If I got a tank of liquid nitrogen, could I get a blade cold enough to:

The Deflashing and Deburring Process
Using liquid nitrogen during our deflashing and deburring process, components are lowered to a temperature that allows the material to become brittle. Then, utilizing our cryogenic deflashing machines the flash and burrs are easily removed without altering the finish on the parts.
How cold would steel have to be to become brittle enough affect deburring?
How about dry ice? How about just sticking it in the freezer?
Would the blade edge instantly warm too much the moment it was removed from the source of cold?
After looking around a bit, I guess storing liquid nitrogen is not exactly practical. Dry ice a cheap though and apparently you can purchase various cryo freeze stuff in handy cans.
This is probably a really silly post, but it got me wondering.
