my favorite part of the video! Hahahahaha

hehe

I was saying the video was so much better with Penn commentating.

+Iyana your comment made it to the title of a post on 9gag tv

+abrox What does that mean? Haha

A great combination of both

Penn & Teller tell a lie, it's a fun show

Nah, this doesn't have 40 minutes of fluff and recap

Penn and teller should be mythbusters.

fedos nah they dont blow stuff up

+Jason Summer that red lever, yellow lever joke was so obscure but still pretty funny

+jetnut89 I didnt get the joke

+anonymous fapper An old tongue-twister that actors use to loosen up and avoid slipping up on stage is saying "red leather yellow leather" several times without messing up. He just swapped out "leather" for "lever" :) Try it! red leather, yellow leather, red leather yellow leather redleatheryellowleather....

@@Nu_Gundam78 The tongue twister!!!

@@Nu_Gundam78 and you know penn has used it for years to loosen up his over used tongue. Lol

Why doesn't this have more likes???

"The presentation was great but I think another word we could use to describe it is as a *SHARP* presentation maybe?" Butter knife: "Nope, nothing sharp" "well if its not sharp then it must be slick because you FOOLED US" loud noises

+lukassnakeman On top of that, the angle with which the bullet impacts the knife makes quite a difference. Going through it would mean going through one inch of steel, but since there's nothing on each side the mass, under those circumstances, tends to split and go through the path of least resistance.

+lukassnakeman Iron, not lead.

+Sarcastic Marauder bullets are usually lead.

thesourceofx Yes, but refer to the original post wasn't talking about bullets

+Sarcastic Marauder ...It probably was. You know, bullet vs knife. Lead vs steel.

Foohey yep

Foohey Now I want to see Penn and Teller vs Jamie and Adam

Foohey And like mythbusters, this show probably started out cool (dunno, never watched the early seasons), but degraded into proving stupid obvious stuffs. What this video proved is that lead is weaker/softer than steel. Something that's already a common knowledge. Don't really need a butter knife. Just use a similar thickness steel plate, position it the same way (thin side facing the gun), and it will give pretty much the same effect.

+Foohey I prefer to think Mythbusters is like this just without Penn and Teller

+E X E R and it should be able to slice incoming bullets!

MrEpic Pat Definetely! And this Butter Knife should not be Covert Knife, but a Contraband Knife that worth $590.45 in the market.

+E X E R if you shoot at it and he has it has his butter knife out it doesnt no damage.

I was actually about to get annoyed by the sound effects but then he acknowledged it and it became funny instead

Would prolly be a Remo Williams movie, if anything

I must be Jackie Chan.

Sounds like something that would be in a Dead-pool movie, Dead-pool doesn't have his sword so he splits a bullet to prevent the harm of his lover.

Sounds like John Wick

sounds good to me

SysGhost It would actually be bad ass to see a kung fu or samurai scene where the guy improvises in a fight in a diner or fancy restaurant using butter knives to deflect incoming bullets from bad guys.

That needs to be a thing! That would be a hilarious martial arts comedy

This knife... will spread.

+James Hald Teeth dont CUT things, they, well, mangle if they have enough force behind them, the thing here is that the bullet is moving at a very fast speed and the static knife has a very small point of impact, which means that all of the preassure will be in that exact spot, leading to the bullet seemingly being split.

+James Hald A lot of the things we refer to as butter knives aren't actually butter knives. Butter knives are those funny little paddle ones that aren't even sharp. The ones you're talking about, I think, are the same kind most people get when they buy a box of silverware. And those are actually dinner knives. visual.merriam-webster.com/images/food-kitchen/kitchen/silverware/examples-knives.jpg

+ExplosiveBG Funnily enough, that's exactly what a sharp blade does. It has microscopic jagged edges that do the same thing a hacksaw would.

the butterknifes I use are made of plastic and are quite big. It is much easier to spread than with the ones in the video... just look how gross those scones look

those butter knives can definitely cut through flesh. I had a friend go to hospital because he grabbed the seemingly safe 'edge' and someone pulled the knife.

ikr

Murica.

