + some metallic element, and depending of the temperature and pressure at which they solidified their atomic arrangement can differ. anyway, the white/clear crystal things are quartz, almost pure SiO2. As you probably know, that's what glass is made of. after preparing some iron oxide and quartz samples, he uses his whetstone to prepare a very thin Aluminium power, tortures an innocent chick, proves us that his fingers do in fact at least use to belong to a human being, and then mixes the aluminium with the iron oxide. since his iron oxide is in pretty big specks, what he makes it essentially low grade thermite. for those who don't know, aluminium has a higher affinity for oxygen than Iron, so you can get the oxygen to jump to the aluminium. the difference in oxygen affinity means that there is a difference in potential energy, when the reaction occurs all that energy is released in its "raw form" : heat, and a lot of it. That's why thermite was used during the war to destroy machines you didn't want falling into enemy hands. The reaction is actually pretty hard to activate, so i'm surprised a microwave can do the trick but why not. the result is a nice clump of raw iron and some aluminium oxide (alumina). the iron is magnetizable so it reacts to a magnet, while the aluminium oxide forms the slag, is it brittle and not magnetizable. the shiny blue specks you can see at 4:10 are not "gems" that spawned from nowhere, it is sand impurities that came with the magnetite, the heat melted them into glass, and whatever impurities they contained gave them the blue color (it can also be aluminium or iron from the reaction.) He then calcinates the sea shells : as i explained in a previous video, sea shells are essentially calcium carbonate CaCO3, under extreme heat one CO2 is ejected, leaving CaO, quicklime (the video says calcium carbonate but that is a mistake). just as last time, this molecule hates itself and reacts with water to form Ca2+ 2OH-, so the solution is very basic. this reaction also releases heat. This time rather than using this stuff for its "basicity", he dries it up to get Calcium dihydroxide powder Ca(OH)2. that's literally the same thing but not in solution. He chars the flowers out of pure spite. they're probably friends with the chick anyway. that will teach them ! pretty sure the shelf witnessed everything, let's get rid of it too. an added benefit is that you have a bunch of carbon and ash now. the color of what he crushes at 6:23 is odd to me, but i think that's what it is. wood contains a lot of carbon, sure, but plant cells also contain a bunch of ions, just as any cell does.depending on the kind of wood the ashes will contain different proportions of the same things but you will get mostly lye (NaOH) and potash lye (KOH). There is other stuff too but those are probably the most prominent. Because elements of the first column of the periodic table really just want to get rid of one electron so they can have a nice smooth outer electronic shell, all of that will dissociate into water as Na+, K+ and OH-, the latter being what basicity truly is. actually there should be a fair share of calcium in this mess but whatever, it behaves pretty much the same here. accordingly, the solution is basic, although 13-14 is pretty damn high for ashes in water if you ask me. he probably had to do a few batches, evaporate some water and pool them back together to get that. after drying the filtered solution, he says that is sodium and potassium carbonate, but i don't see what guarantees that, it could also be lye and potash back again for all i know. Supposing he's right, that means precipitation with carbonate ions occurs faster. chemically speaking CO2 (from the fire) + OH- makes a carbonate group (HCO3-) that will complex with + charged ions and precipitate. Now he mixes some quartz, some calcium hydroxide and some Na/K whatever this is. long story short, he's making glass. glass is mostly SiO2 just like quartz, but to melt it you need flux, that's what calcium hydroxide and the other stuff are. Flux is used in metallurgy and glass-making to lower the melting point of things. don't ask me how it works, i like to learn weird stuff but there's a limit even to that :-/ okay that worked, now let's break that glass and turn it into glass power so it's easier to re-melt. there's a reason why people made rock tumblers rather that shaking stuff by hand, but i suppose having no girlfriend since the previous episode increased his...ability to do so ;-) anyway, while he's at it he prepares some powdered copper to add to the glass for an hopefully nice color. he needs it to be oxidized apparently, so in the nuclear-powered microwave it goes. that makes a nice deep blue color, pulverize this blue glass again and wha- what the hell is he doing ? that's not going to react with water. what is this white powder ? having actually seen the video entirely before typing, he is preparing different grades of "sand" that will sediment at different speeds, but that came a bit from nowhere. at some point this is supposed to become a knife, and incredibly enough he decided to not go with a handmade glass blade (probably impossible to sharpen without breaking), so it's time to forge that iron clump into a blade ! heat, hammer, repeat, quench for hardness. from that point he is just making the knife, but actually it was really unclear what he was doing because he skimmed over it pretty fast. the elastic thing at 17:30 confused me because i thought it was the result of the UV resin, but it's it not. it's just some stuff he will use as a placeholder for the aquarium part of the blade. he puts it in place and then pour more UV resin on top. after sharpening he re-applies some UV-resin to fill in the scratches in order to have a nice finish, breaks the handle of a second half-knife and completes the build by putting the different sands inside. he also puts in a tiny bit of hand soap to make the bubbles more stable so that the sands move in a more interesting way. now he just has to murder the first cucumber-carrying girl he can find !
> was really unclear what he was doing because he skimmed over it pretty fast. You mean everything from 16:00 right? That part was confusing. What was this liquid used for the knife? Was it from the Makita machine?
@@hugolachs6620 yeah, well some of it is stuff he used before, so i skipped over that too. he makes a knife mold out of silicon , these things are sold in two parts that harden only once you mix them together, the makita machine is just a vacuum pump to remove the bubbles to have smooth surfaces. the slightly purple-ish liquid is the UV resin, as the name states it's just a liquid that hardens into plastic once exposed to UVs.
I believe a lot of hide videos start with him coming up with an idea, and then he shows us all the footage of him trying to achieve that idea, and a lot of times he is unable to achieve what his goal was the way he intended. So that’s why we see him experimenting with all the sand components even though he ended up only using the iron from the sand for the knife. Instead of just showing us five minutes of him making a knife edge out of iron, he’s showing us every idea he had without telling us explicitly that those ideas weren’t gonna work in the end.
@@BloodFangLucario555 All the stuff with the sand in the beginning was used to make the sand he put into the knife. It was all relevant to the finished product.
I think he was refining magnetite sand (iron oxide), potentially with a thermite reaction? (That would explain why he was shaving what looked like aluminum)
I feel like it’s been a hour of unrelated random chemistry sequences, we haven’t come even close to making a knife yet and I’m starting to question my sanity
You know, if you watch all Kiwami's videos, you feel you start to slowly normalize some things, like the fish shoes, or the vibrator doll, even the melting microwave and finger condoms, like, looking at them and the reaction being: "Ah yes, the vibrator doll". But then you continue and the cucumber flies away, and you see Kiwami's thumb, and that's a whole state of emotion.
I stopped watching most of his videos just because of all the creepy stuff, it's about making knives out of shit, you shouldn't have all the "come here kids" content he does.
@@GLUFSAREN There is literally nothing wrong with his videos. The intention is to be weird and show the oddball steps he takes to get for the final product.
@@opcpixie Don't really know if the sorting of sand was actually used as a basis for the final knife. It's makes for great B-roll videography, though. For the final knife, he could have simply gotten actual glass shards to be absolutely certain the final knife would function as a knife. That's the magic of video editing.
there’s a very fine line between an odd talent, and borderline serial killer behavior. i don’t know which side he may be on, but Kiwami has straight up cut the line now
Just the Japanese sense of humour. I find it ridiculously hilarious. The cows. The doll. The mannequin. The fish shoes. The process which I have no idea what is happening at all or why.
