A rectangular Pyrolytic graphite 'Ice Knife' measuring 100 mm x 25 mm x 1 mm. These are the minimum dimensions. Product will always be at least these face dimensions and thickness. The 'Ice Knife' comes in a presentation box. This is the bluntest 'knife' you will ever come across. However, hold it in your hand, lightly press it on ice and it will cut through it like a knife through butter, with only the heat of your hand! You instantly feel the cold of the ice cube when you touch the ice with the 'Ice Knife'. This is so counter intuitive and so cool - both ways. Plus, what other knife do you know that will levitate more than 1 mm above N52 magnets indefinately, without any form of outside assistance. The Pyrolytic graphite is perfectly shaped, as manufactured at the factory. The sides are perfectly straight and the corners precise right angles. The edges are smooth right angles to the faces.There has been no attempt to reduce the cut size.  A piece of Pyrolytic graphite with these large face dimensions is too big for people, new to this technique, to try to cleave thinner. Some You Tube videos give the false impression that cleaving is simple. They do not show you the out takes......the ones that went wrong. All the work has been done for you. No waste. No mistakes. No tears.  If you want to see a demonstration of this incredible phenomenon just click on the You Tube link below (or copy and paste the link into the URL address bar at the top of the screen).

Pyrolytic Graphite Pyrolytic graphite is a unique form of graphite manufactured by decomposition of Methane gas at very high temperature, approximately 2000 degrees celcius, in a vacuum furnace. The result is an ultra-pure product which is near theoretical maximum density.  Pyrolytic carbon is high purity carbon, it exhibits high permeability, corrosion resistance, crystal orientation as well as heat, electricity, magnetism properties and is extremely anisotropic.  The material is grown one atomic layer at a time at the rate of 1/40 mm an hour onto a substrate giving it a layered composition. The layers of carbon atoms form crystals of hexogonal sheets. This also means it has different properties in different planes. In the C plane (across its layers) it has low thermal conductivity, acting as an insulator. In the A-B plane (with the layers) it has very high thermal conductivity, acting as a superb conductor.  Pyrolytic graphite is the most diamagnetic (450 x 10-6) against the cleavage plane, exhibiting the greatest diamagnetism (by weight) of any room-temperature diamagnet. Bismuth is second highest at(170 x 10-6) Diamagnetic materials create an induced magnetic field in a direction opposite to an externally applied magnetic field, and are repelled by the applied magnetic field. In contrast, the opposite behaviour is exhibited by paramagnetic materials. Diamagnetism is a quantum mechanical effect that occurs in all materials; where it is the only contribution to the magnetism the material is called a diamagnet. Unlike a ferromagnet, a diamagnet is not a permanent magnet. Its magnetic permeability is less than ?0 (the permeability of free space). Diamagnets were first discovered when Sebald Justinus Brugmans observed in 1778 that bismuth and antimony were repelled by magnetic fields. The term diamagnetism was coined by Michael Faraday in September 1845, when he realized that every material responded (in either a diamagnetic or paramagnetic way) to an applied magnetic field.