Because it's fucking delicious!

+datonz no it's diabetes and a muffin is similar to a cake, why the actual fuck do you need butter on it.

The scroll, the scroll, the button, the button, the scroll is so smooth lika butter on a muffin!

Because that would be hillarious.

unclvinny Both are made of steel. The bullet is made of lead. Lead is far weaker than steel and is easily molded/split.

+unclvinny They probably do that at the end of the show. The way the show is build is that they have 5 stories that they talk about and one of them is fake. They let people vote which one is fake and reveal the actual fake at the end and explaining why the others are real in the progress. I think. Not sure.

They need to be relatively soft on the outside to squeeze into the rifling, but their inside can be very hard. They looked like a single piece of lead in this case, though.

Nah. They don't have Kari.

MUCH LESS ENTERTAINING

Then the test would be ludicrous because common bullets are made from lead

mitchell fowler what ISN'T ludicrous about the test they actually did? anyway, as it stands it only shows how much softer lead is than the metals used in knives and katanas which actually shows nothing and is unimpressive. I believe a katana could split a copper plated bullet and that's what I'd like to see.

KevinJC1991 I will agree that splitting a bullet in half with a sword or knife is stupid, but using lead bullets makes alot more sense still

KevinJC1991 Considering the test is equal...that doesn't matter. Not to mention...did you think that copper is harder than steel?

***** would it smash a katana blade? i think so. The fact is that this test is putting soft metal at a high speed against a hard, stationary target. it means nothing and yes, i know that it is lead wrapped in copper, thanks for the copy/paste from the dictionary. what is your point?

Where do you think this is from?

at least one who knows his bussines. lets not forget traditional made katanas were a one gig only thing in a fight for the metal in japan back in the day was of rather poor quality which even after folding and correct quenching was rather prone to bend. actually because of this background knowledge i actually thought the blade would get a bigger dent after being hit by a bullet.

You... you guys know that this video is a joke, right? It's fake...

Then explain how I can cut down a tree with a mushroom in minecraft

supersonic physics does tend to behave weird

@mandellorian Don't be mean though, be nice.

Well, mostly. Both are thin enough that the point of impact is such that the bullet stands no chance. The sharpness of the sword allows it an even finer point of impact, thus cleaner cut though.

To be fair, he is American. The idea of muzzle awareness and trigger discipline may as well be a running joke

It's because he's a police officer

Wow the 2 comments above me r wrong... A lot of Americans do legally own guns, but every legal gun owner that's actually going to brag about it knows proper gun safety & practices it 24/7 in fear of being mocked by comments like this 1 showing they don't know wats going on... To become a police officer, u then have to have more gun training as well as training in other firearms not available on the market, etc... Basically, the idea that Americans or cops are stupid wen it comes to gun safety is stupid. Most gun deaths in America r by suicide. Most gun crime is committed with illegally obtained guns. Don't make stupid generalized comments with no basis to them.

@@tjfrye11 Most of your citizens think you're legally allowed to murder someone for trespassing on your property.

Vanessa Magick whether or not you are is based on state laws. In some, you can be convicted even if they posed a threat, in some, you can shoot them if they breathe on your grass. It's not a nationwide law, because different states have different crime rates.

hiv/aids does that... rip teller!

sorry that you too have hiv/aids, but don't be mean to strangers online. i curse you!

He isn't skinny

People have very high expectations of bullets and guns. I'm sure people were thinking that because of the velocity, it would just mess up the butter knife.

it has more to due with surface area than just general hardness. turn either blade to the flat side that that bullet is going right through it.

@@dinozorman If you turn it on edge, the cross-sectional thickness is something like 15x less than if hitting it on edge. It's like trying to shoot through a piece of paper vs a book.... I small book, but I think you get the point.

+donbasuradenuevo How can steel split steel?

