Presumably to show Consumer Reports how tests should actually be conducted, this is a video from The Hydraulic Press channel, who created a bracket of different priced kitchen knives, then pitted them against each other to see who will the championship.

Because some people have all the fun, this is a video of Youtuber The Backyard Scientist destroying things with a 400MPH rocket powered slicing warhead he constructed from six kitchen knives.

The gun throws knives like a human (flipping them instead of shooting them straight like a bullet), and uses an infrared laser to calculate target distance and create a throwing solution
This is a video of Action Movie Dad’s action movie children playing with a leafblower he modded into a kid-friendly flamethrower with a length of colored fabric. Pretty clever. Now I’m sure there are some other parents out there who would just let their children play with actual fire in
