To all those individuals expressing concerns regarding the product's perceived value, it is essential to recognize that the worth of an item extends beyond its monetary cost.

[@StickySweetest]

Agreed. It's not any other knife.

[@BioClone]

Then we should also consider that a razor blade (or a group) manufactured and used to simplify a lot the creation of the knife... If this knife would be valued on 3000$ then one made from zero would be way more expensive, while ussually they are not. The price is just made to trigger views, and is not reasonable to extrapolate it to the market, probably not even for a custom request this price would be accepted until literally yoi would be paying for the name/artist recognition, and not actually for the work...

You didn't remove the mild steel canister before you stacked your billet. Looks awesome though.

I have a feeling that he simply didn't include the footage of that in the video. He was grinding off the welds later on so it's not like he isn't cognizant of working mild steel into the billet.

[@Bepissmall]

There's multiple clips of him grinding and of the acid etch before he stacked the billet. You can very clearly see that he removed the mild steel before stacking

[@kyzual]

At 4:51 you can see the dark color is the razors, the light color is high carbon steel powder, and the outside edge is a tarnished tan/bronze color, that's the mild steel case.

[@Skinflaps_Meatslapper]

@@kyzual Yeah I may have to retract my previous comment...there are definitely three different types of steel in that stack, and they're present in the finished knife as well. Either he forged mild steel into that billet, or the canister was made with some variety of carbon steel itself. Looking at the very beginning, that canister seems to be homemade rather than off the shelf tubing, and he didn't put any kind of whiteout on the inside either. Whether that's because the canister started out as square tubing and cut down to fit razor blades, or it was made from some type of lower carbon steel (1018 or 1050 perhaps?). I could get behind incorporating a canister made from a lower carbon steel as a third steel, but not mild steel. It's either a total rookie mistake or that was part of the plan.

[@minostenerife9978]

For those saying 3K is a scam, some people have money & value craftmanship. Put those together with a large audience, and the knife will sell (it did and almost instantly- which means he could have charged more).

Nothing, it is just a pun in Russian since there is a word that can describe both sharp and spicy things in that language. The pepper doesn't significantly harm anything and it can remove a little oxygen from the canister but that isn't the reason why it is used.
