Silver blades don’t stay sharp

Can you sharpen a sterling silver dagger? Yes, but keeping it sharp is another matter. Massoyan Jewelers takes on that awkward request in "Silver blades don't stay sharp," the channel's only new upload this week, which has reached roughly 3.6 million views.

The sharpening is only part of the job. Cleaning uncovers a hole in the sheath that dirt had concealed. The jeweler laser welds it with fresh silver, grinds the repair flush and recarves the worn decoration. Then come a bent blade, a damaged clasp and a broken safety chain. It is a miniature object with a surprisingly substantial repair list.

"Then he asks me to sharpen the blade, and I'm like, sharpen what? It's sterling silver," the jeweler says. He ultimately uses a diamond sharpening plate and tests the edge on a green balloon. In the comments, viewers invent tiny werewolves for the dagger to deal with, while others argue that an edge improves its appearance regardless of how long it lasts.

The dagger is drawing the channel's largest daily audience right now, with "The impossible ring sizing" close behind. That older braided wedding-band repair remains a substantial draw, extending the life of a story readers may remember from last month.

Across the channel, the week brought about 11 million views, while subscribers held steady. Daily viewing is currently a little below its usual level. Among nearby arts-and-crafts channels, karenxcheng is having a notably busier-than-usual day and Ross Draws is quieter. For Massoyan Jewelers, the fresh attraction is a departure from rings: a sheath, a safety chain and silver that was never well suited to being a knife.

If I was restoring it I’d want it sharpened too. It just looks better sharpened.
