> Meanwhile there's a great youtube channel where a guy makes razor sharp chef's knives out of random fragile materials like jello.

Do you have a link? Search isn't producing anything useful for me. (Particularly to the jello video, but I can't find the channel either.)

Thanks! Channel seems to be http://www.youtube.com/channel/UCg3qsVzHeUt5_cPpcRtoaJQ, FWIW.

If somebody never watched it, I recommend starting with the older videos, though. There isn't any dependency on the chronological order per se, but once finished with "just" making knifes from all kinds of stuff the guy gets way more esoteric over time, and some stuff he does admittedly gets rather hard to follow, since it has little to no commentary. Like instead of just using kitchen salt he'll extract it from sea water first or do something even more obscure.

Wow, I'm not sure what I was expecting to happen to the knife at the end, but it certainly wasn't getting turned back into jello and eaten!

Probably dried jello, which can be sharp until it touches water.

A dried jello knife that turns into, literally, jello when stabbing someone... let's hope no-one beats me to Hollywood with that.

Hmmm...maybe dried jello bullets are next since the whole "ice bullet" didn't work out
