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.

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

It’s kinda funny, the folding part of making a samurai sword making it better is sort of a misconception. You only need to fold out impurities... in lower quality steel. So some medieval European swords, for example, didn’t need to be folded nearly as many times because they had better steel, and such is absolutely the case with modern assembly line steel used in the butter knife.

I would love to have Penn narrate my life.

Well it makes sense. What we saw her was a transformation of moving energy also called kinetic energy into another type of energy. Because of the setup. The bullet is forcefully stopped by the knife. And the energy tries to find a way to escape. And the only way to do that is by breaking the bullet as it is made out of softer material then the knife. The sharpness doesn't matter.

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.

Hmm. Based on the small spread of the bullet halves from the samurai sword, you would probably still be hit by the bullets, but the butter knife spread the bullets much farther apart! It’s probably actually a better choice when you bring a knife to a gun fight and you’re out of knife range, because you can actually split the bullets and live!

More than a few people have pretty much said it, but just to reiterate, it has more to do with both the round chosen, as well as simple material science. .45 ACP bullets are not meant to be armor piercing. They aren't even supersonic. They're meant for maximum power against a soft target, and thus they are made soft so that they expand in the wound and cause as much damage in the wound canal as possible. It's morbid, but thats how a soft point or especially hollow point round works, it's meant to spread out and slow down once it hits a target and therefore is built fragile and soft. With that in mind, a fragile soft metal, striking a hard forged metal is going to break. You don't need sharpness in the blade, because unlike when the sword sliced through a fish, the sword is not sending it's force into the object, but is having an object with an insane amount of force suddenly stop on it. Therefore the bullet acts in much the same way as if it had just struck a human body and chips, fragments, and generally breaks apart as much as possible as it was designed to do. If you fired a steel point rifle round at that sword? I think the results would be very different. At that point the strength of the steel would come more into play.

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.

3:50 ok, boomer

1:26 loving the fact they borrowed soundfx from Doom.

Has to do with surface area. The butter knife has a smaller area in the thinnest part of it, the edge, than the tip of the bullet. The sword has an even smaller one, which is why it gave a cleaner cut.

the katana was an extremely mediocre blade infact. for one it was believe it or not quite a fat blade, probably due to the fact that it was an incredibly easy sword to make and was made by the worst of smiths. the steel folding is true, and it did work, as shown by the celts who did it almost 2 millenia earlier.

+the stalking "biscuit but but.. anime taught me that katakana are the best swords and have supernatural powers :'O" - majority of katanas fans over the internet. Really, European swords are far superior.

Well they didn't fold it "1000x times" they folded it maybe 10 times and because of math if you fold something over you get two then you do it again you get four then again eight, etc... If you were to fold it 1000x imagine the hunk of metal you're starting out with and imagine how heavy that'd be translated into a sword.

Yes the butter knife will survive. It is stainless steel. I question the edge though. It may need sharpening. What the non Japanese samurai sword master was saying is correct. It is also just steel but was folded a lot to turn it into steel.

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.

that video was so much better with Penn commentating. funny.

"We got the same weapon specialist we did not introduced earlier to shoot the butter knife" lol
