Thank you for the information. I was not aware of Damax. Take Care!

Great video vary!

I thought of using a set of pliers to clamp down on it after heating it up

Carbon just swims around freely during forging and heat treating. That’s why you get some kind of average toughness between the two parent alloys. Chromium and other carbide forming elements move much slower.

Guy's a fckg thief he owes me 340$

Excited to try that today. Always done the tempering method what's a counterbalance. But it doesn't work as well with stainless

You sir are a sport. You got you a subscriber.

Guy's bad business practices are what got him in trouble. Now he's evolved into a criminal, taking orders he knows he'll never fill. Bad bad Ju Ju.

I bought a first addition gso 10 from Guy at survive knives back a number of years ago. I tried a forced patina on the blade and soaked it overnight in vinegar also heated the vinegar and soaked it. A gso 10 in 3v! Dumb move it pitted and stained with literal holes in the blade. Guy was easy to reach I even spoke to him in person one time on the phone just called the number listed for his shop. He replaced the blade for me with a factory 2nd blemish within no time. A big gso 10 in 3v. I was so blown away with him doing this and being so cool standing behind his product especially with me being really at the end of the day an idiot to that to the gso10. Ive since done a nice dark patina on the replacement with ferric choloride. Guy is an absolute perfectionist and just no compromise with fit and finish and super detail oriented. I have a number of knives from him. Really hoping by some miracle he can right the ship and get on top of the back orders etc. I think he took on too much and just got overwhelmed. There is huge amount of variables that go wrong in such a detailed assembly and production process. How he did it for so long and put out 1000s of perfectionist mini masterpieces is really amazing. His critical detail goes into his explanations of the setbacks etc. If you order from some custom makers if their books are open you'll wait years. Just my .02s but my experience with Guy and the 7 or 8 knives I have from them was great and he went above and beyond to make it an awesome experience.

Thanks for this video!

Big question here is the factory VSC and the motors that are used. With the AmeriBrade, it appears they supply only Baldor motors and a VFC they make or have made for Ameribrade? I do like the Baldor motors for their refined operation but boy, they sure do price them out of the hands of many. Those 56C frame are always a 3 phase set up in 115v and 240v?

Price compared to your life in a survival situation you decide? Well done gentlemen !

This didn't age well. Now it all came out that Survive! Knives was lying all along just to get free metal. A few more less savory things have come to light as well. As in, the owner was arrested in 1999 and charged with stealing firearms and attempted to sell them in Gettysburg, PA.

When was the DBK video released? I don’t recall seeing it…

Survive is closing up shop for good. Probably looking for bankruptcy protection. It sounds like they've taken a lot of people's money and those people will never see it again. He's blaming the whole thing on the decarb issue. A little honesty would probably go a long way. "We screwed up." The fact that they refused to take Niagra up on their offer to buy back the allegedly faulty Magnacut says it all. There's a RUclips video titled "What's going on at Survive". I'll trust Dr. Larrin Thomas over some Guy who got in over his head and is arrogant enough to act like it's because his company has higher standards than the rest of the industry. After reading the statement from Niagra it's clear that Survive was a company with no scruples trying to get money for absolutely nothing, willing to tarnish the reputation of suppliers/manufacturers in order to get a larger settlement. Somebody should keep an eye on Guy. He seems like the type to take whatever he's able to salvage and start doing the same thing under a different company name.

I made the mistake of ordering a knife from Survive! in January 2023. Heard nothing back from them for over a year, so I sent them and email asking about their business and progress on knives. I got a generic email back thanking me for my business and addressing none of my questions, the response felt automated. I waiting a few more months, and emailed asking for a refund, no response. a few months late, same request, no response. I feel scammed, and based on the comments, I'm not the only one.

*Important Survive Knives Update* *Survive Knives is still shut down, Guy belongs in a jail cell, and nobody will be getting their money back or the knife they ordered!* *It's time for class action lawsuits and prison time for Guy*

I would say Joe touching a knife voids the warranty 😆

You are a knife maker?! The kamikoto might not be as good as advertised, they are not but it would be better if you actually review the box and leave the knives for someone who knows.

RUclips is filled with scams and they do very little to prevent them. Scams via paid sponsorship, scams via ads and scams run by prominent channels (e.g. Logan Paul). I would be deeply wary of anything promoted by anyone on this platform or any other social media platform.

I am a knife maker and survive gso 6 owner. I love the knife but I wouldn’t be able to get away with 10% of the backhanded customer service and shady practices they do. I’m hoping you all get your knives you paid for.

I waited 3 yrs to get my knife from Survive and when I finally got it I received the wrong knife made from the wrong steel and was told it would take a while to fix the error on their end. That was 14 mos ago. Still waiting.

Respect for sending your knife to Joe…even MORE respect for taking criticism to make your blades even better!

I believe Bradford Knives put it best: MagnaCut is a dream for the end user and a nightmare for the manufacturer, especially in the 62+ HRC range. If Survive! can't get their manufacturing right it's hardly the steel's fault tho. If you can't work with it how about you don't use it?

What an awesome video thank you

This is the king of kings of fixed knives, this is a statement !!!

Good work posting this !! Respect !! Greets from the Netherlands 🇳🇱, TW.

Much respect! Tip my helmet to you. Greetings from the Netherlands 🇳🇱, TW.

Survive Knives are con artists. Niagara is a legitimate company and a national treasure. You are way too charitable, but don't stop being that way. God bless.

Thank you!

Bravo Gary, IMO CPM Steels are world class! Survive Knifes on the other hand; not so much. The Creely Blades I saw at the show where incredible. While some makers don't even bother to attend. Thanks for the 6 micron diamond dust it; smells good and makes for a hair cutting edge.

Thanks Gary! Love hearing from you! Thanks for the info

If I lived in the United States, I would have ordered it right away. Unfortunately, I live in Korea, so it costs too much money to buy this knife. However, it is an attractive knife that I want even more every time I watch the video.

Great information thank you.

It’s a pleasure to hear from Gary talking about steel products.

Aye, I've never heard of it but I am certainly keen on Damasteel and that can be an expensive attraction.

Great video. Thanks.

indestructible

Good grief people…although Survive Knives has been notably very slow to deliver knives, the man has never made false claims while building his company. He is only guilty of trusting others to do their dam job, or deliver the product/process purchased. Been seeing this issue more and more over the years, pay for premium and get mediocer. Seems to be a huge issue here in the good old USA…land of the internet nobs. .

Great tip! I still need practice, i broke two knives 😓😓😓 hope to get better at it soon

All of Guys criticisms have just been confirmed by third party lab analysis, so say what you want but science has backed up his claims.

Survive Knives is not well managed. They also don't keep their word and are not truthful. At least that was my experience with them. Unless everyone in that company is replaced, I will never do business with them again.

I appreciate your input on this matter.

now that they admit that there was a problem in the melt how do you feel about talking shit about survive. you secured your back saying this stuff thats all

post deleted. cute.

If you were to leave a minor warp would it effect the toughness of the blade?

I drew up my own desing and a bladesmith made it in 8670 and it works great and I love how tuff the steel is

Not your original intent, but this still doesn’t answer why people with 3V orders are waiting 5-8 years for delivery.

Anything can be destroyed. It took a ballistic assault to destroy your knife. Impressive.

Is this the knife steel you sell to the public ?