+Hyper Ask Zorro, he will explain it 😝

Hyper Steel varies between steels. Take, for example, alloys. There are a LOT of different steel alloys. For starters, the most basic steel is a mixture of Iron (Fe) and a very small amount of Carbon (C). You can get different properties (hardness, ductility) by varying the carbon content. Now, you can even add more elements such as Chromium to make it stainless steel. One can add a lot more different elements and get a lot more properties. Next, comes the heat treatment. A respectable katana is forged using a heat treatment that gives different properties along the cross section of the blade. You want hardness to keep a good edge, and toughness (ability to absorb impact) in the inside. Butterknives almost never get a complex alloy or heat treatment because of cost. Only crazy rich people would invest lots of money on a butterknife, so they are made incredibly cheap. That means cheap steel alloy and cheap heat treatments, thus making it more prone to break. Lastly, mass. A katana or any sword pretty much has an enormous mass compared to cutlery, thus having more impact energy. Thus, a butterknife will be able to absorb less energy than a sword when impacted.

donbasuradenuevo I think that modern butter knife is made of better steel than old pig iron katanas.

Hyper No. Modern butter knives are made from stainless steel that has not been tempered for a hard edge so it is easier to produce. Katanas were never made from old pig iron. They were made from carbon steel. And retempered for durability and combat.

balzonurchin it may have won if that bullet was a full metal jacket (FMJ) or a total metal jacket (TMJ).

quartz is harder than steel. Try shooting at a piece of quartz. It's more than mere hardness.

@@khornetto "More than mere hardness" is what my girlfriend likes to say.

@@khornetto it's likely also the speed of the bullet impacting the blades edge on. The relatively softer lead hitting the harder steel, means the easiest way for the mass to continue moving forward is to be split to either side. I think if you shot the flat of the sword or butter knife you may get a different result.

@@DamienTB yeah she loves girth too, doesn't she

@@CrashB111 exactly, all these people talking about "well duh steel is harder", dont understand momentum and surface area lol.

You are missing out my man. Especially if it's European butter.

that's why they used it. you can't shoot an edge with a regular bullet without at least leaving a mark, curling or chipping the edge in some way.

+dattebenforcer Oh YES!!!!

+dattebenforcer This! +Skallagrim Do it!

He did

Lol

wanmohd danial And behind that man 4 holes. And then to INFINITY AND BEYOND.

Stevon Robb How high were you when you wrote this?

+Sinisa Jovanovic It's because the katana has a sharper edge that doesn't change the outcome

Yes it does. It's like if you take a knife and slice an apple in two and take a hammer and “slice” the apple in 50 pieces.

+Sinisa Jovanovic well, if you want to call it "shatter" it shattered it into two pieces. Just like the katana, but with a different word.

That was not 2 pieces, it wasn`t a clean cut at all

Sinisa Jovanovic The question isn't of manner of breaking but of strength. The butter knife passed and it was slightly bend probably caused by the knock off of the bullet, which might have caused the bullet to break down in a few pieces. If you watch closely the bullet breaks in two and then fractures.

Yep am not amazed that much but without sharpening it still did the trick. Guess forged in fire needs to come up with a new test then...

Sharpening not needed, if you notice the butter knife bullet more of shattered compared to the sword cut the slug. It is a lead slug (very soft relatively speaking compared to other metals) moving at high velocity hitting stationary piece of thinnish steel which is much, much harder. The stainless steel of the butter knife most likely has a surface hardness very close to the sword, just the sword has more toughness (it is a metallurgy thing). Use a steel or brass slug and results will be different.

I was browsing the comments just to see if it wasn't just me.

Just cause I have nothing to do with my life I went ahead and looked up your little factoid. Upon further research regarding the technique of making medieval swords and that of Katanas I realized they were the same, you know demascus (

Katanas weren't made of high quality metal. The smithing processes they used were used specifically because japan had really low quality steel to work with. Folding the metal again and again helped more evenly distribute the impurities, and helped remove impurities with each fold.

rep304 Wrong on so many levels... the Katana was not made from 'high quality metal'. As a matter of fact, it's the other way around. The metal they used was incredibly bad. The reason why the metal they use, is folded so many times, is to get rid of all the impurities there was in the steel. Conversely, the European blades had no impurities (or so few that there was no need to get rid of them), so they didn't have to fold the metal.
