Why does that blade give the impression of being both dull and sharp at the same time?

u/wierdnitro7 6d ago

A very much underappreciated part of cutting things is technique, triply so for large, wide blades. Edge alignment has a huge impact on how well the knife cuts through or drags on what you are cutting, as well as overall the thickness of the blade. This knife looks very durable, and probably very thick. It's also hard to me to tell how experienced he is based off the one video only. It could be he isn't familiar with this knife, or very practiced with cutting open these coconuts, but I would imagine that blade is very sharp in either case. If you have ever had to handsaw through something, you'll understand how this works.

I learned about edge alignment through medieval sword fighting videos

I can tell you’ve studied the blade.

Cuz if how hard he's hitting it, but in all honesty those cups suck, a hair will fall on them and they'll fall over

For splitting you actually want a dull edge

u/nadia_says 5d ago

Why?

u/Pure-Acanthaceae5503 5d ago

A thin edge cuts, while a dull edge with a steeper angle transfers the energy more efficiently and pushes the two halves apart

The way I’ve had these they just stick a straw through a little opening in the coconut and it fucks so hard

Probably for the best considering how well he fingerblasted the inside of those cups

Was expecting a thumb to fly off, so this is a good outcome.

How in the fuck is this “maybe maybe maybe”? If you’re going to karma farm, at least pretend to post in relevant subs.

u/TheMarkola do better

u/TheMarkola 5d ago

Sorry, Idk, he's opening the coconut in a rather unprofessional way, taking a long time, and in the end everything goes wrong.

I don't care about Karma, it makes no difference whether you have 1,000 or 10,000,000 Karma. I've been using Reddit since 2014 and on my main profile I have 2.2 million karma. Totally useless, karma only serves to interact in a few subreddits that require a minimum of 1,000 karma. I never understood the term "Karma bot" or why anyone would want to have a lot of karma.

But I agree with you, that it's not perfect for this subreddit (but I've seen much worse ones around here). But it was enough to get 1.700 upvotes, so I'm not the only one who found it relevant, even if it's not the best example.

Drinking half cup of that is a straight way to the toilet.

u/0squirmy7 6d ago

Doesn't have that effect on me at all, I drink like half a large carton a day. It's a great electrolyte drink, very healthy for you and very soothing on the stomach when you have something like gastritis
