Did you look at the tomato-slicing video in the answer? Even if the many, many upvotes came because of the first test mentioned (slicing a person), the tomato-slicing video validated the answer, made it worth keeping, and elevated it far above the two deleted answers. The OP asked for a simple test, and the answer provided a simple, inexpensive test with a video demonstrating the test. The only hard part for most of the year would be finding a ripe tomato; slicing a supermarket tomato would prove little. **In response to the comment of @Gabriel C**: > Yes, but then if you get rid of the useless paragraph and image, the > answer becomes a one-line answer based on an outside link video, which > again isn't what is usually considered a good answer. Several of the answers provided **less** evidence than the tomato-slicing video. If this answer is to be deleted, those should be also. Moreover, I'd rather test the knife on a ripe tomato and keep the knife away from my hair, or a finger, or even a fingernail. Actually, the video proved to me that I **don't** want that knife in my kitchen -- **too** sharp!
