Such a wire, if it could be kept from falling apart, would be insanely sharp and could cut through nearly anything. The actual blade (filament) in the illustration above is not visible. It is far too thin to be seen with the human eye. The filament is supported between the handle and the curved section, but you can't actually see it.

You could possibly have light reflect off it when its turned or the light catches it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
