    Check out his other videos, there is one where he makes a japanese style kitchen knife in 30 minutes, starting from bar stock.

    Maybe it's the quality of the steel but I just can't get my kitchen knives to pop hairs off my arm

    My wife really shows no interest in anything regarding my shaving lifestyle, minus my good looks post-shave. However, she was entranced by this guy just wiping that beard right off his face with a knife. That dude is hardcore through-and-through. Many things made be laugh in this video, namely the fact that there's classical music playing in the background. Also, when he says, "How about that for a fashion statement? Maybe I should go want down Main Street." He didn't say, "Maybe I should show this off at that mall."

    No, this gentleman sounds like he's from the WAY back woods of Minnessotta. And I wouldn't have it any other way.

    How is this possible? One pass WTG only. Hardly any soap. No rash after the shave. Does anyone question if this may have been faked with glued on hair?

    I own one of Murray's knives (and have a custom kamisori about to be forged by him) and one day out of boredom I took the kitchen knife through my honing progression and stropping. It silently erased hair from my arm then, and even after I have cut several dozen carrots, celery, onions, and garlic it still does.

    Good ol' carbon steel!

    Been tempted to shave with it a time or two, but it hasn't happened. I'm fine with that.
