You think you can see the cutting edge of a knife, but you really can’t

By Jesus Diaz

You think you can see the cutting edge of a knife, but you really can't

Hookai. So I just saw this video by our friend Nikola Slavkovic, and my mind exploded. Because what I thought I was seeing, I actually can’t see.
