About

1,000 Degree Knife Videos are recordings of knives heated until they are glowing hot which are used to cut through a variety of objects. After the videos began widely circulating in late 2016, some praised the content as oddly satisfying while others condemned it as a type of YouTube clickbait.

Precursor: Red Hot Nickel Ball Videos

On February 28th, 2013, the carsandwater YouTube channel uploaded a video of a ball of nickel heated till it is glowing placed on a pillar of dry ice (shown below).
