I nominate Ben325e as head SRP MythBuster.

I agree with everything you say above. But to the subject of the thread, I don't believe it's possible to "soften" the metal (due to the heat generated) by stropping on canvas first in order to make...

No doubt heat is produced when you overcome friction with mechanical force. In this case it's how much. We're looking for enough heat to make carbon/stainless steel softer. Soft enough to make a...

Given the carbon (or stainless) steel we find in razor blades and a baseline at 70*F, at what temperature do you think the steel gets measurably more brittle? and at what temperature do you think it...

Dahahaha. me too! but I'll jump in for a post anyway.

Sure there is heat transfer but it is transfered from the metal that is hotter to the metal that is cooler. It's not instantaneous. You could...
