Maybe I'm just a sci-fi nerd who loves innovation, but this is so cool!

Clearly, this product is not intended for the mass market, and may find purchase with people who have tennis elbow and who can afford it, etc. <insert other critiques about practicality and applicability here>. But still, when was the last time someone tried to re-invent something as basic as a knife?

Ultrasonic knives are used commercially, this is an attempt at a mass market by making it cheaper and packaging it in a more familiar form.

A year ago? This one is designed for woodworkers.

I thought I recognised the name - Bourbon Moth is the guy who faked a video of oily rags self-igniting to make a video to advertise fireproof bins for woodworking.

Never heard of either of these Youtubers but I've seen tons of cans of stains and such with warnings about potential self-ignition if left on rags in the wrong conditions...

Yes. Learn from my mistake--I almost burned down my apartment by leaving linseed oil rags unattended.

It's interesting that AvE devoted multiple videos to debunking oily rags but believes 9/11 was an inside job.

Writer Jack London's mansion,The Wolf House, that he was building up in Sonoma county was destroyed by a fire that investigators later attributed to the spontaneous combustion of oil-soaked rags in the dining room...

Expertise & ignorance alike don’t carry across domains.

Uh, really? I haven't been following him for a while, so I don't absolutely know if you're wrong, but I absolutely can see him joking about it and maybe even taking it too far.

AvE experienced mental breakdown around Canadian trucker anti-lockdown movement. Never been the same since.

A pocket chisel is very much not the same thing as a kitchen knife.
