Seller Thought He Ripped This Guy Off When He Sold A Rusty Knife For $3, He Will Regret It After Seeing This Video
What does it take to become the number one video on YouTube? It’s a question many vloggers have no doubt repeatedly asked themselves. But as one Japanese YouTuber named Jun just proved, all you need to hit the top is one rusty knife and a whole lot of polishing!
His unexpectedly popular (and oddly satisfying) video has already racked up more than 4.1 million hits since he uploaded it just 2 days ago, and once you see it you’ll understand why. He bought the traditional knife for $3, about ten times more than it was worth given its terrible condition, but determined to make the most of his purchase, Jun rolled up his sleeves and got to work cleaning, sharpening, and restoring the blade, and the end result is nothing short of incredible. See for yourself in the video below. It really is a cut above the rest.

This guy already had millions of views on some of his videos. So this is hardly "unknown guy gets viral video on first attempt" as the title insinuates.

Phenomenal! People down vote because they can't stand to see someone else do good. Don't worry about it. I loved the video!

Hey, that's Jun from Rachel and Jun. Such a nice couple. I love their channel.

Glad he is getting the hits, but that is not an old knife. It is a high carbon blade with surface oxidation. When he scrubbed it the first time there was no pitting indicative of an older knife in the shape it was "Supposed" to be in. Also the handle looks almost brand new.I think the down votes were from people that realize it is a fake story. I own quite a few Japanese blades that will rust similarly if you wash it and put it in a drying rack without drying it and oiling it after washing. Still entertaining to watch.

He never said it was an old knife, just one that was in bad condition. Sounds like the seller didn't have high hopes for it , either.
