Summary: Bearded man turns 350 brand new perfectly OK (well, they are Russian, I give him that) razors blades into a vegetable knife.

Hey i never realised that if you heat metal up enough, it melts and you can make it into a different shape.

... Obviously it take a lot of heat and power and time and effort, so not really recycling or anything useful like that.

Another YouTube WOT

I actually enjoyed watching the video. I have no life.
He could have sped up the playback speed in certain places.

I did whizz it forward in places. End product was rather nice.

Recycling has several forms. This was more like upcycling, though.

I enjoyed that, if I had the tools and the skills I would totally do that to my old blades!

It’s a beautiful piece of work and watching a craftsperson at work is always enjoyable.

A hundred years ago when I was in secondary school, I made a scriber and a screwdriver in metalwork lessons. (Using the forge frightened the life out of me though!) They wouldn’t have won any awards but I was quite proud of my accomplishments.

Do you still have them?

I haven’t seen them in years. Must have disappeared during house moves over the years. The actual screwdriver part at the end broke at some point so it may well have been tossed.
