Can't strip 4/O or bore a hole with that.

That's where some C-4 came in handy.

Finally, a kitchen knife @sailfish can appreciate.

The opening two seconds already had me cringing.

I never even watched it, just the thumbnail got me laughing. I'm still planning to open a can with a utility knife, can't decide if I should do it when the wife is not around, or when she is so someone can pull the fragment of shattered razor blade out of my eye. Lol.

I guess the idea of keeping a knife sharp is just foreign to most people. Yesterday at work we needed a small pan to drain something into and there was an empty chemical jug made of thick plastic sitting there so I grabbed it and made a five second job out of it with one of my Sebenzas, glided right through it. My coworker watched in disbelief at how easy I made it look and complemented how sharp that knife must be. I just thought "well, yeah."

Wear safety glasses. I could see one of those fracturing and springing off somewhere real easy.

Not to mention removing those blades to clean the thing.

Well honestly at that point I'd probably just throw it away for all they're worth.

@zubenelgenubi go into the pantry and find a can of something expired that you were never planning to eat anyway. I need to see this.

That was the other thing holding me up. Do I get to use a hammer, as long as it's the razor blade doing the cutting? I can probably manage either way, but wanted to know how narrow the scope was.

I tapped it in with the palm of my hand but if that doesn't work for your trial, feel free to progress to whatever necessary.

These drill bits are awesome. Run the drill full speed and they just go right through stainless.

The dates on all the canned food are still good. Would it look like I was trying to cheat if I used the bottom of an empty can?

Would still count. They might use thicker gauge metal on the bottom though.

Cool. I'll try to get to it this evening.

Dude... I am sooooooo sorry. I wasn't sure it would work at all, I never expected it to be as easy as it was. It was almost like going through paper. I barely tapped it, with just my hand.

There you have it folks. If you don't have a can opener, or a $300 custom forged pocket knife, you can use a utility knife to open a can of beans.
